help Samsung BAR Plus USB 3.1 FAQ
Does the Samsung BAR Plus USB 3.1 get hot during large file transfers?
Because of its dense metal unibody design, the drive can get noticeably warm during sustained write operations. However, the metal chassis actually acts as a heat sink, and the drive is rated for USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 200 MB/s.
Is the Samsung BAR Plus waterproof and shockproof?
Yes, the metal unibody design makes it highly resistant to shock, extreme temperatures, magnets, and water. Samsung also backs this durability with a 5-year limited warranty.
What are the actual write speeds of the 128GB Samsung BAR Plus?
While read speeds are advertised up to 200 MB/s, the write speeds on the 128GB model are significantly slower, typically hovering around 25 to 30 MB/s. If you need faster write speeds for recording 4K video directly to the drive, you should look at the higher capacity 256GB model or the BAR Plus Titanium.
Will the Samsung BAR Plus work on an older USB 2.0 port?
Yes, it is fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. However, plugging it into a USB 2.0 port will bottleneck the transfer speeds to a maximum of around 30 MB/s.
