I use a similar all metal Kingston drive as an off-site backup for my paperless office, a crucial task as these days I scan and shred almost all business and personal documents. I’ve used it for a long time and have come to trust it. This drive also being made by a major manufacturer gave me confidence regarding dependability. The metal clad casing ensured structural rigidity and reasonable protection against the elements, and the USB 3.0 and backward compatibility meant it should be compatible for the useful life of my computer. If I had to choose between the two now that I have both my opinion is that the Kingston has a better shaped design – the Samsung’s protruding keyhole can be an issue in tight spaces – and the quality of materials on the Kingston feels like solid machined aluminum whereas the Samsung feels like chrome plated sheet metal. Neither of those are really major issues though.
Windows recommends a minimum of a 16GB flash drive for making a recovery disk. My computer doesn’t have an optical drive or any other way to make a recovery disk so the only option is using a USB drive. At 32GB this drive gives me a margin of extra capacity and in reality the cost for a 32GB at under fourteen bucks made price a non-issue. For reference, making a WIN10 recovery disk on a quad core fast brand new computer using the USB 3.0 port took about 40 minutes.
Having a key ring hole is more than just a convenience, it lets me physically attach the drive to a place where I always know where it is when needed so it won’t end up at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. For similar reasons I opted not to go with one of the ultra small nano drives I saw listed, there’s too much risk of misplacing it.
I can’t tell you if this drive will ever fail, any drive can and might do that someday. But remember I’m using it for insurance against my computer dying and needing recovery so the chances of both my computer and this drive biting the dust are pretty slim. I’m not worried.

This usb has an abundance of features convenient for any user. The first being portability; this device easily attaches to any key ring, which is handy because you will never have to worry about not having the flash drive with you. This can prepare you for unforeseen situations when you need to have a storage device. The second is storage space and data transfer speed. With 32 GB of storage you can easily store all your personal files on this drive and do so quickly with a 150 MB/s transfer rate. The downside to this is if you want to keep program files. 32 GB will not be a sufficient size for this and I would recommend the 128 GB version. The third aspect of this device is the durability. If you constantly have this product on you it will be subject to everyday hazards. This includes temperature variances, weather, and dropping the device. Any one of these can ruin a piece of technology and cause one to lose all of their information. I have subjected this product to a variety of elements and never had any issues with it. Lastly, the best part of this product is the price at $13.99. This is a cheap price that is marketable for everyone. Solid State devices will cost 10x this price tag and physical external hard drives carry a higher risk with the potential to lose data if mishandled.
Finally, this product has met every one of my expectations and I will continue to utilize it in variety of ways. I hope my review is helpful in your decision making process.
After searching for something that did not have any of those limiting factors, I found this Samsung BAR drive, and so far have no real regrets. Build quality, at least for the Metallic version, is excellent, with the entire drive case being made of a solid unibody metal rather than plastic, and with no protruding connectors, caps, or swivels. Having read several other reviews stating that the drive has continued to function after going through the wash is also a plus, as I wouldn't put it past one of my boys to do that eventually. This thing looks and feels like it could easily handle that.
In terms of the design, the key ring loop does make it a bit easier to insert and remove the drive from a USB port if not actually on a key ring, but is somewhat awkward to plug into tight areas otherwise. Also, if kept on a key ring, the drive only hangs flat next to your keys on one side of the ring. If it's on the wrong side, it sticks straight out from the rest of your keys, forcing you to move it to the other side of the ring before sticking it in your pocket. Other than those minor complaints, the drive is solid, durable, and will hopefully hold up to whatever abuse my teens can dish out.
Read/write speeds are typical for a good USB 3.0 drive. I did notice that one of the drives got very hot when transferring several large files at once, which is the reason I took a star off. Should there be an issue due to overheating as time goes on, I'll update this review. Otherwise, this looks to be an excellent choice for a drive that can keep up with my teenagers.

En tanto al rendimiento fue mucho mejor les dejo una imagen de la comparativa de velocidad donde esta memoria Samsung alcanzo un máximo muy superior. La memoria que viene como unidad "G" es la Kingston y la "H" la Samsung.
Lo único que no me gusto es que la memoria se calienta, en el resto de memorias que he tenido no se han calentado, solo he notado que las de carcasa metálica se calientan y debe ser la razón por la cual son de metal para que sirva de disipador.
