Samsung Bar Plus 3.1 vs SanDisk iXpand

The 3.1 speeds are drastically greater than the 3.0. Also, if considering purchasing the 648Gb, the speeds between the two are drastically in favor of the 128Gb version

Using a USB 2.0 port, the iXpand slows down to average read speeds of 39.29MBps. Write speeds, on the other hand, remains almost unchanged at 17

Rugged, reliable, and fast. I will be purchasing more of these soon. I have told many people about this drive and the fact that Samsung provides free shipping is a big plus.

Again, it worked just as advertised. Last test: I transferred some videos from my iMac to the iXpand, then plugged iXpand into my iPhone 6s and the videos played perfectly. (Note: You must view them through the iXpand app.) The app is easy to understand

Sometimes you need extra storage that rarely needs to leave your laptop. The tiny Samsung FIT Plus flash drive is roughly the same size as a USB dongle for a wireless mouse, so you can leave it plugged into your device with minimal risk of bumps or accidental removal.

Which, of course, defeats the purpose of having this flash drive - to save the files you don’t have space for on your device, and to use this drive to play them from! If Sandisk added audio codecs to its app player for DTS, AC3, and whatever else they forgot to support - this would be a great solution for playing videos on the road. Until then, this is a promising, but highly flawed execution.

Since discs are becoming obsolete, this may be the way to go! I don't trust the "cloud" or social media to house my personal photos. What happens if they stop their service, or start charging for storage? No, better for me to keep my personal things within my control. 5 ***** stars for ease of use, storage capacity, and reliability!

the storage on this device is fine. It does what it it supposed to do. The MAJOR flaw with this device is the "Secured storage" This is the place you are SUPPOSED to be able to store things that are VALUABLE to you!. It is called the "Vault" Here is the issues that MANY complain about
