Samsung Electronics America, the leader in advanced memory technology, today announced a new 512GB capacity for its BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB 3.2 Gen1 Flash Drives. The newest drives introduce more storage capacity to the lineup in the same sleek designs, perfect for storing your favorite tunes, irreplaceable photos/videos, and important work or school documents. These USB flash drives help you back up your data and save time thanks to their high capacity, quick speeds, wide device compatibility, and reliability.
“We recognize that professionals across the U.S. have more data storage needs than ever. That’s why we’re introducing a new size option within our cutting-edge BAR Plus and FIT Plus USB Flash Drive line-up, ensuring there is a storage solution for everyone,” said Jose Hernandez, Senior Director of Memory Product Marketing at Samsung. “The drives are also intentionally designed to fit your personal style – whether you prefer something sleek and modern or unassuming and traditional, you can always be plugged in.”
The 512GB options offer read speeds of up to 400 MB/s and write speeds up to 110 MB/s to ensure quick data transfers. With both USB flash drives, you can transfer a 3GB 4K UHD video file to your PC in 10 seconds1. Plus, it’s extremely versatile thanks to its compatibility with any device that uses a USB 3.1 port, and it’s also backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. For easy use, they are compatible with operating systems like Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
