these are great
Is this better than the Tesla default usb ?
I think it is the same USB, just rebranded as Tesla.
It's the exact same shape so I'm thinking it's the same
This is another option if you need USB-C, also better write speed: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0CJ5V8BRL?th=1
Buy 3 for $62.02 with the 8 & 10% discounts.
I'm avoiding SanDisk USBs until they make ones which don't run so hot they start having issues or slowdowns.
What do you recommend usb type C to transfer files from phone that not run hot?
Just don't leave it in too long.
Get the job done the get out.
What are people using these for in 2024? I kind of want one but don't see the use case
No CD player in car. 128gb of tunes.
Can also just leave these plugged into the back of TVs for PVRJust had to Google PVR. What are you recording? And with what? My interest has been piqued
recommend setting up kodi, all the FTA catch up channels/apps in one place, easier (list) interface and ad-free!
I still wouldn't mind one for $20 but may never use it. 1-2TB M.2 is better these days (for music server etc).
Side load things on the PS3/PS4, lazily / manually copy videos and plug it into the side of the tv to watch them.
These are one of the drives recommended by unRaid to use as a boot disk. Can't find the page though.
Playing files from your PC on your TV (obviously).
exporting /importing data in the field (Surveyor) these are pretty durable and don't break
I stopped using them. Instead, I'm using a Transcend ESD310C 1TB. It's much faster.

Looks pretty good and robust. Grabbed one. Thanks OP
Do these still get incredibly hot?
My first thought. I have one.
In that case, I wouldn't have a…bar…of it
?
@Mondorock: the product is called a Samsung BAR
to "not having a bar of" something is a commonly used expression
he made a pun
This would be my concern. I had a different USB (I think it was Sandisk branded) and plugged it into my TV to watch movies from, and it got so hot that it started melting.
Yeah I have a Sandisk that gets pretty hot too and looking to replace, but I remember the stories of the old Samsung Bars that were too hot to touch after just being plugged in and not even read/writing - would rather avoid that
d'oh.
I have some old 32GB Samsung FIT and Sandisk FIT and certainly back then Sandisk would overheat like crazy but the Samsung stayed cool … so guess which one was left permanently plugged into the back.
Looking to upsize that one but obviously same criteria around the heat.
I've bought this before, unfortunately keeping it on the keyring doesn't seem to be safe for it.
Does it come of a steel keyring?
I've had 2 or 3 of these, (keep on upgrading size when deals appear), and they've all lived on my keyring, without a single issue over 5? ish years. It's why I buy them, they're rugged, unlike the cheapo plastic cases, which won't survive on a keyring. If you're storing data, you don't want to lose them.
So wild…. I've still got a Transcend 128MB USB drive I bought for like $70, and back then I thought it was a steal for something I could fit an album of mp3s on lol
Memories….
I've got a functioning Sony Vault 32MB chunky usb stick. Back then it was a great floppy replacement.
+1, can vouch for these.
Have accidentally chucked in the washing machine and it came out fine. Really fast, no complaints.Thanks, seems like an unreal price for 128gb. There is a YouTube video of a 32gb Samsung Bar 3.0 being boiled and hit with a hammer and surviving.
I've had a 64gb in my TV for a couple years with no problem.
Whereas the little thumbnail sized Sandisks only lasted a month till they corrupted.
Although the BAR acts like a heatsink even when not in use as it's always hot when I remove it.
These come free with any Tesla in the glovebox. They work well given the continuous write nature of recording the dashcam to it.
Great deal! Just bought four, thanks!
