It’s been forever since I last spotted a flash drive deal worth mentioning, and that’s all you need to know about the current state of storage prices. The AI-driven storage shortage is wreaking havoc on the market, which means if you need an excellent flash drive at a reasonable price, you’re gonna want to jump on this deal.
Right now, you can get the 256GB version of the Samsung Bar Plus for $33 on Amazon, which is 37% down from its original $52. It’s far from the best price I’ve ever seen, but who knows how long it’ll be before storage prices go back down—if they even go back down at all.
This USB-A flash drive is built for speed and resilience, hitting read speeds up to 400 MB/s for quick file transfers. The rugged metal casing is robust and durable, so your data won’t be lost even if you drop it from on high. It also doesn’t hurt that the Bar Plus is waterproof, shockproof, magnet-proof, temperature-proof, and X-ray-proof. It’s also compact and portable, with a lanyard hole for easy carrying.
If you’re desperately in need of a great flash drive, get this 256GB Samsung Bar Plus before the price shoots back up. I honestly don’t know when the next discount will hit. If you want to save a bit more, you could also opt for the 128GB Samsung Bar Plus for $22.
