Score: 77/100
Enuoda 128GB USB Flash Drive
Score: 57/100Rankings
The Samsung BAR Plus 128 GB USB flash drive combines a sleek metal body with waterproof and shock-proof protection, offering decent performance for everyday use. However, real-world read speeds are lower than advertised and some users experience occasional disconnections and heat issues. It suits casual users and professionals who value durability over top-tier speed.
The Enuoda 128GB USB 2.0 thumb drive offers high capacity and a convenient capless swivel design with LED indication. Its main drawbacks are the slow USB 2.0 transfer rates and lack of rugged features. Best suited for budget-conscious users needing basic storage on older computers.

Professional reviewers acknowledge the BAR Plus as a solid mid-range USB flash drive that delivers a noticeable performance jump over Samsung's older BAR 3.0 while maintaining an attractive price per gigabyte. They commend its metal build, compact design, and five-year warranty, but criticize the gap between advertised (400 MB/s) and real-world sequential read speeds (≈283 MB/s) and its modest write speeds, positioning it below premium options like the SanDisk Extreme Pro.
Everyday users generally praise the drive's durability, attractive design, and ample 128GB capacity, noting reliable plug-and-play operation across devices. Recurring complaints focus on occasional disconnections, heat buildup that can lead to failure, and the lack of a dust cap, with a few reports of corrupted files during transfers.
