Despite a lot of our data moving to the cloud, it's always handy to have a flash drive with you in case you need to quickly transfer some data from one place to another. Thankfully, it's really affordable to achieve with deals like this one on the 32GB Samsung Bar Plus USB 3.1 flash drive. It's down to just $8.20 at Amazon which is a new all-time low there. The discount applies to the silver model, with the gray version selling for just a few cents more. Considering this drive normally sells for around $14 when not on sale, this is a nice deal with a $6 savings. You can even get free shipping on it if you include it in your order of $25 or more, or check out with Amazon Prime. If you need more space, other capacities are on sale too.

The Bar Plus flash drive is designed for absolute portability. Just use the keyring to attach it to the keys you carry around with you all the time anyway. The rugged metal casing protects your data. It's resistant to water, shock, magnets, extreme temperatures, and even X-rays. It's backwards-compatible with USB 3.0 and previous generations.
