SanDisk 256GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive Up to 400 MB/s Read

Product Information

With capacities up to 512GB 6, you can store more of your critical files and important photos, videos, and more. And came to this forum by searching ultrafit exesive heat after transfering 5 1,5 gb files first through a usb port, then through a USB 3 hub. So I tried it with a USB 3.0 extension cable and it also gets too hot to touch, but I don’t think my transfer went long enough to have it disconnect. I’m going to try it with my laptop’s port after it cools down.

The Verbatim branded thumbdrive get really hot(whole body is aluminium) even if plugged into smartphone after prolonged use.In my computer’s USB3, my receivers’ (One Onkyo and the other a Denon) and my samsung Bluray I have noticed heat issues… I found this same problem. And the main reason is that it poorly designed when compared with Cruzer Fit.

I’m wondering if this is due to the LED in the case that is constantly (24/7) blinking and drawing power? Maybe this was designed to only blink when read/write??? Reading and Writing to the Ultra Fit on my Acer laptop didn’t have any disconnects, but the metal part did get really hot. Designed for plug-and-stay storage, this compact flash drive works with laptops, tablets, TVs, gaming consoles, car audio systems, and more. Plug it in, and you’ve got instant storage that’s always available!

I’ve tried the drive in both a USB hub and directly on the ports on my motherboard. They both cause it to fail eventually. I bought the SanDisk USB OTG 64GB thumbdrive, it feels hot at the USB connector, but not as hot as Verbatim 64GB Thumbdrive, as far as i could research the heating case for the ultra fit i found out that its becoming so hot because of the small size of the drive and that its not plastic.
