    Can anyone comment on the heat this generates?

      I have the 64GB model and it gets crazy hot, even after a minute. Not hot enough to burn you but uncomfortably warm.

        So crazy hot is not hot enough to burn you….!?!?

        Not hot enough to burn you but uncomfortably warm.

        Oh hot is not actually hot just uncomfortably warm.

        TLDR; your flash drive gets warm.

      • Gracias

    • Can anyone comment on the heat this generates?

      All flash drives generate heat, the physically larger the drive and the more plastic and this heat is hidden away.

      This will feel hotter because the only place it can dissipate heat is the USB connector which is also the only place you touch. Leave it in the computer for a few minutes after you've used​ it extensively so it can cool down.

      I've used plenty of these for years including some in long term usage and never had a failure.

      • I had Sony ones years back that were just the connector and nothing else (smallest USB ever that you can get). Didn't get this hot. I wouldn't actually buy this model again cos it too gets hot for me and throws up write errors.

        That being said I do have a Sandisk extreme that hasn't given me issue.

      • Muchas gracias

      It generates a lot of heat and transfer speeds slow to a crawl after about 5GB written, crashes after about 50GB (and almost an hour).

      It might be OK if you only write occasional small files, but for 10GB or bigger transfers (virtual PC images in my case) it's useless, makes the 128GB capacity fairly pointless.

      I returned my first one to SanDisk, the replacement was the same.

      • Thanks goof. A perfect use case summary. Understand that all of these get warm but always wondered what affect it had on sustained use. Cheers

        You might want to look at what you're plugging it into, the USB port may be poorly connected and unable to dissipate heat.

        I use them for VM's, backups and transferring media with no issues.

      Perfect timing for this bargain, what with winter coming.
      Finally a cheap means to warm the entire house :)

    Same price on eBay for local stock with CHOCCY $10 off code. eg $40.95 delivered from Sydneytec - just add a $1 item to your cart, eg this to hit the $50 minimum spend (total price $40.95 includes the $1 item).

    • Any other suggested 5cent\$1 items?

  • A had a 64GB ultra small drive. Used it for a month. Lost it. Found it a year later. Lost it a month after that. It's been another year now. It hasn't surfaced.

      Have a look under your lemon tree ;)

        Can't. It's on fire.

  • Is this better\worse or same as the recent Samsung Stick 128GB on offer via ebay?

    • When I did a bit of research I found some Web discussions about compatibility with the Samsung drive, which put me off a bit so bought Sandisk. They do run hot, they reported higher current in a windows app than my Lexar, but no failures and reasonably fast for USB3.

    Exact same model died around a year mark good thing is the data is intact while the drive can't write fresh info warranty support was good although haven't sent it.back for exchange hmm gotta mail them thanks for reminding op

    i have 2 of these 128Gb flash drives. Had them for almost a year. Sure they get warm. They work great though. no complaints.

  • I use one of these in the back of my Wii U to hold all of my Wii ISOs. Works great.

    Its now $32.89 + $5.11 USD to Australia.. Not worth it. Better off with the Local Ebay deal as above.

  • Great product, use it to boost my surface pro's ability to store our corporate Dropbox files on. Very happy with it.

    • I hope it's all encrypted if you are storing work files on it.

      • I hope it's all encrypted if you are storing work files on it.

        He's using Dropbox so it hardly makes any difference given how insecure they are.

        • Like storing anywhere else is any different. If it's connected to the web it's insecure

        • They said it's to store the Dropbox files, that means downloading Dropbox files to the drive.

          We can't use Dropbox at work as like you said, too insecure.

    • More the question - how did you get Dropbox to store onto a removable media? It doesnt normally allow it? Or did you load up a virtual disk file or NTFS redirect/mount it?

  • My experience with the 64gb version is that it doesn't get hot at all.

    I run MAME off it and never had a problem.

    I admit that's not very intensive but I've never had heat issues.
