My friend took my 32GB with her to Taiwan.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was referring to the small lexar ones in the other post because those USED to have problems with overheating. The thing was too small to dissipate heat. This on the other hand, being plastic, should be fineEverybodyKnows wrote: ↑ No reply... safe to assume you were just making stuff up then?

Metals, especially aluminum and copper, conduct (absorb and dissipate) heat BETTER than other plastics. Except newer, way more expensive plastics, which I doubt are used in any of these USB. That's PHYSICS. Why do you think CPU, GPU heatsinks are made of these metals, and not plastics?Paroxetine wrote: ↑
The product is listed as a metal USB drive. And metal absorbs heat so it might get hotter than other plastic USB drives.

I did not say the heat is an undesirable feature for USB drives, but for some people the heat could be a concern.konsensei wrote: ↑ Metals, especially aluminum and copper, conduct (absorb and dissipate) heat BETTER than other plastics.

The reason it gets hot on USB casing is because it is dissipating heat from the USB's board and chip. And you should prefer this, to plastics USB casing as it does not dissipate heat from USB's board and chip, which will turn the inside of an USB into a mini-oven, thus bad bad bad for chips and board.

um...heat is an undesirable feature...the "you should prefer this" was referring to the metal casing over plasticParoxetine wrote: ↑ I did not say the heat is an undesirable feature for USB drives, but for some people the heat could be a concern.
However, you should not always prefer an USB casing that gets hot. Design flaws and lack of cutouts can be responsible for poor heat dissipation, thus leading to some drives being excessively hot to the touch, constant disconnecting and reconnecting, or possible USB port damage.

This happens on plastics USB, as heat being trapped inside the plastics casing. Metal USBs, are "hot" to touch, but are actually good for your USB's board and chip as well as the USB ports, because the casing is being the heat dissipator.Paroxetine wrote: ↑ I did not say the heat is an undesirable feature for USB drives, but for some people the heat could be a concern.

As I said in my earlier post, a hot casing could be a concern for some people. See below.

Good question. I was wondering the same thing.darethehair wrote: ↑ Very interested, but would want to use for booting Linux. Have a 32gb Sandisk Ultra Fit that does *not* work for this purpose (though the 64gb and 128gb models work just fine). Anyone know about this Verbatim's ability to do so?

I am just pointing out that metal USB drives can get hot.
