Can't say i have the same experiences. The only products to fail me where really really cheap AliExpress devices.

Sandisk in general I’ve had good luck with - but there are a ton of fakes out there.

That said, I see no way this drive could dissipate any useful amount of heat at all, so suspicious it would be a problem under sustained write loads.

Especially since most use cases likely would never have sustained write loads.

  • The way to tell if it's genuine Sandisk is if you can't get the damn thing out of the package without cussing!

    • I agree - I eventually (not just for this case) got some EMT shears, and oh boy. So much less blood hah.
