Serious overheating issues - shutdown / disconnects
Unfortunately, the bad reviews are true. This thing really does get blazing hot during use. Copying 5GB of files to the 128GB drive resulted in a surface temperature of 67C, which is way too hot to touch / hold. The ambient temperature at the time was 23C. This high temperature wouldn't be so bad, except that the drive also shuts down / disconnects when it gets that hot. That means that copying any large file will result in file corruption / deletion. This makes this somewhat large storage device completely useless except when used to store a handful of small and only occasionally used files.
