The housing feels like metal, but it's probably some type of ceramic or polymer jacket. It weighs a little more than the standard flash drive. And it does get a little hot with extended use, but that doesn't seem to affect performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I was using in powered hub, so no. Barely above room temp. Starve any electronics of juice & it will get hot. Would not plug them into a cheap laptop for example. Uncle
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is a plastic inner drive housing inserted into a metal outer case housing. I transferred over 500 gigabytes of images in one setting and it was a little warm but not at all hot. The drive is the type that slides forward ( push-up) from the outer housing. The first time it was very tight and I thought it may be defective but I just forced it in and out several times until it worked smoothly. I suspect the plastic housing on the drive was designed purposely to be a tight fit into the metal outer case housing. Overall the drive works great and I am very satisfied. Hope this helps.
