QUOTE(ryder_78 @ Oct 6 2025, 01:21 PM) Thanks for the information. So far I don't experience any damage to my plastic flash drives but guess I"m lucky. Anyway I don't use flash drives too often and mostly use portable HDDs. I will take note of your experience of damaged/corrupt plastic flash drives and that your metal USB flash drive is still working fine. last time all metal is "premium" priced. so opt for plastic for cheap2. now no more. either the case break, the port break or the flash itself corrupt. now i got 32GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, all metal. |

QUOTE(ryder_78 @ Oct 6 2025, 01:35 PM) Sorry, don't quite understand. What do you mean when you say, "now no more"? sorry. i mean now im no longer keeping any plastic usb drive. all is full metal usbA+usbC.QUOTE(acbc @ Oct 6 2025, 01:44 PM) SanDisk 128GB metal user here. Same problem. Once too hot to touch, the drive will slow down or disconnected all together. happen a few times, it will unmount itself.QUOTE(ryder_78 @ Oct 6 2025, 01:52 PM) Just worried if the device stops working or malfunction and it wipes out all the files stored inside it. Has anyone experienced damaged flash drives wiping out all the files and any attempts to retrieve the files are unsuccessful? I may need to do a backup of the files if there is a risk of the files not being able to be retrieved if the device is damaged. this happen to my metal usb connected to samsung TV. the partition/file system become corrupt.did not bother to recover, connect to tablet, format, it work again. somehow, that samsung TV does not play nice with exFAT format. when i plug NTFS format usb, it work without killing it. ryder_78 liked this post
