Hot thumb drive?

[iwannam3]

I pulled out my 256 gig thumb drive and it was pretty hot! Is that normal?

I noticed the same thing with mine, and my car had been parked for a while when I removed it.

Maybe that's why mine is all corrupted!! It work great for months then all of a sudden the entire camera icon is gone. Won't reformat- it's fried.

Yes, they can run hot. I had a Sandisk 128gb drive and it ran pretty hot.
