I've run hard drive tests on this card and got phenomenal results. I also check the temperature with an infrared thermometer and it stays cool (less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit on the controller) through various tests. The controller area of the card stays pretty cool and I don't see a heatsink on it. I even did a full system restore on this flash drive, which took hours due to using USB 2.0 on a mechanical hard drive. This constant recording didn't let the temp rise either, it was still below 100F. I have a Western Digital Black that gets way hotter than this stick. In general I am very happy. Time will tell if that doesn't work out at some point.
