Because of the confines of the casing, some heating is required. All of it has a plasticky quality. Got a pair. When one's writing and reading speeds are in sync, it's considered normal. Second, it can read at 40mbs and write between 12 and 20mbs. I'm going to see if I can return the broken one for a working one.
