This Lexar NS100 runs at a consistent 48°C, while the SanDisk Ultra has a chilly 35°C normally. That's a difference of at least 13C that will be noticeable, especially if you're using this drive in a…

I'm an electrical engineer with over 35 years of experience on the university's Computing Advisory Board and have developed solid state drives/devices for several medical life support products. I have installed and/or used 32 SSDs from 11 brands and have found Lexar uSD cards and SSDs to be superior and deliver consistent read/write performance. I expect them to maintain their performance over the long term (2 years or more), but so far they've only had 6 months of experience with 11 devices. I
