Just bought a Sandisk Blade, and I had some questions.
-
What’s with Sandisk’s move to all plastic flash drives? The Sandisk blade, the Edge, and I think the new Switch. I’m not an electrician but I saw on wikipedia that the metal housing is supposed to ground the flash drive and shield the connections as information is being transferred. Wouldn’t a plastic drive compromise that?

Also, what about durability. I don’t know how much testing Sandisk has done in house but the plastic looks pretty thin. If it does crack (I don’t know about Blade but this happens a lot with iomega atom), would the warranty cover it?
