Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat

(I posted a ‘solution’ earlier, but the links to the suggested cable, are now not supplying a suitable cable - fit is too loose )

Here is my solution -

Purchase an extension cable (Male and Female ends) that will help dissipate the heat. The female end has to have no rubber covering so that it is metal to metal and the metal is exposed to the air.

Also I (very much) like the female end to provide a VERY snug fit for the SanDisk thumb drive

This helps keep the heat manageable, and prevents any damage to the usb soclet on your laptop(etc)

I recently browsed eBay looking for a current sale that might match my requirements.

I just received one today and it is perfect.

I just ordered another 6, so be quick (He is only showing 4 left)
