Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat

I just found this thread, and while I’ve seen my Ultra Fit getting quite hot in the past, it seemed to work mostly fine nevertheless.

However, having just found it about its torn pin (as I posted in http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/All-SanDisk-USB-Flash-Drives/Ultra-Fit-not-working-is-the-4th-USB-3-0-pin-normal/m-p/366254), I wonder if any of you has a similar issue? I had never noticed it before, so I wonder if it could be related.
