Ultra Fit USB 3.0: Excessive Heat

Sandisk have a problem with their usb 3 implementation. They have had this problem for at least 5 years judging by this forum.

They offered me a swap for an Ultra Flair. But I am reading that they too get too hot to touch!

I am using the Ultra Fit 64GB on a short extension lead  It runs a bit slower but it won’t cook the laptop port.

I also have a 64GB Ultra Dual Drive usb 3 which is actually faster than the Ultra Fit and is tollerably hot. The much larger plastic body could be the reason?

Other brands of usb 3 flash drive dont have this heat problem. Why are Sandisk not addressing it?
