I was worried about this product overheating since it's a plastic enclosure, but it seems to be doing fine. It does heat up a bit, but not so much that it burns my fingers if I touch it. I would recommend the next line be a Cruzer Fit-type that have metal enclosures and have six heat vents (two standard on top and two on each side) that help with dissipating heat.
Cruzer was a great line, but lacked in speed being only 2.0 and only having a storage capacity of up to only 64GB.
A Cruzer "3.1," if you will, should have the metal enclosures and six heating vents like before, but be 3.1 and have a storage capacity of up to 512GB.
I think I bought this model but I do not know if it is the original or not, but I did not see a really high speed, maybe there is a problem with my system.
The model of my flash drive is 16 GB.
But my main problem was the .exe file inside the flash, which I realized after purchasing and opening it and browsing it in the system.
The SanDiskSecureAccessV3.1_win.exe file appears to be infected because SecureAge APEX detected it as Malicious.
1 security vendor and 1 sandbox flagged this file as malicious.

Hello,
I am Will from SanDisk® Global Support Team. The speed of a USB Drive depends upon various factors. The interface used to connect the drive to the computer may limit the speed of the drive as well. However, in order to isolate the possibilities of the issue that you are facing we may have to perform a speed test on your memory card to check if the card is performing within the expected specifications. SanDisk® stands behind its commitment to quality and warranty on its products. We will also check if your Memory Card is eligible for a possible replacement. I would suggest you to please contact SanDisk® support at 1-866-SANDISK and we will isolate the issue and will assist you towards a resolution.
The plastic cracked with very little use. I hardly use it and keep it on the key chain in my pocket, exactly what it's designed for. One day after about a year and half, pulled it out and found a portion of the housing broke off. Sandisk stated "misuse" and disqualified the warranty. Wouldn't buy or recommend this to anyone.

This device is poorly designed. It is not low profile and sticks out of your device by ~1cm (between 9 and 10mm). Because it hangs out so far and has a big lip for a lanyard it is very easy to lose in the day-to-day (I had it pop out while removing my laptop from my bag). Furthermore, the shape of the plastic is tapered instead of squared, so if you drop your device and it lands on the drive, the drive will ream into your USB port and kill it, which happened to me today.
SanDisk should make / you should buy a drive that has a square end on it. That way if your device is dropped, the load of the fall is transferred to the device case instead of the USB port. If you look at the GALAXY of products there is a proper FIT.
