Hmmm, thanks, interesting article... it says the reason the USB drive would get hot is primarily because of a defective USB port, although it would get hot but not so bad during normal use... interesting that this one has not gotten hot or even warm, it's actually cool to the touch... I'm going to keep my eye on it and simply remove it if it begins to heat up...

Data transfer is a temporary event, although it can take a substantial amount of time depending on how much data there is. Also, writing data generates more heat than reading data does.
