    The reason why these are built inside Aluminum chassis is because they have to use 2 Memory controllers!

    Remember when you Use your old USB2.0 Stick and pulled it off your system when it was done? It was warm wasn’t it? That is the memory controller busy irradiating your hand!

    Now these new sticks that use 2 already hot memory controllers have to be encased in a metallic or ceramic case in order for them to not melt the plastic variety…
    The only downside to this is that you will burn yourself when removing your USB3.0 Stick!

    So… Is it worth the pain?
