Need your wizard wisdom /g/.
Recently bought myself Samsung USB 3.0 Flash Drive DUO 64GB, main purpose is to collect all my vidya to emulate and play on the tablet during long trips.
One end regular USB the other micro USB for connecting with smartphones, tablets and the likes.
Now, regular USB works ok however when I connect to my android tablet via micro USB, it gets rather hot pretty fast, even if I am not doing anything.
Does android rape USB drives via constant read write or something?
I tried to search for this behaviour but cant find anything.
Another thing this drive has some 5 proof technology which is most likely a marketing BS speech for "hopefully it will work for a while" however, out of curiosity how high temp can pendrive hold for a prolonged period of time without losing all that shit I put on it?
And another thing, someone tried to convince me that if I use pendrive like that (put it in my tablet and play vidya from it for hours) it will die on me after a week. Why?
I was pretty certain that pendrives are pretty durable animals and I can have it plugged in 24/7, listening music from all the time and it wont care a bit. Was i wrong?

Its not that bad, just some "splishy, splashy" and "giggle, giggle"
Going to sleep now, hope to check tomorrow for answers.
Bump for answers. Modern drives especially samsung are pretty reliable. Write operations cause more heating. Playing i.e. read shouldn't be a problem imo. The lifespan of a drive is when the controller breaks or when the NAND can't take the write/read anymore. Check up some endurance benchmarks for usbs to get an idea (I remember the hyperX 3.0 series doing pretty well. Your samsung drive will probably last even longer.)
USB drives are pretty robust and reliable nowadays. Don't let em run for long if they're heating up fast or too hot(usb 3.1, type c etc usually do)
