At first I thought these had a flimsy plastic USB connector shell but on closer look, appears to be metal.
Anyone know if these use the little all-integrated chip module like Sandisk (Ultra, Ultra Flair, etc) or a full length PCB inside? The former is prone to overheating and has a lower potential for write speeds within the USB2 domain, but is more durable if integrated well into the connector shell, which the Sandisk Ultra does but the Ultra Flair not so much.
One thing about the capless design. I used to think it didn't matter and it doesn't much on USB2 flash drives but the USB3 with their little spring metal contact fingers inside, are much more susceptible to trapping debris like pocket lint. USB2 you can just blow out the connector. USB3, stick a foreign object in trying to clean it out and you might just wreck the connector contacts.
The Adata brand doesn't bother me at all for this price point, but is bound to be as slow as others in the $10 or less category.
