Defect in less than 3 months

I can confirm with another example of the negative recessions here. Stick came swift as an arrow on 19/04/2014 Amazon and has ceased operations on 07.04.2014. The stick was rarely used. Mainly exchange large files between my Mac and my office PC. Overall, certainly not more than 10 times plugged.

-> The stick thus held in this usage scenario less than 3 months. Back ends after 30 days of course no longer there. Only one RMA through the SanDisk Support.

Short description of error: When plugging in the USB 3.0 port on my Mac as well where my two Windows PCs the blue light comes on briefly, then disappears again. The stick appears neither in the Disk Management of PCs still in Disk Utility on your Mac.
What was very noticeable is that the stick in this defective condition very warm (some would say hot) is. I noticed that after a few times try. Otherwise I would have canceled the experiments much earlier. So a USB port in the MacBook is still a bit more expensive than a USB stick and can be replaced not so simple.

Conclusion: The stick is really very fast, but the quality I am far from convinced. A star there because of the speed. More star there not because you can not rely on the stick. Würd and I will not recommend.
