I have the flash drive pictured in the first image of Part 1, and I'd say it, almost self-destructs on its own purely from overheating. If you plug it in or read it, it gets hot, and if you write to it it gets rapidly hotter. I've never tried writing gigabytes, but some people online say it gets so hot the drive slows down and eventually starts throwing errors instead of writing data, until it gets a chance to cool down.
