I own various X8 and they run a bit too hot for my taste, but other than that, they are spectacularly fast. "Aging" seems a bit unfair: they are plenty good.
Also, I wish that temperature could be a factor in the analysis/review. I have some thumb drives (Sandisk) that are scorching under use. Always have been, to the point that I fear they would damage the USB port they are plugged in.
I am all for higher speed, but if somebody makes a drive a bit slower, but that runs cool (and therefore with consistent performance) I would consider it over the fastest drives. Maybe it's just me.
