SAMSUNG BAR Plus 3.1 USB Flash Drive, 128GB, 400MB/s, Rugged Metal Casing, Storage Expansion for Photos, Videos, Music, Files, MUF-128BE4/AM, Titan Grey

I just recently had a SanDisk USB drive fail due to heat. I caught the problem before it completely failed. While I was waiting for a new drive to arrive, I used an extension cable and placed the SanDisk drive on a cool surface. That seemed to help. I went with a new Samsung Bar Plus drive which was advertised as being temperature proof and waterproof. This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPG9YX9 Good luck.
