In reply to Alan.

SanDisk’s spec summary on their website says max write power is 5.0W (vs. 8), or 1A at 5V — still maybe a bit high. Typical “active” is spec’ed at 0.22W.

In reply to Alan. And? Why would you expect otherwise.

Look at the current this thing draws: 1.6A at 5V would require two USB 3 ports or three USB 2 ports to power it in a portable case. It is only suitable for use in cases with external power or inside a computer.

In reply to Cypherdude. Thank you for pointing this out. The award seems to have vanished but will be back soonest.
