The new cards are part of Lexar's "Armor" lineup, which already includes ruggedized portable SSDs and other gear designed to withstand harsh conditions. The two new stainless...
Stainless is extra bad at conducting heat considering it’s a metal, but it’s still way better than plastic. I hope they make an aluminum version at some point.

Yes, stainless is “bad”, compared to other metals. But like you also mentioned, it’s loads better than plastic.
I’d doubt they make an aluminum one, it’s probably not worth the tooling.
When dealing with only 100-200mW, even a small change in thermal conductivity will make a big difference.
Seriously, my plastic cookware is terrible
But there’s no better way to make a really traditional dioxin omelette.
One day the card will be conductive enough for us to complain it’s hot when we take it out
Elemental silver SD card casing for maximum thermal transfer, when???
When somebody finds a better source of silver than the mines on Earth and is able to increase silver supply by several orders of magnitude.
How strong is aluminium compared to steel again? Oh right, its butter…
