5 bux says it will still work and have the data on it

I'll take that bet. I know someone that nuked their laptop because their IT department wouldn't replace it. 2 or 3 seconds turned it into a paper weight.

Have the Ori destroy it.

Question is, does it need to be working after you sell it?

Short of destroying a flash drive they will be able to get data off if it they really want to.

Who puts important personal data on a flash drive in the first place?

Thats the worst place to keep it.

Or are you just really paranoid?
