Destroying a Flash USB Drive! (UPDATED)

Every Flash Drive has a Estimated Number of Read/Writes before it dies, and that is usually noted on the pack, Our friends at Dangerous Prototypes have designed a flash Destroyer which will write and verify a piece of flash memory until there is an error. sounds interesting right? :)








They have created a live webstream of a flash memory under destruction, at the time of writing this article the flash drive passed 4.1 Million! Bellow you can watch the live stream
