Have a PNY 32gb flash drive used 2-3 dozen times and has failed. Should this item be destroyed like a failed hd? Is the media accessible after failure?
 
Solution
Depends on what you had on this drive. If all it was used for was Windows setup, I would not bother. But if it kept your financial documents, or your first-born videos, I'd rather smash it, or put it to "Will it blend" test ;)
