Yeah, but these days, I'd go with the largest flash drive I could
afford. USB2 or otherwise. I don't believe you can recover data from
these once you actually overwrite the bits (anyone out there know any
different?).
They're either 1 or 0, there's no extra ferrite molecules to the left or
the right of the track to pick up a signal from ;-) As always encrypt
the data you write to the device.
I wouldn't overwrite flash repeatedly (i.e. the Guttman method of 35
writes) though, there's a limit on the number of writes, after which it
goes bad. I'd overwrite it once with random data.
