I started using Tails and was wondering if anyone can recommend a USB stick that would be best for disposing of i guess (easy to take apart....err whatever)
-
personally i'd rather have one more durable - they get right hot during use
Newegg.com has some Kingston USB 2.0 drives, aluminum for $8 shipped that are awfully small (less than 1/2" W x 1.5" L x 1/8" thick. Think the size of a house key without the head and will fit on a key chain or a wire if you want to slip it in the wall - or on a nail hidden from view but handy
Patriot (iirc newegg has them as well), also aluminum, but slightly wider and a lot shorter (about 7/8" L) - this one would be easy to swallow
the aluminum works well to transfer heat - both are at the border line in terms comfort threshold for holding when you first pull em out - that hot. i can't imagine how hot the ones encased in plastic must get
if you kept a hammer handy, you could flatten it pretty easily though, but can't tell you if that would make the data unretrieveable
fwiw
