Cracking open a flash drive

2 GB USB flash drive

Before I crack it open, I wanted to examine it more closely.

Keyring

Pulling the keyring off was a piece of cake.

Needlenose pliers

With needle nosepliers I was able to pull off the plastic piece.

Needle nosepliers continued

I carefully opened up the case that revealed the "innards" of my USB flash key.

The complete picture

It really is that small

It really is that small

It still works

I plugged in my USB flash key and it works like a charm.

My computer still recognized the flash drive

Copying files

In this test, I copied over some files to verify it is still working. Now I have to put it back together but I have to be honest, I really like the small size.
