Hello all! New to the game, but found this site when I was searching for things to do with a big collection of old flash drives. I've tried reading through old posts, but still have two main questions.

1) I stripped all the flash drives from their plastic casing, but will I also need to pull off the metal USB head?

2) From what I was reading, I assume they fall under the Peripheral High Grade category?

Thanks!

You do not need to remove the remaining metal around the USB port. Need to remove any heat sinks if there are any. Peripheral high grade seems to be the consensus.
IF you have a massive amount you might message Chris to see if there is a better rate.
