As is, what category would these thumb drives fall into? Should I cut off the end with the gold pins and put it in connector ends? The pictures attached are of the front and back of the boards. Thanks for any help.

I usually throw stuff similar to that in telecom and hope for telecom low over peripheral high. With that said I ship larger pallets I try and I rarely have any telecom low on the final report so I have no clue really if they go telecom high or peripheral high. Ill also add I sell midgrade and peripheral low boards locally so I don't ship any of that either.

Peri high, Low tel for sure, but if I'm not mistaken, they can go as CD-Rom, Low SATA, High tel. Prob depends on removing the usb, size of the stick, # on board rams and what not.
