3:44Now PlayingThumb drives are super convenient for saving old family photos or personal financial records, but what happens to all that data when you get rid of the drive? Even if you delete the information contained on the tiny device, is it ever really gone? Inside Edition went on eBay and purchased 41 used thumb drives for just $50.
