Will FBI be able to read data from a flash chip that has been broken in half?

Question

USB flash drives

There is a monolithic flash drive consisting of one chip.

If I break it in half, will anyone in the world be able to find out what was even partially there (rectal cryptanalysis does not count)?

Answer 1

Can. Because the Flash crystal itself has dimensions of several square millimeters, which is significantly smaller than the size of the device. And breaking in half will surely leave not only the crystal, but also its "case" (if it was) intact. Further - a matter of technique and stuffed hands.

Answer 2

he can, put the needles under his nails, and the owner of the flash drive will write everything on paper, including the checksums of the files

Answer 3

Will be able. So that they cannot, first you need to format this flash drive using the Gutmann method of 52 repetitions and overwriting the free space. Then this flash drive must be demagnetized using an electromagnet. And only then to destroy mechanically

Answer 4

if you really want it, then yes, but only partially.
