I’ve been looking into getting a small 2GB flash drive to keep in my keychain so I’ll have certain files with me all the time. Plus, memory sticks are cool. Now, I carry my keys on my beltloop so that they hang right over the pocket in which I carry my wallet. Normally this wouldn’t be a concern, except that my wallet has a magnetic money clip, and I know that magnets can wreak havoc on harddrives.
My brother told me that the magnet in my wallet is proably not strong enough to do any damage, and I believe him. I just thought I’d check in here to see if anyone knows more about hardward than he.
So am I worrying for nothing? Should I just go ahead and get it and not worry about it?
