    How can I check how old is my pen drive? I have recently purchased a new pen drive- Kingston DataTraveler. I had not used it at all. One of my friend took it from me and has returned it to me after a week. I doubt that he has changed it with some old one as mine was brand new. Can I check how old is the pen drive? Whether it was used for long time etc? There are no files existing on the present pen drive in my possession.

    Hi

    Sadly you cannot as far as I know, you could look for signs of wear and tear of the pens case, look at the metal connector or excessive scratching, but if they had yours for a week then the metal wnd could get very scratched.

    Check any serial number or code on the drive against the codes on the original packaging (if you still have it) as it coukd link to a particular model version eg V3, V4 etc
