Just curious to know why you would need to know these 2 things?

If it has been used with ReadyBoost, its life will have been significantly reduced due to the frequent read/write cycles. And Some file types have been known to do some *things* to the pendrive. OK, the later may not be as important, but if its been abused with ReadyBoost, I would say that after 9 months, only 10% of its life will be left now.

And regular formatting, creating and deleting then reformatting partitions in the pendrive is another thing to watch out for. This too ruins the pendrive.

Please don't think I ask questions without reason.

OK, your pendrive is worth around Rs. 375-400 in market(brand new).
So you might want to lower the price a bit. It looks quite fine to me if you are not lying.

then ask mods to lock this thread(to prevent BatistaBomb from replying two years later )
And goodluck with the new drive. Just ask here to get help buying. Never trust iBall. Transcend, Kingston, Crossair, etc are the only ones worth looking at8)
