USB Flash Drive Recovery
Flash drives are convenient, portable, and practically everywhere – but their reliability is often overestimated. A broken USB connector, controller failure, or sudden access loss are issues we see every day. We recover data from flash drives of all types and brands, including devices with unusual failures or damaged internal logic. Our work is precise and careful, ensuring no further damage and a safe return of your files.

Flash Drive Failures and Recovery
Flash drives are among the most widely used portable storage devices in both personal and professional environments. Compact, affordable, and easy to use, they’re ideal for everything from quick file transfers to long-term storage of documents, images, or confidential business assets. But their convenience comes at a cost: a small physical footprint often means greater vulnerability. A single electrical issue or physical mishap can instantly render a flash drive unreadable.
Common Flash Drive Failures
Flash drives fail for both physical and logical reasons. On the physical side, broken USB connectors, damaged circuit boards, or failed memory chips are common – especially when drives are plugged in and accidentally bumped. Internal damage can also result from overheating, static discharge, or exposure to moisture.
Logical problems can be just as serious. Improper ejection, accidental formatting, corrupted file systems, malware infections, and firmware glitches can all lead to partial or total data inaccessibility. In some cases, the device still mounts, but appears empty or contains broken directory structures. Continuing to use the drive after failure may worsen the situation or overwrite recoverable data.
How We Recover Data
We begin every case with a comprehensive evaluation of the device’s physical condition and logical structure. For hardware-related failures, we perform precision micro-soldering, chip-level repairs, and if necessary, direct memory chip extraction in a clean lab environment. Our equipment is built to work with flash memory safely, without further degrading the device.
For logical damage, we employ proprietary and commercial recovery tools capable of reconstructing lost partition tables, file system metadata, and user files – even on drives with encrypted volumes or custom formatting. We’re experienced with all major file systems used on USB drives, including FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, and APFS.
Our lab supports all major flash drive brands, including SanDisk, Kingston, PNY, Corsair, Verbatim, Lexar, and generic models. Whether your device uses USB-A, USB-C, or dual-interface designs, we can handle the recovery with precision and care.
Privacy-First Data Handling
Security and discretion are central to every case we handle. All recoveries are performed entirely in-house – no subcontractors, no data sharing. Your information remains private throughout the entire process. We store recovered files temporarily on secure, isolated systems and deliver them via encrypted storage or password-protected links. After confirmation of delivery, all data is securely deleted from our systems.
When to Get Help
If your flash drive becomes unresponsive, displays missing or distorted files, or starts behaving abnormally, disconnect it immediately. Repeated attempts to access the data may reduce the chances of a successful recovery. Reach out to our team for a clear, no-obligation assessment and recovery plan.
We serve clients across the U.S. with fast turnaround times, high recovery success rates, and a transparent, professional approach. Flash drive failure doesn’t mean your data is gone forever. Let us help you bring it back – safely, securely, and efficiently.

USB Flash Drive Recovery: FAQ
Can I recover data after formatting a flash drive?
Yes, especially if a quick format was performed. However, completely formatting or writing new data over the top can significantly reduce the chances of successful recovery.
Why is my flash drive not showing up on my computer and can I recover my data?
If your flash drive is not recognized, it may be due to a damaged controller, connector or file system. In most cases, the data can be recovered, especially if you contact specialists who can remove the memory chip and read the data directly.
How much does it cost to recover data from a flash drive?
The price may vary depending on the complexity of the damage and the condition of the device. On average, USB flash drive data recovery costs from $200 to $700. The exact cost is determined after diagnostics, which will show how deeply the data or the flash drive itself is damaged.
How long do deleted files remain recoverable on a flash drive?
Deleted files remain on the flash drive until their place is occupied by new information. Therefore, the fewer write operations are performed after deletion, the higher the chance of successful data recovery.
