USB / Flash Drive Data Recovery

Solid state storage devices such as memory cards or USB flash drives offer greater reliability than their conventional hard disk counterparts as they contain no moving parts.

Faults are nearly always related to either an onboard component malfunction or poor assembly. Frequently in order to recover the data, it's necessary to fault find by tracing the electronic signals in the devices themselves and replacing / repairing the faulty component, or modifying boards / components to create a workaround on the device.

USB Flash drives are prone to failures of many types leading to increasing instances of loss of valuable data. The easily portable nature of these devices mean they are vulnerable to physical damage from being dropped, crushed or suffering other traumas as a result of everyday life.

Even where they have suffered no such damage they frequently fail due to other causes. The symptoms of such failures range from:

• Being totally unresponsive and not detected by the PC
• Being detected by the PC but with a message reporting "USB Device not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
• Detected by the PC, but with 0 Bytes capacity
• Detected by the PC but with no access to the files stored.

In all these cases Datlabs has developed solutions and applications that can successfully recover the data.
