Flash drives are one of the most comfortable and portable data storage devices. This is why, over the last decade, most of the people started using them in their daily lives.
A flash drive consists of the NAND chip storage, controller, and a plug (connector). Flash drive receives data from a plug, transfers through the controller, and collects it in the NAND chip storage. Unlike hard drives, USB flash drives do not have any moving parts. Thus, flash drives have been less prone to data failure than other data storage systems.
Also, USB drives are widely used to quickly transfer and save files. These memory cards read and write new data very fast. However, all data storage systems experience wear and tear over time or can fail for other reasons we will mention below.
But what should you do if you experienced data loss on your USB flash drive? Luckily, in the 21st century, we can enjoy different options to recover deleted files effectively. Our company offers one of these data recovery methods and repairs all devices safely and securely.
USB Flash Drive Failure Reasons
If you open “This PC” on your computer or laptop and you do not see your flash drive, then it has been damaged. A flash drive can fail for different reasons, but all of them are spread between 2 main categories.
The flashcard can get damaged physically or logically. If your file system is corrupted, it means you faced logical flash drive damage. Another situation is when you accidentally damage the flash drive or spill a glass of water on it. In this case, it means you experienced physical flash drive damage.
Physical Damage
Physical damage occurs when you accidentally drop or somehow hit the flash drive. Actually, this kind of failure happens not only with flash drives but also with hard disk drives and solid-state drives. Unfortunately, no one can be insured from it.
Logical Damage
When logical damage occurs, a user is never aware of it. People can only detect the issue when there is an error occurring. Usually, these kinds of errors occur when you are trying to load the drive and access the files or save something new.

Another case example is when a customer tries to attempt recovery on his own. If you have that kind of idea in mind, you might end up with lost, unrecoverable data. If your flash drive experienced logical damage, you should not try to write new data on it. Formatting, delete or interacting with your damaged files somehow will cause even more damage to your lost files.
Experiencing physical damage with your USB drive, you might have damaged the board, NAND chip storage, or the connector of the drive. Also, you could have experienced electrical damage.
If so, you should not connect this damaged flash drive to any USB port. This way, you can short-circuit the system and burn the chip storage of a drive.
