The popularity of USB Flash Drives has grown rapidly over the last decade. And it's no wonder: They're small enough to fit in your pocket, universally accessible from any computer, can store an incredible amount of digital files, and they're relatively cheap.

Unfortunately, all four of these benefits are also the main contributors to flash drive failure and data loss.
  • Storing a flash drive—or any type of electronic device—in your pocked makes it susceptible to moisture and corrosion, electro-static discharge and physical damage.
  • Using a flash drive in multiple computers exposes it to problems such as virus attack, power surges, data corruption and connector damage due to impact.
  • Higher capacity NAND memory chips and multi-chip PCB configuration can increase the likelihood of failure. Plus, having more storage capacity means we likely have more important documents on the flash drive to lose.
  • As market forces and cheap overseas labor push flash drive prices down, manufacturers often sacrifice quality to compete. This leads to increased failure rates even among the major brands.

These factors combined with the increasing popularity of flash drives have led to a pandemic of flash drive data loss. While flash drives are intended for data transfer, most of us use them for storage, and rarely back them up.

Google search statistics reveal that the frequency of searches like "flash drive recovery" and "broken flash drive" are nearly doubling every year yet few data recovery companies have the equipment, knowledge and experience to recover the data.

Prices for flash drive data recovery services at a typical data recovery lab can reach into the thousands and it could take weeks or even months to get your files back. A few garage entrepreneurs have started small-scale data recovery operations that focus recovering files from USB flash drives and camera memory cards. But a little online research often reveals hordes of less than satisfied clients complaining about poor service quality, dishonest pricing, lost drives, etc.
