Data Recovery from Memory Cards

There is a growing number of removable digital memory card formats (smart media, SD cards, SDHC memory, xD picture cards, compact flash memory and MMC cards) and microdrives on the market, which vary in size and shape. At the time of writing, memory cards of up to 64 GB are readily available, and at low cost.

Memory cards are increasingly popular as they are used in digital cameras, phones, mobile computers, PDAs, MP3 and MP4 devices. They are also regularly used as temporary backup solution and for data transfer between computers. The prices have come down and their storage capacities have grown.

USB Flash Drive Recovery

USB flash drives are a very popular and convenient way of transporting data. They are now very cheap and capacity is increasing all the time. They have replaced floppy disks and are more convenient than CDs and DVDs as it is quicker and easier to copy data. They don't suffer from damage by scratches, dust, greasy fingers and can even survive being dropped, etc.

USB flash drives are much more tolerant of abuse than mechanical drives, but can still be damaged or have data corrupted by severe physical impacts. Also improperly wired USB ports can also destroy the circuitry of a flash drive, a danger in home-built desktop PCs.

USB flash drives have been know to still work after going through a washing machine. If this happens to your memory stick leave it to dry completely before trying to use it.

Unfortunately flash drives can sustain only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. Good flash drives will support several hundred thousand cycles, although write operations will gradually slow as the device ages. This should be a consideration when using a flash drive over a period of time to store critical data.

We can recover data from all types and makes of USB flash drives and memory sticks.
