Usb drives are great little things, tiny little portable hard drives that can fit in your pocket and can travel around with you where ever you go! But the down side to that is that they can become damaged really easily, they can either get bent or end up having a wash in the washing machine or even dropped into a fire, there are just so many ways that your little usb drive can come to the end of its life it is quite saddening.

But the worse situation is when you have damaged your usb pen and there where important files or photos on there that you really can not do without, that is when you need some sort of usb data recovery so that you can get your files or photos back again.

In this hub i will go over all the different usb data recovery methods that you can use to try and recover those important lost files.and at the end there will also be advice on how to prevent your usb drive from getting damaged to begin with.

The easiest way to try and recover those important files is with usb data recover software.This software does come at a price but thankfully they are not usually very expensive at all, anywhere from $30-$100.

Even though the software is good there are going to be some files that it will not be able to recover,and usually they will be the files that you most need! in a case like this then i would suggest you try a usb data recovery service which i will explain more about further below.

As well as paid for usb flash data recovery software there are also freeware ones or trial versions of some of the more popular paid for versions. Whether these are just as good as the paid ones is anyones guess, but i think it all comes down to if they can recover your lost files or photos or not. obviously the one that recovers your data is the best one at the time! But there is also the saying that you get what you pay for and to be honest if the data is important then it might be best to skip the free ones and go straight to the paid for usb data recover software.

if you have tried the data recovery software and you can not restore your data yourself, then you will want to take your usb drive to a data recovery service. usb data recovery services can be expensive, but if the information you are trying to recover is very important to you then using one of these services may be your only hope of getting those important files back.

I personally would only use one of these services if i had tried every other available way to recover the files myself and come up short.

There are many ways in which your usb flash drive can become damaged or unusuable.the most common ways are dropping it or leaving it in your jeans pocket and letting it go into your washing machine! which i have done but luckily it did not do any damage.you could accidently bend it so that you can not stick it in your usb drive,or you could have had a virus on your computer that has rendered your usb drive totally useless.

But all those things and more are preventable,if you have data on your usb drive that you think is very important then the best thing to do when you are not using it is to put it away in a drawer or cupboard,but make sure that it is not in a junk drawer because the chances are you will not be able to find it when you want to use it!

Just be careful what you do with your usb pen when you have finished using it,do not just put it in your pocket because you will most likely forget that it is in their and all sorts of disastrous things can happen to it.
