The use of flash drives and USB drives has increased dramatically over the years, and many people who use laptops and other mobile devices use them to store their day-to-day data. When these drives are damaged or fail, many people mistakenly believe they cannot be repaired. Contrary to popular belief, damaged flash drive data and USB drive data can be recovered!
