Flash drives keep important documents close at hand. These small, high-capacity devices fit on keychains or in a pocket. Many are rugged enough to withstand the bumps and bruises suffered by most portable storage drives, but they can – and often do – sustain physical damage and permanent data loss.
Gisele Corinthios hosted a top-rated children’s program on Canada’s TVO in Toronto for 18 years. She now stars in her own YouTube educational variety show The Gisele Mishmash. Her SanDisk flash drive recently fell apart during use, and she wasn’t sure if there was anything to be done to restore access to the broken device.
Picking Up the Pieces
The 128 GB SanDisk flash drive fell apart just as Ms. Corinthios had ejected it and disconnected from the USB port. It contained a mixture of personal and professional documents necessary for her work, so she contacted Secure Data Recovery Services through our local Toronto office to see if the contents could be successfully extracted.
The customer support team arranged for the SanDisk fragments to be shipped to our secure recovery lab. There, our expert technicians conducted a free and comprehensive diagnostic to determine the scope of work required for a successful recovery and provided a no-obligation cost estimate for all recovery operations.
Flash Drive Data Recovery Specialists
After receiving authorization to begin the data recovery process, our engineers isolated the NAND memory chip from the broken drive and successfully cloned the contents using custom adapters and utilities modified specifically for use in this case.
Once the chip’s contents were imaged, our engineers examined the entire file system to identify all available user data. All the contents of the broken flash drive were then exported to a secure storage server pending return shipment to Ms. Corinthios.
