With Free USB Flash Drive Data Recovery, you can now get fast and free help finding lost files on any external hard drive or USB flash drive.

If you're like many people, you probably have a few external hard drives laying around your house. You might use those drives to free up some space on your hard drive to help your computer run faster. Others use those drives to store movies or TV shows they want to watch, photos of past vacations, and documents they need for work. When you realize that you lost a file that you desperately need, you can use this handy tool to find those files quickly.

One of the best things about Free USB Flash Drive Data Recovery is that it doesn't require any special tools or hardware. When you launch the program and plug in your flash drive, it will automatically identify that drive. It then lets you know the total amount of space available on that drive and the amount of space you used. After selecting the scan icon, the program will quickly scan that drive and show you a complete list of all files found. Depending on the amount of files, a simple scan can take a significant amount of time.

You can then use the search box at the top of the screen to search for specific files. Simply enter the title, click enter, and wait for the results. There is also a deep scan option available, but running a deep scan will take even longer. When you find your missing file, use the preview button to get a quick look at that file. This lets you see if it is the missing file or if you need to keep searching. Free USB Flash Drive Data Recovery will actually scan for more than 1,000 different types of files and formats.

While you can download a free version of Free USB Flash Drive Data Recovery, the free version comes loaded with a lot of miscellaneous files and programs. It will keep asking if you want to upgrade to the free version and may limit the number of searches you can perform. After seeing how Free USB Flash Drive Data Recovery works for yourself though, you'll want to buy the full product to perform searches later.

Pros:

  • Plug and use design lets the program automatically identify your hard drive
  • Can search more than 1,000 different file formats
  • Creates a preview of each file you want to look at
  • Works with most flash drive brands
  • Lets you search for pictures, music, video, and standard documents

Cons:

  • Scans of larger files can take longer
  • Deep scans can take as long as an hour or more
  • You must do a full scan before searching for a specific file
  • It takes a few minutes for the program to generate a preview file
