Free USB Flash Drive Data Recovery is a program that helps users to recover the files they may have lost on a corrupted flash or portable drive.

If you've ever been the victim of drive corruption, you know how frustrating it can be to lose your files. This is where this software steps in to help - giving you back the vast majority of your files with very little effort on your part. The software is easy to use, and there aren't any gimmicks that make you jump through hoops. It works with almost all types of portable drives, giving you a good chance to recover files that you may have thought long since lost.

Nothing's perfect, of course, and there are a few catches with this software. If you're going after Mac files, you'll need to use a separate software package. This can be difficult for those who use multiple formats, but it's not a huge problem for the average user. The bigger problem comes with the trial and paid versions. You can use a trial version of the software to recover about two hundred megabytes of data - not a lot, especially in an era of cheap 32GB portable drives. If you want to recover more, you're going to have to pay up and get the full version.

This software recovery software is great for those who need to recover corrupted data from portable drives. It can get expensive if you need to do it often, though, and you'll need separate software to recover any Mac files you may have. If you are just looking to recover PC data, though, this program will do all you need.
