Flash-based digital media recovery

flash media data recoveryWhether you accidentally formatted or deleted images or any other data from your flash media device or in case of a physical or electrical failure where your flash media is not being recognized by your camera, phone or computer, we can help you get your data back.

At Capital Data Recovery we have successfully recovered data from flash, USB, SD, CF cards of different brands, to name a few: Samsung, Kingston, Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend, Verbatim, and other "no-name" brands.

 

In case of an accidental file deletion or media formatting, it is important to disconnect it immediately from a computer or your camera. This will avoid any data overwriting process and help us save your important files.

If your USB drive or SD, MicroSD of CF card is no longer being identified by a camera (card error message) or a computer, it is important to immediately remove it and call us for help.

Most digital media failures occur due to memory chip degradation or controller failure. Connecting it back to your computer may damage it further. If data is critical, contact our support team for immediate help.

    Excellent customer service. I had mistakenly formatted 2 SD cards with very important photos and Capital Data Recovery was able to retrieve the files and downloaded the data to external hard drive and … More explained and showed me the images after they were loaded on my external hard drive. Levon also was able to complete the services in less than 24 hours. 100% satisfied with results, service and fees to have data retrieved. A great result to what could have been a loss of four years of photos from full format camera. I was mistaken believing that the regular backup that was being completed was being saved in my PC when in fact it was being saved after editing in the original SD cards.
