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.

So impressed with the services from Capital Data Recovery. Staff was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They kept me informed on progress, explained the issue so I could easily understand and provided 100% recovery. I could not be more grateful to them for saving years of pictures and videos of family memories!

    Recently, the battery in my iPad Air (13-inch, M3) failed. Unfortunately, Apple no longer replaces batteries in newer iPads and does not offer data recovery, which meant I was at risk of losing all of … More my photos, files, and important school notes from the past year. The iPad was only purchased in August 2025, and I had not recently backed everything up to iCloud.
    I brought my iPad to Levon at Capital Data Recovery, and I’m incredibly happy with the results. He was able to recover all of my files, notes, and photos. Throughout the entire process, he communicated everything very clearly, was incredibly responsive, and he and his colleagues worked as quickly as they could to recover my data.
    I’m extremely grateful for their help and would highly recommend Capital Data Recovery to anyone who needs data recovered, even from a newer device. They did an excellent job!

    As a non-enterprise customer, Capital Data Recovery helped me figure out the best solution to my data recovery. Even though in the end, it didn't involve utilizing their service, they were honest … More about what they could do for me and that allowed me to make the most informed decisions with my hardware and data.
    They were very respectful and courteous as well.

    Levon is very credible, came in for an appointment about SD card not being recognized. in my case he identified it as an electrical problem and gave me a full plan of what to do in the future to ensure … More my data won’t get corrupted like this again. he was realistic, didn’t even want to charge me the $100 to run my sd card, given all the information i told him it is almost certainly not recoverable (would take months and a lot of $$$) and he was transparent with that. would recommend, trust this guy with any of my data issues! learned a lot from one conversation
