Can you recover files from a corrupted usb? SanDisk Ultra flash drive USB Flash

Hi everyone,

I’m having trouble with my SanDisk 512GB Ultra USB 3.0 flash drive. It recently became unreadable, and now no matter which computer or USB port I use, it either isn’t detected properly or appears as an unformatted device.

I’m using a Windows 11 system, and while the drive doesn’t show up with a letter in File Explorer, it does appear in Disk Management—but only as unallocated space. I had some really important files on it that I need to recover.

Has anyone experienced this before and successfully recovered their data from a similar situation?
