Recover Files from Old USB Drives
Dead Drive, Lost Files. We Find Them.
Old USB and flash drives from the 2000s and 2010s hold photos, videos, and documents you've likely forgotten about. We recover files from drives that won't mount, appear corrupted, or have been partially formatted.
How It Works — Done in 3 Simple Steps.

Gather Your USB drives
Collect the usb drives you want digitized. Don't worry about condition — we handle items in any state.

Mail Them to Us
Pack your items in your own box. Purchase Roundtrip Shipping for a prepaid inbound label, or arrange your own shipping.

Receive Your Digital Memories
We digitize everything and notify you by email when your files are ready. Your originals are shipped back to you.
Processing typically takes 2–3 weeks from when we receive your order.
Professional USB Drive Recovery.
USB flash drives use NAND flash memory with a limited number of write cycles. Drives from the early 2000s are well past their rated endurance — but that doesn't mean the data is gone. It often means the controller chip has failed while the underlying flash cells still hold your files.
Our professional recovery tools can bypass the failed controller and read the NAND flash directly, extracting your files even when the drive is completely unrecognized by standard computers. We support FAT, exFAT, NTFS, HFS+, and Linux filesystems.

Helen T.
A USB drive from 2009 with all our honeymoon photos — it hadn't worked in years. Capture got everything off it. Couldn't believe it, thought they were gone forever.
George P.
Sent in a box of about 15 old flash drives from the 2000s and 2010s. Got back thousands of files across all of them. The turnaround was fast too.
Susan L.
One of my drives had corrupted files but they recovered the vast majority. The files came back organized just like I had them originally. Very professional.
Mark D.
My daughter's first steps were on a USB drive that stopped working. Capture got the video back. I can't put a price on that. Amazing company.

What does Capture do with USB flash drives?
Capture images each of your USB flash drives, extracts photos and videos, converts video to MP4 (H.264) where needed and organizes everything in your MemoryCloud library. The original device is returned with its contents untouched.
Can Capture recover data from failing USB flash drives?
Capture reads each device once into a disk image and works from the image, which gives the best chance with aging flash memory. Devices that cannot be read at all are returned and are not charged.
