The abbreviation USB for Universal Serial Bus stands for a powerful interface technology for connecting devices to a computer. Therefore USB sticks can be used flexibly and are easily mobile. When it comes to data transfer, there is a wide range of specifications for storage media with USB. While the variants USB 1.0, USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. are hardly up to date, newer standards transfer much more data. The USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 interfaces achieve data rates of 5, 10 and 20 GBit/s respectively. The latest USB 4 standard aims for 40 GBit/s. Sticks are also available for relatively large amounts of storage (although not comparable to hard drives). Because of the numerous advantages, mass storage devices with USB are often used, even in business. Therefore, data recovery is an important option. This is because USB sticks do not always store data reliably. Their write cycles are limited and components wear out. Thus, the loss of data on the stick can occur suddenly and unexpectedly. For such a case, professional data recovery USB is the ideal solution.
