Flash Drive - dead ?
I have one of the keyring sized Flash Drives / Thumb drives / USB storage device, whatever today's popular name is, that will no longer open in any USB port on any computer.
It has been on my keyring for about a year, with a cover, but now appears useless. Fortunately I'd also put the data on another one that I keep at home and not on my computer ( no, not porn but passwords etc - I know, I know, but that's a separate issue ) but ..... when is this going to happen again, and why, and is there any recovery technique ?
