Let’s find out the reasons which are highly responsible for corruption:

Computer virus & bugs

Computer virus and bugs are always very dangerous for your computer system as well as the data and information stored on it. It not only affects the files but also puts your storage device, be it internal or external, at high risk. Virus and bugs can attack your removable storage device if you insert it into your system. It may receive viruses and bugs from the system if you don’t scan with the help of an Antivirus program. Whenever you insert any external storage media to your computer system, always scan it for viruses before you can open it.

Abruptly system shutdown

If you’re working on your computer system, make sure you turn it off properly. Sometimes abruptly system shutdown due to sudden power failure can cause severe damage to the storage media. It may cause inaccessibility, or sometimes permanent data loss. If a removable media is inserted into your system and your system shutdown shuts down due to sudden power outage or any other reason, the media may become corrupt or inaccessible, and you may lose your data permanently.

Forcefully ejecting the media

This is one of the major causes of corruption in removable storage media. While removing the media from your system, if you don’t eject it properly, it may cause severe problems like corruption or data loss. Make sure you eject the removable storage media properly before removing it from your system. Also, never turn off your computer system without removing the external storage media.

Overheating 

Overheating issue is very harmful to any storage media device, be it internal or external. If the cooling system of your computer is not working properly, it’ll result in overheating and would damage the integral parts of your computer system. If your system into which the removable media is inserted, is suffering from overheating, it can damage the storage media for sure. Make your system is getting enough ventilation, and the CPU fans are nicely working.

Physical damage

Physical damage is extremely harmful to your storage device, especially if it’s a removable media. Mechanical failure is a common type of physical damage. It takes place due to bumping, jarring, or dropping the removable media, be it a USB drive or an external hard disk.

Aforementioned are the most common reasons which can make your removable storage media corrupt and result in permanent data loss. Another common reason for data loss is accidental deletion which frequently occurs in our day-to-day life. There are two types of accidental deletion: temporary delete and permanent delete. If you’re using temporary deletion, you can restore your deleted files and data from the Recycle bin with ease. But if you’re using permanent deletion with the help of Shift + Delete + Enter keys, you can’t restore your deleted data. In such situation, you need to perform removable media data recovery, whether by any manual approach or with the help of a professional tool.

Backup File – Restore Your Deleted Data 

At the time of data loss due to accidental deletion or corruption, a backup file can definitely save your life. How? Data loss is always unaffordable for computer users. But if you take backup of your computer data regularly, you have no need to worry about anything. A backup file contains duplicate copies of your original data which you can restore at any time whenever needed. A valid backup file actually plays the role of life-saver at the time of data loss. But make sure the backup file is valid, i.e. not corrupt because if you’re having a corrupt backup file, you can’t restore anything from it. Also, don’t forget to update your backup file regularly in order to recover maximum possible data from it.
