Windows Data recovery software to recover Pen Drive data

A USB flash drive consists of flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 or 2.0 interface. This rewritable and removable drive is much smaller than a floppy disk, and are lesser than 30 g (1 oz) in weight. The storage capacity of this drive in the year 2009 can be as large as 256 GB. In some flash drives 1 million write or erase cycles are possible and also have a 10-year data retention cycle.

Let me little more explaining :

Flash memory is a non-volatile computer storage which means that the data can be electrically erased and restored. This technology is also used in memory cards for general storage and transfer of data between computers and other digital devices. It is a specific type of EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) that is erased and programmed in large blocks; in early flash the entire chip had to be erased at once.

Now a days these drives are being used on a very large scale to transfer data between digital devices. But the corruption of these Flash Drives can also lead to a data loss situation. In these situations one has to move towards a data recovery software to recover the lost data. Although there are an ample os software available for data recovery solution but the user must go for the best.

What is my experience?
