How does a USB drive on Mac OS X get corrupt?
- Improper Usage: This is one of the leading reasons behind USB drive corruption on Mac OS X. Improper ejection of the USB drive from the Mac machine while the files on the USB drive are still being used corrupts the USB drive. The reason behind the corruption is described in details below:
- Formatting: Formatting the USB drive without proper data backup leads to JPEG picture loss from that USB drive. If the formatting process is interrupted due to any reasons like sudden power failure or accidental system shutdown, then it results in USB drive corruption leading to JPEG picture loss. You can use recovery tool to restore pictures from formatted storage device. Follow the link to view details about this.
- Accidental deletion: Important JPEG pictures from the USB drive can be deleted by the user accidentally instead of any other data by using delete option. Since the external drives do not have any specified Trash Bin folder, so the deleted JPEG pictures become inaccessible to the user. For deleted JPEG file recovery, you need a third party tool.
- Disk unrecognized: Sometimes, the external USB drive is not recognized by the operating system making all the JPEG pictures stored in it inaccessible. The error messages that come across is “The Disk is unreadable. Do you want to initialize it now?” while trying to access the file. These corruption issues can occur due to reasons like iNode corruption, file system corruption or invalid system files in the USB drive.
By default most of the operating systems used “write cache” to get better system performance. When you write a file from the hard drive of the computer to the USB drive or vice versa, the operating system waits to actually perform these actions until it has a number of requests to fulfill and it fulfills all the pending requests at a time. When to select the eject button, it tells the OS to flush the cache i.e. all the pending actions have been performed properly. However, when you remove the USB abruptly all these actions cannot be performed in the proper sync which results in file system corruption in the USB drive.
How can you increase the chances of JPEG picture recovery?
Chances of picture recovery from the USB drive can be increased by avoiding the actions which can overwrite the inaccessible pictures on the USB drive.
- You should not save any new data to the corrupted USB drive.
- It is better to use the demo version of any jpg picture recovery software which will give you a chance of evaluating the recovery chances as well as to judge the performance of the software.
- You can buy the full version of the software if you are satisfied with the demo version of that software.
