Your USB device seems to have some issues.
Your USB device seems to have some issues.
You’re trying to extract files from a USB drive without a proper case, and you’re looking for a method beyond just using a new enclosure. Consider using tools like a USB-to-SSD adapter or a data recovery software to access and transfer the files safely.
You need to figure out how to stabilize it in the proper spot using paper or something similar. Alternatively, if you have soldering abilities and a dead USB cable (or you can purchase one), you can connect the right leads to create a new port on the drive. The simpler method is likely the better choice, even if you're not very skilled at soldering.
