Did you know that usb flash drives have a shelf life? The data on the chip starts to become degraded after so many read/write cycles. The average life-span of a USB or SSD is about 5-6 years. This chip must be removed in most cases, decoded with special equipment which could take some time depending on the controller encryption. A common symptom  occurs when windows will ask if you want to format the drive and will no longer allow you to access the data. DO NOT format the drive. Physical damage of the usb stick is very common, as well. If the USB connector has broken off, the data may still recoverable.
