    Looks like its broken. Is it Flash Drive or hard drive.

    USB Drive is meaningless. Lots of things connect via USB.

    Is it a good known make? You might be able to return it. Assuming you've nothing sensitive on it. I don't find Flash drives that reliable or quick. I switched to External SSDs like a SanDisk. Etc.

    My USB Sandisk Ultra 3.0 128gb stopped being recognised by several computers. It has some data on it that I would rather not lose. I suspect it happened because I ejected the drive before saving work.

    How do I get access to the data on it?

    These are the two messages that appear

    and

    This is a different issue to the OP - you should probably start your own thread.
    If you haven't already clicked Format disk - don't!

    There's a tool called Photorec which is likely to be helpful depending on what kind of files your lost data is saved as.
