The thumb drive used to work just fine for over three years of moderate use and now it has started to show these worrying symptoms as follows:
Following is the pic of the transcend flash drive I'm referring to in case anyone wonders which model, I hope it's not beyond recognition yet:
It takes forever for every system to detect the flash drive(H
while slowing the system down at the same time 
whenever it seems like it has settled down and stable, it would go back through the long detection process all over again when I try to open the flash drive (drive (H) to access the files stored in it.
Eventually it would just lead to some minor to major system lock-ups/freezes that could either require you to force-pull the flash drive off your system or press the physical reset button.
What concerns me most here is the fact that there are some very important family photos stored in it and I really can't afford to lose them just like that and since I've been out of stable work for to long already, paying for Data Recovery Services isn't really an option for me right now, yes it's that sad
I hope somebody would help me out with this, thank you so much in advance!
