Physical damage is one of the common causes. Things like liquid can damage your drive and make it unreadable.

There are generally two options, the first is that the place where the flash drive is connected has been damaged, the second is that it is infected with a virus, these are generally two options that cause the flash drive to be ruined.
A flash drive can become completely unreadable on a computer for a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is physical damage such as dropping or bending it while it is plugged in. Also, water or moisture can cause a short circuit inside the device. Removing it without safely ejecting it from the computer can corrupt the file system. To prevent this damage, it is important to always eject the flash drive safely, avoid using it in extreme heat or humidity, and ensure that it is not overused by frequently erasing and writing. Backing up important data is also a good way to protect yourself from data loss.
