Memory Card / Picture Issues


Recommended Posts

I think I had the same thing happen to mine once. But it was my own fault, I grabbed it out of the computer without properly unmounting it. Apparently it had not written everything to it yet which resulted in a chunk of broken photos. There's plenty of recovery software available out there and using that I got a couple of them back. But not all of them since they were corrupt, not deleted. You cannot fix corrupted files.

Unfortunately 'solid state' memory is a little more fragile than our standard hard disc technology and this can result in anguish when the inevitable happens!

Unlike data statically stored at specific locations on a hard drive platter data is constantly moved around an SD card to ensure that no individual memory locations are physically worn out.

As previously suggested take a look on the Internet for data retrieval tools and you may be lucky - good luck!

it's a 64gb

 

Yeah, that'll take some time to work through. I remember with my 16GB card it took about 40-50 minutes or so (though I used different software).

Whether it's an sd-card, ssd or hdd doesn't really matter in this case. Yes, sectors are used differently in ssd but not in a way that makes them more 'fragile'. Nor is the data constantly moved around. When it's stored, it's stored. Even though it's not in order like the hdd does.
