A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

What are the chances a corrupted memory card corrupts again? (alien.top)

Hey I have a sandisk 512gb card that I’m currently running through disk drill to recover what was on it. But I was wondering if anyone has info on, once I format it to reuse, if the chances of corruption rise because of what happened prior. If anyone has any info or suggestions that would be great. Thanks!!

I can't remember a time I had corrupted files and it was the card itself. All the last few times have actually been the reader.

Try getting a new reader always as the first step.

If it was the card, I would never use it again. A card is like $20. A group of photos is for me like over a thousand.

My favorite recovery tool is ZAR.

Google has ruined search so almost any search for memory card recovery is 100% scamware even the free tools. Which are free only to the point where they find your images and then expect payment to actually recovery anything.

Damn yeah. I’ll look into that
