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!!

And by the reader you mean what I use to get the photos from my card(in this case to my phone with the sd to lightning adapter)?

I have lost count of how many times I have corrupted cards and ssd drives when connecting them directly to my iphone. I have repaired the file system and reformatted, then they are as good as new. That connection is so slow and bad that one can consider a miracle when it works without issues.
