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!!

Depends on what happened prior, did it get borked by your camera not shutting down correctly, by a bad reader, by you not ejecting an exFAT formatted card correctly, or by just sitting on a shelf unused? Only the last one on that list means it'll keep getting worse.
