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!!

It amazes me that people will spend so much money on their gear and then buy the cheapest shit cards they can to save a buck or 2. They are always on sale and fairly cheap. I have several unopened packages of cards just in case this happens to any of the cards I have in use.

I would like to, I spent $70 on this one because of how big it is. I also would like to have not too slow of write speeds. Idk I’m new to actually paying attention to what cards I get.
