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!!

This is the reason all my cards are 32 or 64 GB. If one fails they're cheap enough to throw away without breaking the bank and if it's unrecoverable I won't lose many images.

If I had your card, after recovering what I could I would throw it away
