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
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)?
Correct.
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.
PhotoRec is pretty reliable
