[SirTankBall]

i posted this on the sandisk fourm but i though i'll post it here to.

 

why is that mirco SD cards can be corrupted so easly? i have atleast 5 sandisk micro SD card that r corrupted in a way to where they will not format and let files copy over. why is that after all these years with micro SD cards being out they havnt fixed this bug yet? hell i had atleast 3 go into lock mode on me when mirco SD cards dont have a lock switch on them. those 5 cards i have two of them r 65GB and the other three 32GB.

my smartphone. on of them is a 64GB that has files on it. i go to delete them and the PC thinks there come. i go to safe remove it and plug it back in and the files r still there. i got other ones that just will not format at all.

Not a bug I don't think; I have found  they just have no real resilience or lifespan when it comes to above light usage.

are you sending the files to the recycle bin then not emptying it?

Sandisk usually offers long warranties for their cards, get them to replace them.

Supposing those are Sandisk cards of course.

 

Phones tend to do frequent small writes which cards aren't designed for.

Of the memory cards I've used, I'd only had a couple become inoperable even with heavy usage. A 32 GB Lexar MicroSD card I'd used as a Skyrim drive works flawless, and I've a 64 GB Sandisk (bought for $13) in my camera I'd filled up the 2nd time and just formatted today.

 

My dead cards consist of a 16MB (yes, MegaBytes) SD card that came with my old Kyocera camera, and a 1 GB Patriot card that inexplicably died. I did also have a 32 GB flash drive die too. For whatever reason, I've had minimal issue with flash storage.
