Hey everyone,
I’m having a serious issue with my PS4. When I try to boot it up, I get the error:
“Cannot Access System Storage (CE-34335-8)”
I’ve tried restarting multiple times, unplugging everything, and even reconnecting the hard drive, but nothing seems to work. I’m worried the HDD might be corrupted or failing.
My main concern right now is losing all my saved data. I didn’t back everything up recently (yeah… regret that now).
Question:
Is there any way to fix this error without losing data?
And if the drive is damaged, what’s the best data recovery software to retrieve files from a PS4 hard drive?
I came across something called Stellar Data Recovery — has anyone used it for console drives? Does it actually work?
Any help would be really appreciated
Most likely it’s a format issue—iPhone 13 Pro uses HEIC, which older systems like MacBook Pro 2015 can struggle with.
Yeah that’s actually scary 😬 and you’re not wrong to feel that way. Google Photos is usually reliable, but it’s not meant to be your only backup. Stuff like corruption or sync glitches can happen over time.
Real talk: if it’s acting this unstable, don’t trust it again even if you “fix” it. Backup anything you can ASAP and replace it.
I used to work with someone at a camera store that would try to fix this with a little coffee stir straw. If you can imagine getting the end of the bent pin into the end of the straw and using that to straighten it. With it being the pin on the end, you’ve got a decent chance of being able to fix it.
Naah! Get a new one and dont even think to fix it by yourself.
After buying a new storage device, always test it, especially if it’s from a 3rd party seller. I recommend using the official SD formatter to format the card, then h2testw to fill up the entire drive and verify the data. Many scammers can buy a cheaper card and spoof a higher capacity firmware so it appears to be the larger size, even if it can’t actually hold that much space. There’s also a possibility of it just being bad.
It’s an EOS 5D mark iii, won’t read the big SD card, can’t rlly tell if I bent a pin or not.
Yeah this kinda stuff happens more than you’d think 😬 USB drives can get weird like that when they’re failing or corrupted.
Nah fr that’s not normal at all 😭💀 SD cards don’t just randomly delete or corrupt stuff unless they’re cooked or fake. Even if it says Samsung, it could be a counterfeit card (super common btw). Once it starts bugging like that, it’s basically done—no real fix.
Hey everyone, my sd got corrupted and ended up losing all my data, I want to reformat it but I can’t since it only shows 32m. My switch shows the same thing, how do I resolve this? I tried numerous programs but they didn’t work
Not super common tbh, especially if you’re using solid brands, but yeah it can happen. Using one big card isn’t terrible, just kinda risky if it fails = everything gone 😬. A lot of pros split across smaller cards + dual slots for safety. Your setup’s fine, just depends how safe you wanna play it.
My children bent my SD card. I have my holiday pictures there 🙁 Is there any chance the data can still be recovered?
Should i take it to a photographer?
After installing a Windows update yesterday, one of my drive partitions disappeared from File Explorer. Disk Management shows it as unallocated now. All my files were on that partition—can I recover it?
Yeah, that error usually points to a failing or disconnected hard drive. First thing I’d suggest:
If it still fails, the drive might be dead.
About recovery, PS4 uses a proprietary format, so not all software works well. I’ve heard of Stellar, but haven’t personally used it on PS4 drives.
