I bought this v90 SD card just a couple months ago and it’s now doubled in price. I know AI infrastructure is destroying the RAM market and some flash storage, but is this really affecting SD card prices as well?
Thanks everyone for the input! Really helpful discussion.
Big takeaway for me is not to rush into wiping or reinstalling a system before checking the files that’s where most of the real loss happens.
Appreciate all the shared experiences. Marking this as resolved
YEAH, IT happens all the time.
People rush to wipe/reinstall the PC to remove the infection, then realize the important files were only stored locally. Once the drive is overwritten, recovery gets much harder.
Better flow: isolate → preserve/clone the drive → attempt recovery → then rebuild. Data preservation should come before cleanup.?
Curious what people here recommend for recovering deleted files on Windows. Not a physically damaged drive , just emptied Recycle Bin and realized important photos were inside. Are free tools enough or do paid ones make a real difference
Hey everyone,
I lost some important video files while transferring data from a USB drive to my Windows PC, and now they’re not showing on the drive.
Can anyone recommend a reliable data recovery software for **Windows**? I don’t mind paid options — just looking for something that actually works.
Thanks!
Yeah, happens all the time.
People rush to disconnect and reinstall Windows to remove the infection, but no one checks the local files first. After the rebuild, they realize all the documents/accounting data were only on that PC.
Better approach: isolate the system, preserve/clone the drive, try recovery, then rebuild.
Cleaning the malware is easy & the real loss usually comes from wiping the data too quickly.
The problem is that ‘containment’ usually looks more like a controlled demolition. Teams are so obsessed with killing the infection that they burn the whole house down just to catch one spider, then act shocked when the user has nowhere to live. If you don’t pause to rescue files first, you aren’t ‘responding’ to an incident you’re just a cleanup crew making a bigger mess.
The problem is that everyone wants to be the hero who fixes the ‘broken’ computer in ten minutes. They nuked the infection, sure, but they nuked the user’s life’s work along with it. Speed is almost always the enemy of your data
Totally get that. Most people just focus on getting the system back up and running, and by then, the data is already gone. Honestly, unless you have a solid backup, tools like Stellar are your last shot before you’re stuck paying thousands at a recovery lab. It’s a huge gap that most teams don’t even think about until it’s too late.
Back up your files first using a recovery USB or another PC. If the drive isn’t accessible, use a trusted Data Recovery Software to recover data before attempting advanced repairs.
Back up your files first using a Windows recovery USB or by connecting the drive to another PC. Avoid repeated restarts or risky repairs before securing your data. If the drive isn’t accessible, you can use a trusted tool to recover important files before attempting advanced fixes.
I’m stuck on the “Please wait for the GPSVC” screen and can’t log in—should I back up my files first and use a tool like Stellar Data Recovery before trying advanced fixes?
I use passports. Is that reliable? Please educate me as an expert would.
