I got back from a weekend trip and cBettyied around 400 photos from my camera’s SD card to my laptBetty. Most transferred fine, but around 50 of them either won’t Bettyen at all or show half the image with the rest grey. A couple just throw an “unsupported format” error.
I haven’t formatted the card yet and I still have the original files on it. Has anyone dealt with something similar? I’m trying not to make things worse before I try anything else.
I bought used ex-corporate SAS drives for my also used T440 server. The drives were high end ones intended for lots of writes. I then under-provisioned my usage by keeping 10% free by excluding the space when partitioning. 18 months on, running ProxMox, it’s been great.
I have 4 20T HDDs in a NAS raid. I can’t even think about using SSDs for that. I would have to refinance my house.
What I do: I usually keep the photos in a local 1T SSD while I’m working on them. Once I’m done, they all go to the NAS.
Move the switch on the card to make it read only. Don’t use this card in the camera anymore. Buy a new card to use going forward.
Connect the card to a card reader, and the card reader to a computer. You might see your files this way. If not, try some photo recovery software.
Had my Miyoo Mini + for about 4 months now, and regrettably not used it much. Was working fine when I last used it, but as expected the battery has died and been uncharged for a while.
Went to power it up the other day and noticed two things:
– it doesn’t seem to be charging well. It says it’s charging, and will power up, but the battery icon in the top right is always showing low battery (red) even after being on charge all day.
I have tried all types of charge, wall, usb c socket and from a laptop with a cable. All the same outcome.
– when I try to load a game, it says loading for a second or two then loops back to the game list.
I am a noob and carried on with the Miyoo SD card that it came with, is this likely the issue? If this is corrupted, can I just pull the ROMS from this onto a new SD card like a SanDisk card or is there more to it than that ?
I knew risk was involved but I went in knowing I would test it immediately and used ebay checked the return policy extensively and chose a buyer that seemed the safest.
HDDs aren’t less reliable? They are more physically fragile, but they are more reliable when used within their confines. SSDs are solid, literally, but they can’t hold information forever if unpowered.
Don’t write anything else to the card and grab Recuva or DMDE, you’d be surprised what comes back from these things.
Since SSD prices took off, used/renewed drives are starting to look really attractive on Amazon either the return policies.
What sort of testing would y’all suggest be done on a used drive when it arrives? Preferably on Linux, but Windows also ok if tests can be done in a M.2 enclosure over USB.
If the card is recognized by the computer, there is a chance they can be recovered with software. If the card is not recognized by the computer, then a data recovery service is your only option.
As the title says, I actually cannot justify spending $400 on a 1tb SSD, especially because currently I need to buy 2 more. Are people just switching to HDDs for the time being even though they’re less reliable. So over all these price increases.
Storage and RAM prices have been insanely creeping up , 3x and 4x what they were 1-2 years ago.
I just got back from a concert, I checked the photos from my camera, the SD card has fully wiped itself empty. Although when I checked in the car before we left on the way back, everything was on there. Gutted because there were good videos and photos on there. Any advice?? I’d really like the get all the photos and videos back.
Hopefully Microsoft looks into it soon. For now, it seems like some users are having issues while others are completely unaffected, so it may depend on the individual PC setup.
Don’t write anything else to the SD card for now. That’s the biggest thing. If the originals are still there, make a cBettyy of the card before experimenting with recovery or repair tools.
