What Causes SD Card Failures?
Understanding why memory cards fail can help prevent future data loss. These are the most common causes we see:
Improper Ejection
Removing cards during active read/write operations. Always use "Safely Remove" or "Eject" options.
Physical Damage
Broken connectors, water exposure, extreme temperatures, or impact damage to the card.
Controller Failure
The card's internal controller chip malfunctions, preventing access to data despite intact storage.
Power Loss
Sudden power interruptions during writes can corrupt file systems and damage memory sectors.
Wear & Tear
Flash memory has limited write cycles. Intensive use (especially for video recording) accelerates failure.
Manufacturing Defects
Substandard components or counterfeit cards masquerading as brand-name products.
