Have you ever had a USB stick or SD card break?

Broken in the sense that one day they stopped working without being destroyed by physical impact !?

Only SD cards, 4x SanDisk & 1x Samsung

Yeah, it’s been a couple of times.

An interesting phenomenon with a USB stick:

He suddenly couldn’t be described anymore. So neither change files nor add anything, nor format…

Micro SD cards I already had some broken in my hands. Rather in connection with embedded electronics such as Raspberry Pi and Co.

Yes with an usb stick, suddenly no longer was detected, no matter what device. That was the only exception.

Dultus, UserMod Light

SD Cards anyway, yes. The small parts are relatively sensitive.

SD cards that were originally no longer registered as a storage device. What no more partitions were visible – it simply made no difference whether card was inserted or not.

This is not possible if the card is no longer registered as a storage device, and thus partitioning becomes impossible.

“Format”, i.e. create file system, is the last step.

But you could format your coffee cup as well.

I do not belong to the least, because I would also not examine it through the data carrier administration.

Instead, I would use lsblk for it. Its output is independent of the existence or non-existence of partitions or file systems on the storage device.

A card that is no longer registered as a storage device cannot be initialized, quote, “in the data carrier administration”. Is there anything you’re complaining about?

SD cards and micro SD cards not yet, but 2 USB sticks.

The first USB stick that made my hockey was an Intenso 1GB stick in 2010 or so. The supernatant wasn’t even a single year and there was no obvious reason why he didn’t work anymore. From one to the other time, all the data that were stored on it were simply fussy and nothing could be stored with the stick.

In the second stick, it was due to an application error by a buddy of mine who simply pulled off the stick from laziness instead of clicking “safely remove” beforehand. The data on the stick is still legible, but although about 80 GB are still free from the 128GB stick, the stick is read-only due to this operating error and the write protection can no longer be overcome – and I have tried a lot.

One or two, these were then cheap, which I received from any advertising company. But I still keep the data safe somewhere else, so everything is chic.

SD cards I had rarely and USB sticks were always functional.
