Hi @NaveenKumar ,

It seems the memory card may be corrupted or the card reader is malfunctioning. First, try a different card reader or system. If the issue persists, use data recovery software or format the card if data isn’t crucial. Check Western Digital’s troubleshooting guide here: https://support.wdc.com for more help.
