Hello everyone,

I am a photographer and have been using SanDisk Extreme Pro SD cards for many years without ever encountering any issues. However, recently, several of the new cards I purchased have started to malfunction severely, resulting in the loss of a significant number of my photos.

When I use a SanDisk Extreme Pro SD card to take photos or record videos on my camera, everything appears to be working fine on the camera screen. However, after transferring the files to my computer, I find that:
・Some photos contain grey squares
・Some files are corrupted and cannot be opened at all
・Video files stop playing halfway through, or display a ‘File is corrupted’ error
・Occasionally, the capacity displayed on the memory card does not match the actual capacity
・Sometimes the memory card becomes read-only, and I am unable to delete or add new files

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m losing trust in these cards and need to figure out if I should switch brands.

Thanks in advance!

Please stop using this batch of faulty SD cards. What you need to do now is contact SanDisk directly to request a replacement under their warranty.
