This card worked fine until today, when the entire card was full of unrecognized files of some sort. Why? Beware. Only card I've ever had crap out.

Do the unrecognized files have an extension (.jpg, .gif, etc.) and what type of camera? Some cameras can shoot and store photos in multiple formats at the same time. I usually shoot in Nikon RAW format (.nef) and .jpg. Without the correct software, you may not be able to view the alternate file format. Formatting the card should clear it of the current files.

SanDisk stands behind their products. Contact them. To me it sounds like a problem with your card reader rather than the card.

Did you format the card in your camera first? I have bought over two dozen Sandisk cards of all shapes and sizes and never had a problem...strange.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class 10 card. Oddly, the camera thinks it's full quite often. I don't worry too much about it -- just format when I get that message.

"Pawel says: just format and u get empty card "I did format (on my PC) and I got 7.31 and 7.46 GB on those cards as I said in original post. By "empty" do you mean 8GB? That's what I was wondering..

I found out how to solve this problem for a Mac. You need to format the card by erasing it first. To format -Appications folder --to Utilities folder-- to Disk UtilityYou can format it from there.

The card I received from CTCStore was fake, and non-functioning. So for me it was 0GB. So I probably wouldn't take your chances on this one.

Yes, indeed, and you are probably better off. The sony card comes with some odd extra folder that is not used. Be sure the card is formatted FAT, but they normally come that way.

And my experience - I've purchased like 5 of them in the last year, 1 of them (8 GB) failed after a few weeks, all pictures/videos lost. So many people complain here the same. They have a big percentage of lemons. If you do buy one of these, be sure to backup the entire card as often as possible - at least on a daily basis, or whenever you take new photos/videos.I have also been using for so many years Sandisk, and never had a problem with them. They are a bit more expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

The card I received was formatted 1G with an image that won't boot. But following the R-Pi instructions on the website the SD-Card formatting tool was able to re-format back to 4 G.

When I purchased this card, I saw it was recommended for my newly purchased Olympus TG-820 camera. My card failed after less than 100 pictures. I had to buy a new card in Maui.The camera message read card error. The camera shop clerk tried to make it work. He tested it in his working cameras and it would work for one or two pictures then quit.I have compared the old sim card to the one I bought in Maui. There is a difference. Plus even my computer can not pull the pictures off the old card. It says the card has to be reformated.

My card actually crashed and all the data got corrupted. Very disappointed.Maybe just a fluke.. But still very disappointed with the micro so card.

Yes, be careful with the cheap card readers from China. I had one that corrupted image files during the read or import of the images and they were unrecoverable. I threw it away of course, but I just wanted to agree that it does happen.

I'm pretty sure THE CARD NEEDS TO BE RE-FORMATTED. Put the card in an adapter (may have come with the card, mine did) connect it to your computer and format it. If you don't know how to do any of this go to you tube and do a search for S5 memory card

Yeah, I've been using a couple of ScanSnaps for over a year, with no problems til today. Like you, I have a 500g drive, so I was stumped. When rebooting brought no relief, I literally sat and stared at my file mgr, trying to figure out what, if anything, changed. That's when I realized that I'd been lazy/ sloppy the past few weeks- not bothering to organize the docs into assorted folders. Live & learn, eh?!

I have constant trouble with these things saying the SD cards are corrupted. Once that happens, it doesn't even record to my computer for some reason, live viewing only.

A disc that I purchased did the same thing after just one month. I don't know why and numerous e-mails to SanDisk regarding the issue went unanswered. Must be poor quality .

I emailed Asus when I inserted a 64gb generic card and it would not work. There are specific cards it will work with so check out asus info. Also DO NOT FORMAT THE CARD or you ruin it... gee nice to know huh? Kingston and Sandisk are the two I am shopping for because I have used them before and trust the brand. The SanDisk Ultra is on sale right now too I noticed on Amazon.
