SanDisk says it produced some bad 32GB and 64GB microSD cards


Well, unless you have a habit of destroying your hard disks, the memory modules in your mobile phone and all your USB drives, memory cards etc, it is a risk you would have to live with anyway.

Yes I do believe in the destruction of memory storage devices if I'm disposing of them. It's just like shredding confidential paper documents, isn't it?
 

Wow... lucky my 32GB is from another brand. :sweat:

Yeah. I wipe and remove my hard drive before selling my laptops for scrap, but I don't really care about my memory cards. I just simply wipe it a couple of times before proceeding to sell them.

I know wiping is not foolproof, and a determined individual can certainly recover the wiped files. Still, There is nothing too confidential in there I would get uptight about. Some pictures of family and friends smiling and my commercial and personal works. That's all. Certainly no Edison Chen style pictures! ;-)
 

mine went dead on me few month back and after replacement, the msg of "unexpected removal of memory card..preparing memory card" re-appear again.

Today, the replacement card went dead again .....

Hi! guys. my friend's card got issue. where to get replacement ah? I think don't have receipt or the blister card that came with it. Still can change?
 

I've got a 8gb sandisk extreme cf card- can take a few photos but can't take videos- after recording and finishing the event, the video files are not recorded... happened twice, and then permanently cannot record videos. They have a lifetime warranty but cannot exchange as i don't have the receipt.

going for cheaper alternatives like transcend and silicon power. Learned painful way that more expensive doesn't mean more reliable...

There are actually 3 official distributors of Sandisk in Singapore. Vector Magnetics is only one of them.
