I'm unhappy to report data loss on this card, a lot I might add. Never, have I seen this much data loss. Took me a minute to figure out it was the card as I started getting -50 error's, which when dropping to a CLI, I got invalid arguments when trying to copy from BASH. Then reviewing in post, corrupt RAWs, 2000+ of them. I'm fuming.

Not Pro-grade, at all.

Guess I need to go back to my Sony Toughs, never had a problem with em. Just 128GB came be limiting.

Are you on Linux now? Have you tried reading the card in a Windows or Mac computer and/or a different card reader? I am trying to figure out how you had so many corrupted files , but the camera never threw up a write error.

As a general, I never leave that many photos sitting on a single card.

MacOS shows the previews don't exist for those files; I checked.

I would try a different reader

Thanks, will try.

Edit: Although one of the movies is still "toast", the 2000 files from the 8th of this month, are now showing up with previews on MacOS... Used a different reader. Transferring and crossing fingers...

Nope, they're gone. Good idea though. I'm double grumpy though, they were from my kids field trip to the museum, with my Rokinon 21mm... Ugh. Those really came out good, but never made it obviously.
