Incredibly slow recovery and weird bahaviour from SD-Card
Posted: 07 Mar 2018, 09:46
Hello,
Yesterday the mounted SD card in my phone decided to get unreadable. I attempted to do some file recovery and came across some weird behaviour.
If I plug in the card with an USB-SD reader into my laptop, it won't recognise it at all, it does however in my main Computer. When plugging the drive in, it loads realy slowly, chkdsk says it cannot be used for RAW formats, so I'll assume the partition is broken.
When running either testdisk or photorec with the drive plugged in it needs approx 20minutes to even load in all my available physical drives, but eventualy gets me to the recovery options for it. It displays the partition correctly at 63GB/59GiB named "P unknown", but when attempting to recover files it takes forever to make any progress.
I left photorec running through the night, and it has indeed recovered a few .dll files, but the estimated time for completion just goes upwards, its at 2500hrs now.
Any ideas what exactly is broken on my SD card? Any tipps on how I could speed up the recovery process?
