Does anyone has experience on failing microSD cards ? I am scare of getting new cards.
I have a 5 months old Lexar 128Gb 633x. The initial symptoms were constant pausing in the music played from the card in my LG G3. After a week, the phone reported the card was unmounted unexpectedly. Subsequently, I could no longer mount the card for more than 1 minute. I had tried full format the card in PC (not quick format), format in the phone. The format has no issue, but the phone would not mount it for more than a minute. Not to mention about writing. I had also tried factory reset the phone to make it is not any apps that playing up. Lastly, I set up my Canon camcorder to format the card and try to record to it, it failed after 3 minutes of recording (maybe it reached its internal buffer limit).
The plus point was, it had no problem reading the data from the PC, which I could backup all my data before formatting.
In PC, it seems has no problem writing to it if it is formatted by the PC.
My point is, regardless the price of the card, reliability is still the primary concern. That is because the value of data is much higher than the price of the card.
