@Psionic Roshambo, Same here. I have one that does *almost* every flash memory (except CF). -

Psionic Roshambo:
Yeah it's a pain, I wonder if there would be a market for a slightly higher end reader that works with EVERY format. For the hobbyist who has too much old rtandom junk lol+1

@Psionic Roshambo, It wouldve saved me shit tons of time bringing out an old computer with a reader in the form of a drive bay lol.+1

@SylverReZ, I have like 2 CF cards, I think I got them from old old camera's that people where asking me to recover the photo's off of them.... Funny thing about CF and MicroSD and all the "flash" based storage cards. If you don't power them up every so often the data gets corrupted faster than most people would think.

@
Psionic Roshambo:
In the one case I was able to recover like maybe 50% of the photo's and another 25%ish where somewhat recovered like they where all glitched.... Sad

SylverReZ:
@Psionic Roshambo, I have several old microSD cards going down to the 1GB. Half of them haven't been powered in years, they all seem to work fine except for some no-name brands which immediately corrupted data as soon as I plug it in.

@
Psionic Roshambo:
The other one was totally fine but the kids had used it to take pictures of turtles and lake and a birthday party, so the photo's the person wanted recovered where way gone.

@SylverReZ, I wonder if part of the data loss here in Florida is the humidity and maybe it causes the cells to lose power faster?

Flash memory being stored unplugged and unused will eventually start corrupting data. I've had a memory stick do that to me within less than 10 years or so of storage.+2 -
@
SylverReZ:
@Psionic Roshambo, You can use a free recovery tool like "DMDE" which works on Windows and Linux. At the time when I bought these cards, I tried recovering them with it, managed to recognize every format.+1

@
SylverReZ:
@Psionic Roshambo, Could be with how you stored them. Humid conditions can be a cause for the memory to fail.

Yeah most of the time here in Florida AC is fine and keeps things nice, once in a blue moon though when it has rained like 10 days straight even AC has trouble keeping the inside of a house dry lol+1

Must also be tough when you keep gators indoors as pets/ play things. They prefer the humidity.+2 -

@BigOnYa, lol I caught a 3 foot long yellow rat snack the other day. Was going to keep in a cardboard box until I could get an aquarium, long story short there is a big black and yellow snake in my house somewhere lol+1
