SD and microSD cards are the preferred storage media for cameras, drones, and smartphones in Dubai. Photographers, videographers, and everyday users rely on them for capturing precious memories and professional work. However, these cards are extremely prone to logical corruption, accidental formatting, and physical damage. A single error can make months of work or personal memories inaccessible.
Unlike USB drives or SSDs, SD cards use fragile NAND chips and tiny connectors, which are easily damaged by improper ejection, moisture, or power surges in cameras. At RecData Dubai, our engineers use advanced techniques such as chip-off recovery, NAND image reconstruction, and file system repair to restore lost photos and videos. We regularly recover from SD cards that appear as “blank,” request formatting, or are not recognized by any device.
Typical SD Card Failures in Dubai
- File system corruption – Card not recognized or shows “unformatted.”
- Accidental formatting – Entire contents deleted during camera reset.
- Photo/video corruption – Files show as 0 bytes or won’t open.
- Virus infections – Hidden or encrypted files.
- Physical damage – Cracked card, broken connectors, or water exposure.
- Bad sectors/NAND wear – Data loss due to memory cell degradation.
