Corrupted SD card good practice 2023
July 6, 2023 5:52 PM
SD card shows up but says it’s corrupted. I need the data off it. Is Disk Drill Pro, which SEO of google searches suggests is the best method, the best method? Or should I go straight to a pro recovery expert? I have macOS, ios and android systems to hand
GNU ddrescue to create a disk image of the card, then PhotoRec on that?

Seconding PhotoRec (recovers more than just photos). I've used it on a bunch of bad SD cards and hard drives over the years.
If you have issues getting PhotoRec going memail me. Also, flip the little switch on the side of the SD card to make it not writeable.

As for Disk Drill, it looks reasonably legit - there are alternatives here if you want to poke around a little.
