Flash memory is a type of memory that retains the information even when the power is turned off. Generally, a computer’s permanent storage area i.e. RAM requires electricity or power to retain the information. When the power is turned off, the contents stored on RAM are vanished. Hence, it is important to save the information on hard drives. Flash memory does not need power to retain the data. But, it is more expensive and not fast as RAM thus flash memory is not used in hard drives. Therefore, flash memory is commonly used in removable storage device like memory cards. Memory cards are small portable storage devices that are used to store large amount of data. It can store photos, audio files, video files, text files etc.

SD (Secure Digital), MMC (Multi Media Card), XD (Extreme Digital), CF (Compact flash), SM (Smart Media) cards etc are the different types of memory cards. Memory cards are generally used by different electronic devices like Digital cameras, PDA’s, MP3 players, Mobile phones etc. Memory cards are usually available in different brands like Transcend, Lexar, and Kingston etc. SanDisk is also one of the common brand of memory card that is commonly used to store data. SanDisk memory card that use flash memory possess many advantages over hard drive. Even though, it is not able to protect its data against logical failures. If you want to recover flash memory data from SanDisk memory card then you need to use SanDisk memory card recovery software.

Accidental deletion of data from the memory card, accidentally formatting the memory card, file system corruption etc are the common logical problems that can cause data loss. Data that has been accidentally deleted from memory card when it is connected to computer cannot be restored from Recycle Bin resulting in data loss. Because, when you delete data from external removable storage devices, it does not move to Recycle Bin, instead it bypass the Recycle Bin. Sometimes, you may accidentally format the memory card resulting in loss of data. When you format the memory card, all the data stored in it is deleted and then new file system is created to store new data. File system may gets corrupted mainly due to virus attack, sudden power failures or improper removal of memory card from the card reader while transferring data from memory card to computer. File system corruption makes data inaccessible resulting in loss of data.

The best way to avoid data loss is to take backup of essential data. Always, use “Safely Remove Hardware” icon and UPS to avoid file system corruption due to improper removal of memory card and sudden power failures respectively.

Nowadays, everyone is commonly using flash memory cards in their portable electronic devices like digital cameras, mobile phones, handheld computers, digital video camcorders, audio players etc. CF (compact flash), MMC (multimedia card), XD (Extreme digital), Smart media cards are the various types of memory cards that have a capability to store large amount of files. SD (Secure Digital) card is also a type of memory card that is most commonly used to store different types of files like audio files, video file, image files, text file etc. SD cards are mainly type of second generation multimedia card. SD cards are physically similar to multimedia cards but the main difference is SD cards have extra locking switch. Locking switch is also called as a protective lock-switch that allows the SD card to read or write the data only when the switch is in open position. When the protective switch is in closed position then data can be only read by the SD card and not written by it. This feature allows you to protect the files that are stored on SD card from accidental overwrites. Even though, SD cards are more susceptible for logical failures causing loss of files. In order to undelete files from SD card, you need to use SD card recovery software.

Accidental deletion of files is the most common reason that causes loss of files. Actually, files can be transferred from SD cards to computer via card reader or USB cable. If you accidentally delete any important file from SD card, when it is connected to computer then it does not move to Windows Recycle Bin instead it bypasses the Recycle Bin. Any data deleted from removable storage devices, when they are connected to computer does not move to Windows Recycle Bin instead the files bypass the Recycle Bin. Such files cannot be restored using “restore” option. Hence, accidental deletion may results in loss of files. Sometimes, file system of SD card may get corrupted resulting in loss of files. Generally, all memory cards support FAT32 file system to organize files in appropriate manner. If this file system gets corrupted then it does not allow you to access the files from SD card resulting in loss of files.

The best way to avoid these problems is taking backup of important files. If you have backup file then no need to worry as you can restore lost files from backup file. If you have not taken backup then also don’t worry because the files are not permanently lost or deleted from SD card, they can be recovered easily using reliable SD card recover tool.
