![]() ![]() The main factor is if the NAND component is intact. Looking at the above examples (please excuse the poor drawing) we can tell it will depend on where the outer casing took the hit, or cracked whether we stand a chance of recovering the data. But we find the strangest things hidden inside SD Cards. ![]() First of all there’s the chance you’ll find a monolith vs PCB inside. You may stand a better chance with standard SD Cards (32mm x 24mm), however the internals vary greatly. Monolith nand chip soldered to board, attached to power controller, attached to specialized reader controlled by software SD Cards Then the protective layer is removed to reveal pins to which tiny wires are micro-soldered, which are then soldered to a board that can be connected to a NAND reader. Likely X-RAY images need to be taken to determine it’s layout and which internal components are affected. Due to complexity involved I wouldn’t be too surprised if the lab charges a research fee. It is however probably impossible to get a yes/no answer by just looking at it, you will need to send it to a data recovery lab. Chances are not good, however depending on importance of the data and the amount of cash you can spend on it, it may be recoverable. So if the latter, if it is broken then vital components are probably broken to as everything in tightly integrated in one chip. With micro SD card the outside is pretty much the device itself. If we talk about the standard form factor SD Card, broken often means damage to the plastic outside ‘enclosure’. Suggestions to format the card, use DiskPart, run chkdsk are just bullshit (pardon my French). If a SD card is truly physically broken no software will be able to help. ![]() Seems that many articles about ‘broken SD cards’ refer to software solutions. ![]()
