Is there a limit as to how many times an SD card can be formatted and reused.
What are, if any, signs of failure should I be seeing?
TIA

SD card
- Thread starter 360 Guy
- Start date
Amount of times one can be written to varies from card manufacture and card.
As for signs here.
Source:
What follows are nine signs that your SD card may be corrupted and you need SD card recovery, damaged, or otherwise compromised which means that your data is at risk.
1.Missing files
2.A “Cannot Read from the Device” warning is given
3.Initialization failure of the system
4.Memory card error appears when trying to use the card
5.No information appearing on your SD card when you know files should be available
6.A black screen on your camera, making it unable to take pictures
7.Formatting error following insertion of SD card to another device, such as a PC
8.Failure of the re-write occurs
9.CRC error during copying or transfer of data
--------------
My two cents, the cards starts to act wonky and you don't know why.
Something in the order of 10,000 write-and-erase cycles
Until the card properly fails, not much.
In use, any lost cells are marked “bad" and not used.
I have found that when it comes to SD cards, you get what you pay for. Cheap and nasty is.
