How to recover inaccessible photos from Transcend SD cards

Transcend SD cards

Transcend SD cards are an ultimate choice when it comes to storing your digital photos. These cards are available in a range of capacities and are highly stable and compatible. With excellent data transfer rates, these cards are the perfect choice for high-performance results from your digital cameras.

Moreover, transcend SD cards are equipped with built-in error connecting code (ECC) to detect and correct transfer errors. Despite so many advantages, these cards are prone to throwing some errors. These errors render photos inaccessible and prompt you to restore the data from an updated backup. However, if you have not maintained any backup, you can go for a photo recovery solution.

A Transcend SD card error can be easily resolved by employing the following troubleshooting mechanisms:
  • Switch off the camera using a Transcend SD card. Take out the card, wipe off the metal connectors on the back of the card with a soft cloth. Blow away any remaining dust. Transcend card errors are often caused by dust getting accumulated on the receptors of the SD card, thus hampering data transfer between the camera and the card.
  • Remove the Transcend SD card from your digital camera, insert it in an SD card reader and connect it to a computer. Let your computer recognize the drive, go to 'My Computer'. Observe the lettered drive which represents your memory card. Be very cautious while selecting the drive as you may end up formatting one of your hard drive partitions or volumes. Right click the drive and format your Transcend memory card.

After formatting the card, use a photo recovery software to recover lost photos. These third-party tools are available on the Internet, but you have to be very careful before selecting one for photo recovery purpose. Before selecting a particular tool, you should consider following points:

  • Ensure the tool is read-only
  • Ensure it has a simple graphical user interface
  • Ensure it recovers photos in all formats (JPEG, RAW, TIF, TIFF etc)
  • Ensure it supports Transcend SD cards

After carefully selecting an apt tool, you can go ahead with the recovery process.
