I have a 16 GB SD card in my mobile phone, and it contains important photos as well as the file. My computer is not able to read it. How to fix an SD Card error from the computer?
Users may be unable to access the data in the storage devices due to the corrupted files or the device itself. The SD card may have also expired after serving its life expectancy. To fix the error, you can connect the card to another system. Use “CHKDSK” command in CMD, try assigning a new drive letter, format the card, and reinstall the driver. As a last resort, you can install the SD card recovery software and let it handle it from there.
If you have an SD card and you need to access its contents on your computer, you need to have an SD card reader to allow you to read the contents of the card. Laptops normally have SD card readers built-in to the side but for desktop computers, you have to buy an adapter or an external card reader.
When buying an external card reader, buy one that supports both SD and microSD cards. This gives you a much wider support not just only one type. Try checking COASD SD Card Reader/SD Card Adapter on Amazon. This is a USB 2.0 SD and microSD card reader that plugs into your USB port. Note: this product does not support cards higher than 64 GB.
This costs $6.98. Another one to check is USB 2.0 All in One Memory Card Reader on eBay. This costs $2.87 and supports both SD and microSD cards.
