Are you able to generate a raw dump on the contents of the card? (there is software for this, and helps you determine if it is a filesystem problem or a physical problem). | |

Windows indicates a generic disk error. I'm more interested in tools to help diagnose such problems than I am in figuring out this specific problem. | |

| Jan 29, 2013 at 17:39 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Are you writing repeatedly? Doing anything interesting with power management? Do the cards fail unresponsive, or with data errors, or refuse to allow writing, or? | |
| Jan 29, 2013 at 17:09 | comment | added | Adam Davis | Yes, I can send them to the manufacturer and work with field app engineers, and I'm pursuing that, but it'd be very nice to do this in-house. | |
