6.0 Marshmallow: SD Card, Adoptable or Portable Storage?

[djousma]

I had some unexplainable problems with my sandisk ultraplus 64gb soon after marshmallow upgrade. Replaced it with one of these, and have had no problems since.

So my new SanDisk Ultra 32GB micro SD HC I that I left as portable storage started acting up. The pics that I took and went straight to the card would not display in the gallery app. I went to storage and saw that where my SD Card was previously labeled as SD Card 32GB had its name changed to a bunch of different letters and symbols. Then all of a sudden it was corrupted. I didn't do anything to it. I don't understand why it failed. I reformatted the card by putting it in my laptop and started the process again. It ended up going back to the weird letters, etc. What does anyone think? I guess I need a new card? The Motorola webpage shows the type of card to use which my card has all the same requirements. The card looked legit and not a fake. What gives?

The name thing is not just you. See

(1) The name of the external SD card has been sdcard1 for years and years. It is now a unique number like 6337-3536. The apps that you had in the past (like file managers) that pointed to /sdcard1/something will now have to be revised. There no longer is an sdcard1.

(To be honest, the naming convention has changed over the years on Droids. I recall when internal storage was /sdcard and the sd card was called /sdcard-ext.)
