Need help with a micro SD card issue. Haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.

So when my wife and I bought our original Galaxy S1 phone we were given Samsung 16GB Class 4 micro SD cards. I upgraded to a Note 2 a couple years later and then now I have a G4 and my wife upgraded to an S4 3 years later and still uses it. Well, I updated my mSD card to a Sandisk 32GB but she was still using her original SD card.

Last June we had a baby. By December her card was filled with basically 14GB of videos. All of a sudden her phone would randomly say the card was dismounted. I took the card out, put it in an adapter, and my computer sees all the folders and files just fine. When I try to copy the files off it transfers at a maximum of about 50 kB/sec. It takes hours and hours to transfer a single video and then the video is kinda hit or miss during playback. When I try to delete files that have already transfer it won't let me. It will start the delete process but throw up I/O error 0x8007045d.

Anyone seen anything like this? I can still access files. I can still open them. For whatever reason it's just slow as molasses.

Help!

Hokie.
 
That sounds to me like the card got corrupted at some point, and damaged unfortunately. I'd strongly recommend you to back up everything (yes, even if it's slow) ASAP. In my experience, Samsung has a habit of frying SD cards. I don't use them anymore because of that, and now that Photos lets you back up your pictures at full resolution without counting against your Drive quota, even more.
 
I had a card that did this a while back. i copied the files a few at a time and then replaced the card. . Try coping from the phone with a cable or try a card reader. i finally replaced the card!
