Why are my files disappearing from my micro SD card for Samsung Galaxy Note 4?

[Dibyaranjan Panigrahi]

I have a solution and it worked for me.Right click on the sd card and go to properties, now go to the 'tools' option and click on 'check disk'

I have a 64 GB PNY card giving me trouble in a replacement Galaxy Note 4 I just got. It goes offline after a while. I am in the middle of repeatedly doing an rsync of the data via the mtp mount to my PC under Linux. I copy a few GB and then start getting errors. At that point the SD card seems to be unavailable to the phone. Then I reboot the phone and start over. The card I've had just a few months. By the way, there is some suggestion elsewhere that SD cards may contribute to overheating and instability on the phone. But I'm still not sure if that is the brand of SD card or the phone itself.

What's best path:
1) try a format of the SD card on a PC and reformat?
2) Switch to a Samsung-branded card?
3) 1 & 2?

BTW I would appreciate a recommendation on an external SD card reader. The SD reader in my Lenovo G50 laptop is unusable (apparently not unusual on those laptops).

I'd try 1 and then 2 if 1 fails. As for a card reader, I've been using this one on my laptop, PCs, and with an OTG cable on phones & tablets:

Works great. I did switch to Samsung cards on my Samsung phones and Samsung tablet.

Thanks very much. I ordered:

Samsung 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD PRO Select Memory Card with Adapter 64 GB (MB-MF64GA/AM) +
Saicoo USB3.0 Card Reader 4 Slots 11 in 1 with dual SD and Micro SD slots +
Kupton K020 Water Resistant Memory Card Carrying Case with Fiber Cloth, 24 Slots for 12 Piece SDHC / SDXC Cards and 12 Micro SD Cards

So maybe I can use the PNY in other devices. There's still some chance the phone itself is having trouble since it is a refurbished phone. With repeated attempts to format the SD card in the phone, it always fails (no obvious error message) and the card just goes offline and I can't see it until I reboot again so it is just a lost cause.

Good luck and report back!
