    Defrag SD card, recognized as HD?


    Windows 10 home 64 bit's DEFRAG program, recognizes my SD card as a harddrive.

    It also wants to defrag it like a harddrive, as opposed to treat it like an SSD (by trimming it).


    1- Is there a way to change this?

    2- Is there any benefit for SD cards to be defragged? I presume due to the low ECC (Error Correction) happening within, a true defrag of an SD/MicroSD card, could potentially damage internal files.

    3- Is there a better (alternative, non MS) program available that can handle defragging/trimming for SD cards?

    :)

    Jon,

    You posted that you would try the suggested steps by Tryx3. May we have an update if the suggested steps have resolved the issue about your SD card being recognized as a fixed drive in Windows 10?

  3. My Lumia 635 is not detecting SD card

    Hi,

    You may try the following steps:

    • Try to remove the SD card and insert it again, make sure it's seated well without using too much force.
    • If it still does not recognize the SD card, you may try to connect your SD card to PC via a card reader and format.
    • Try using a different SD card and check if your Lumia 635 will recognize it.

    Windows 10 does not recognize 128gb micro sd card

    Hi Steve,

    To better assist you, provide us with the following information:

    • Do any other SD cards work on your Windows 10 laptop?
    • Have you tried checking if your Kingston SD10VG2 works on other computers? If not, we suggest you to do so.
    • Were there any changes made on your laptop prior to this concern?

    For possible resolution, check if the SD card is listed in Disk Management by following the steps below:

    1. Press Windows key + X.

    2. Click on Disk Management.

    3. Check if Kingston SD10VG2
    is listed.

    If the SD card is not listed in Disk Management, we recommend you to check
    for an updated driver from the manufacturer and have the latest version installed. After ensuring that the correct driver is installed, check if the device is recognized in the Device Manager.

    Let us know how it goes.
