Has my SD CARD died?

Hardware
1

Hi,

i’ve been using HA for like 6 months. I’ve noticed that HA started working a bit slower in last month. Slow restarts etc. but suddenly i cant access to my HA anymore. if i put SD card to SD CARD reader, it simply doesnt do anything? It seems that it doesnt detect it. I assume my SD card is dead?

so is this normal that HA or PI ( i dont know ) ruins SD CARD?

Have you ever had situation like this? How do you handle with it?

sd cards have a limited life. The more work they do the shorter they live. If you can’t read a card in a card reader or another computer then most likely it’s shot. This is why backups are very important.

Not being able to read anything on the card isn’t necessarily a problem. I don’t know which filesystem hassio is using, but probably something that Windows by default can’t read. So even a fully functional card may not show the content you expect to see.
