![]() ![]() The advantages to a low level format will be that any bad sectors will be logged and blocked from being written to so you don't get corrupt files. As you found out, leaves nothing to recover. ![]() On the other hand, low level formatting erases all data and resets all cells to "0". A standard formatting (high level format) doesn't really delete anything, it just tells the FAT that the cell is ready to be written to. I'm no expert on the subject but from previous research on the subject I have found that low level formatting is not needed every time. I am going to be more careful in the future just how I format my cards. #Cf card recovery software review free#I ran this test using the SanDisk recovery program RescuePRO Delux, the free two year version. In formatting low level, it wiped the CFExpress card clean and I could not recover my images. In my test if I did not format low level I could recover the files. I ran a test before starting my schedule today and the above is the clue I had ignored.
