Hey Guys,

Well i'm having a bit of an issue with this card.
I shot a video clip on a KB 64gb 1000x and a 128gb 1050x
When shooting on the 128gb, out of nowhere the camera said it couldn't acces to card 1 and that i need to replace or format it.
When trying to open it on my iMac (using the Kingston USB 3.0 reader as suggested) it says the disc can not be accessed by the computer, i can only choose initialize, ignore or remove media.
Now i don't want to initialize/format the card, since there is still some very important data on the card! can anyone help me?

You will have to use recovery software on it like testdisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk)..

seems the 128gb cards are a risky proposition.

Yeah, been using a 128gb 1000x since the beginning of RAW, never had any problems with it (except that it couldn't run 1920x1080 due to lack of speed) and been using a 64gb 1000x for 2 months now, and both are working fine.
However, the 1050x, already been replaced once (i was apparently using the wrong card reader back then, the Lexar USB 3.0) but this time i'm using the kingston and this one breaks down too.
Probably going to send this one back and ask a 64gb 1000x in return.

I'm gonna try the recovery software you suggested, will post the results here.
Thanks.

So after a lot of trying to save the data i ended up with a few .GZ files.
I think this contains the RAW data but i'm not sure, can anybody tell me if it is and if so, is there a possibility to read this data so i can get the shots back?
one of the .gz files is 10,66GB while the rest (about 6 files more) is around 66KB...
