Let's learn from each other by sharing our experiences with data loss.
I lost data by .
I also lost data by chaining too many adapters/hubs on top of each other, which might have caused too heavy voltage fluctuations or translation errors.
I connected a MicroSD card to a MicroSD to SD adapter to an SD to USB adapter to a USB hub through USB-OTG to a mobile phone, which ended up corrupting the file system header on the MicroSD card (OS asks for reformat), but the USB stick connected to the same hub survived. Data recovery software could recover some files based on file headers, but fragmented files and file/folder path names could not be revovered intact.
What are your stories of data loss?
