Error reading from storage. SD card may be broken #212
Comments
That's strange. Should not even get to rainbow screen on Pi 3 in that case, but get a blank screen. |
The reviews at https://www.target.com/p/targus-33-in-1-card-reader-writer/-/A-13567347 suggest it's not a very reliable card-reader? 🤷 |
I have neither infinite budget or time either, but I tend to buy known-brand stuff that looks decent, not whatever I can find in the bottom of the bargain bin 😆 |
@lurch Do you know much about this statement? |
If in doubt what to get, I would at least get an USB 3 card reader, for no other reason that you have a higher chance it has a more recent chipset. |
You mentioned you're using a 32 GB card, which means it'll be SDHC. SDXC is only for cards 64GB and above. More info at wikipedia |
@lurch @maxnet I just purchased off Amazon the SanDisk - SDDR-B531-GN6NN USB 3.0 microSD reader/ writer. |
Similar sorts of lists have been suggested before for other things, and the trouble is that there's so many different varieties that any such list would always be woefully incomplete / inaccurate. And there's so much "clone" hardware at the cheaper end of the scale, what works for one person may not work for another? 🤷♂️ The new reader you've bought looks like a good one - I've got one of those that came bundled with a SanDisk microSD card a while ago. The only tricky part is using your fingernail to get the card out again afterwards 😉 |
Maybe keep this open, and people can pile on with ones that DON'T work? |
The new SandisK USB 3.0 did provide a successful write and verify on one 32G and one 16G microSD card. |
Have these SD cards and Raspberry Pis been "known working" before, or are they all brand new? What power supply are you using? |
(LOL, I typed my reply just before you closed the issue) |
@lurch classic low power situation...my bad. Thanks a lot! |
Has someone found a workaround or fix for SD Card imager or Belana not working on a Mac OS Big Sur 11.4? All the products I try fail at the Verify stage. Thanks |
@stoomey-coalnetwork Are you using an M1 chip? Have you seen #235 ? |
Do not think failing at VERIFY STAGE is related to the issue of Imager not starting on a M1 if an offer to install Rosetta has been previously denied. Issues at verify stage are more commonly caused by:
|
No. This is an Intel MacBook Pro |
I get your logic but this is also what I have found... RPI Imager - on an SD card - gets to the end of the verify stage and then tells you the checksum doesn't match on SD Cards SO I thought I might have an issue with the sd card but that same thing happens on 2 SD cards.... so then I thought it might be the SD slot .. but I bought a second raspberry pi and got the same result .... Now I have 2 SD Sticks, 2 Rasp Pi's, 2 SD Cards, 3 SD card readers and 3 apps on the Macbook to format a disk and still not got the sd cards working...... See my challenge here? |
Maybe there's some background software (security or anti-virus or similar?) running on your Mac, that is modifying the SD-card between the "flashing" stage and the "verifying" stage? 🤷 |
It is normal that SD card is not usable if verification fails, as in that case we will not write out partition table by design. Don't think background software is the problem, as that would be likely to give same problem when writing usb stick, that does work. |
SDHC reader/writer was the solution. The reader I had was not compatible, the Sandisk 3.0 writer was the fix. |
HELLO GUYS first you need to check the SD card , if it is physically OK then you need to change the SD Card riders I am facing the same issue ,I try all the solution but my issue was not fix , even i change the SD card , at the end I change the SD card Reader and with in an 30 minutes my RAS PI OS is writing.. |
@shreyashkashyap Hi, see the solution offer. Not every reader/writer works, and the higher densities require SDHC compatible. This was solved and closed. |
hola, tengo el mismo problema pero el USB es un disco duro de 320gb conectado por Carry de SATA a USB 3.2 de ADATA. Alguna sugerencia? |

I have two new Sandisc 32G microSD card and new Merkury USB Universal 33-in-1 reader.
On both Raspberry Pi OS and Windows 10 OS I and other users have received this error from the imager while running as sudo or Win admin mode:
Error reading from storage.
SD card may be broken.
Anti-virus is OFF on Windows, as I originally suspected a background process stopping the verify step.
I have two RPi3Bs that go into infinite rainbow screen loop with microSD cards based on their boot stripe state when receiving this error.
Another user claims the may have solved with specific USB microSD reader on his Mac.
