sd card has a corruptable sector?

[captcha grrrr]

Ok I own a 16gb sd card that will cause my kitkat 4.4 on a ellipsis to freeze everytime i fill it to 9.58gb. I tried a few different strategies chkdsk found no errors formatted, erased, formatted, partitioned formatted, formatted slowly I have retrieved the data numerous times. I am sure i lost some vids. No biggie.anyone think the oven trick might "smooth" out the bad hardware so i can use this card to its true capacity? Im a super cheapskate and seeking more knowledge. More teepee for my brain hole. Frustrated from texas!

Hmm....

If it was me... and I had a faulty SD card, I'd be looking to replace it, rather than mess about trying to keep it 'working' till the next time it loses data.

I tend to agree, especially as a 16GB card is tiny these days so cheap to replace.

I don't think it's as simple as a bad block, since these things don't just fill sequentially so that wouldn't always happen at the same usage (and the card controller should identify bad sectors and bypass them, though of course nothing is flawless). But it is an odd one...
