Need some serious help

Question

I have a 128 GB micro SD card that I am using with a Nifty Drive in my Macbook Pro. I have been using it for almost a year.  All of a sudden the drive disappeared and I could no longer access the files on the Nifty Drive.  I pulled out the drive, reinserted it and got this message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer".  Below is a snapshot of the info pulled from "System Information" if that helps. Is there anything I can do to recover the data on the card?USB 3.0 Bus:  Capacity:                          126.97 GB (126,968,922,112 bytes)  Removable Media:           Yes  BSD Name:                       disk2  Host Controller Driver:      AppleUSBXHCILPT  Partition Map Type:          MBR (Master Boot Record)  PCI Device ID:                  0x9c31  PCI Revision ID:               0x0004  PCI Vendor ID:                 0x8086  Volumes:disk2s1:  Capacity:        126.95 GB (126,952,144,896 bytes)  File System:    ExFAT  BSD Name:     disk2s1  Content:          Windows_NTFSCard Reader:  Product ID:                                    0x8406  Vendor ID:                                     0x05ac  (Apple Inc.)

If you have Windows PC or can access to it, rescues data by it. Then reformat SD card if it works.

Hello flytrout,First try to flip the read/write switch a few times. If that doesn&#x27;t help, try moving it but not all the way. If you can get it to mount, immediately copy the most important files. Then use Disk Utility to create an archive image.What kind of Mac are you using? Unfortunately, the SD card slots in MacBook pros are notorious for failing. The card is probably fine. It is the Mac that is failing.
