We have two Moto G5 phones, both with 64GB micro SD cards for additional 
storage, formatted to store files (i.e. so that the cards can be read in 
a PC or another device. Several times now, on both phones, on starting 
the phone from OFF, Android reports the SD card as corrupt and says "tap 
to fix". Well the "fix" is to reformat the card, so hardly a fix. 
Anyhow, the "corrupt" cards read OK in Windows 10 on laptop, and copying 
the data in Windows then reformatting the card in Android seems to fix 
the problem, then a couple of restarts later the card is reported again 
as "corrupt". In frustration I have tried switching the phone off and on 
again, and this usually clears the error, not always on the first power 
cycle, but usually by the third.

We don't tend to switch our phones off very often, but it is very 
irritating to have to power cycle the phone several times to get the 
card recognised. Has anyone else had this problem - I'm trying to figure 
out whether it is Moto hardware, Android software, SD card or a 
combination which is causing the problem. We are using two SD cards from 
the same manufacturer, and I have tried one from a different 
manufacturer which "seems" to not suffer from the same issue, but as it 
is intermittent it's difficult to be sure.

Never had a problem with my previous phone which was Android 5 but only 
16GB SD card.

Has anyone else had this problem with SD cards in phones?

Cheers
