Maybe Android is smarter than I thought. :) >Rsync can check to see if the files are corrupt and only copy over the >ones that need copying over. I have several backup scripts that use rsync, but otherwise I rarely use it, so I'm far from an expert. Thanks for the tip that it can tell if a file is corrupt. As a sort of conclusion for this mess, I have concluded that the new 256GB Samsung Evo card is defective. It's going back to the eBay seller or to Samsung, as soon as I figure out which one to send it to. Part of the reason for my decision is that my other 256GB card is working perfectly in both the computer and the phone. My only complaint is that it's exFAT, so I have to put up with Android writing unnecessary and useless folders to it. But that's a complaint about Android, not the fault of Samsung's quality control.
