Hello!
I recently have updated all the mods I had on my Switch, from CFW to sigpatches, which is now running on the latest Atmosphere release and downloaded firmware 15.0.1 on it through Daybreak. I previously used a 64 GB exFAT microSD on it, but have recently acquired a 128 GB microSD which I formatted to FAT32 with 32k cluster using guiformat as I've seen many users recommend it over exFAT. I made sure every file from the previous card got transferred over properly to the new card, didn't run through any issues during the process.
After I inserted the new card in the Switch everything ran smoothly, until I get past the lock screen. After doing so I get a pop up saying that corrupted data has been detected on the card and it prompts me to delete all the data on it. I'd like to mention this happens after a few seconds without attempting to open any game, but I'm able to bypass this by pressing the home button. When I go to the data management settings the Switch acts like no microSD has been inserted. I never encountered this issue with my old SD card.
I have tried to research it but unfortunately couldn't find this issue anywhere else besides this reddit post that describes my same issue (www.reddit.com/r/SwitchPirates/comments/uu8z59/cfw_says_corrupted_data_detected_on_micro_sd_at/ ).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tested the card with a program like H2Testw?
Maybe you had the misfortune to get a fake SD card.
They are so well forged that you can't see the difference between a genuine and fake card.

Hello,
I tried H2Testw. I formatted the SD card prior running the test multiple times just to make sure since it wouldn't let me verify all of it otherwise, however I got an error offset 0x27f00000 pop up 30 minutes in. I suppose the card was just faulty after all. Thanks for the answer either way, it was really helpful.
Small edit: after the test I decided to verify the data it was able to write anyway and I got a bunch of pretty bad errors, so that sadly confirms my suspicion. Guess I will just have to get a new card.

    There are very few people I just have just an immense dislike of and he's one of those very few people, the only other example is Gene Simmons. My musician uncle on my mother's side of the family actually met Gene once during some event and said he was the most unpleasant person to be around.
