Is there a way to check for bad sectors on SD cards without taking it out?

Also you can use UMS tool of the Hekate's NYX to mount the card as a UMS device on your computer and then use H2Testw (https://www.heise.de/download/product/h2testw-50539) on it.
I didn't know this. I thought H2Testw would wipe the sd card to test it. Good to know, thanks!
Nop, H2TestW can test the free space.
The problem is if you have a fake device, sometimes when you write on last part of the device you really overwrite data at start and you can end with a corrupted data. but if only is a damaged sector H2testw can find it using the free space on partition.
Having gone through this myself...hekate showed everything was fine. In fact, it was not fine. 300,000+ bad sectors on a new sandisk 512gb.
You got a fake card, if you can ask for a refund
Hekate only shoy you the state of card reader and sd firmware. Unless you make a full test
The electronic devices could be bad even just from factory and a original one. ask for refund or change and TEST the new one before use. H2TestW is your friend.
If there are bad sectors, the card is dead. They will spread VERY quickly on as SD card. They are soooo cheap now... I mean a 1TB card is the same price as a single switch game now so its not a huge deal

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked." -
