I bought this sd card and it has been very very faulty with my switch downloads, for some REASON when i am using it on steam games (which is i am doing right now) if something changes or gives me a error, it doesnt corrupt like the dbi MTP downloads

why does this happen? my sd card has been formatted to both exFAT and FAT32 and they result in the same thing, my files getting corrupted and my games not showing and i have to format it again and again, and now as i am downloading steam games on it they dont corrupt?

i wanna be 100% sure its something that had to do with my files but at the same time i am gonna return it

(SWITCH, for some reason in this screenshot, the thing that corrupted wasnt even a game lol)

(STEAM, i am really confused, also dont ask about the name, i am too lazy to change it)

one thing i forgot to mention is that i use a pre built pack named HATS, i used the same pack on another sd card and it works totally fine, dbi doesnt detect my sd card as fake, but its weird that my sd card works fine downloading steam games despite the fact that when i put it on hekate it detected it as a unknown vendor card

h2testw your card empty if you never tested the card. If you are using exfat that is part of the problem, exfat has higher chance of corruption.

Could be your switch sd reader is is not making full contact with the card either. Try another card and see if same results are presented.
 
As Hayato already said, perform a h2testw on the sd card to see if it's broken or a fake.

I kinda do find it suspicious that windows explorer reports a total capacity of 999 GB for your card. That very well could be an indication that the card is a fake. With 1 TB cards (or SSDs or HDDs or whatever) you'd usually have around ~930 GB reported as the total capacity.
