You might have either a faulty reader or a fake SD card. You can use something like "H2testw" to check whether this is the case.

You can get fake cards from anywhere including Amazon. If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

Try using the "SD Card Formatter" instead.

Try using the "" instead.

I would never trust random 3rd-party software that I don't know of to format my SD card. Does your SD card keep corrupting after you have formatted it with one of the tools that I recommended to you?

I doubt it's AOMEI's software causing issues they have been around for a while. More than likely the card is defective or fake. I bought a 1TB Sandisk Ultra card for the Switch two years ago off of Amazon and within two weeks it was giving me issues. At first, data that I had just copied to the card would randomly appear to have been deleted, and eventually, I was unable to write to or format the card. I RMA'd it directly to Sandisk since it was a legit SD card and they mailed me another one after I sent them the defective one.

Test the card with H2testw as was suggested above just to rule out it being a fake card. If it passes then format it with the SD Card Association's formatting tool as also was suggested above. Fake cards can also be identified via serial numbers and text among other things. If it's legit but still errors out I'd try to RMA it just so you know you get a fresh brand-new card direct from the manufacturer. Otherwise, return it to Amazon.

If you mean the SD Formatter Tool it defaults to exFAT if you're using a larger capacity SD card. You need to format it with the tool and then use something else to format it to FAT32. If you don't want to use AOMEI then try FAT32 Format GUI.
