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 don't want to take the card out because I don't have a card reader at the moment and I prefer not to touch the slot since I heard it's easily broken and hard to replace.
I didn't know this. I thought H2Testw would wipe the sd card to test it. Good to know, thanks!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.
Nop, H2TestW can test the free space.I didn't know this. I thought H2Testw would wipe the sd card to test it. Good to know, thanks!
You got a fake card, if you can ask for a refundHaving gone through this myself...hekate showed everything was fine. In fact, it was not fine. 300,000+ bad sectors on a new sandisk 512gb.
If you find bad sectors on the card is there a way to repair it the same way chkdsk offers? Is there a way to use chkdsk to repair the SD card without taking it out?

Was a brand new card from microcenter. Bought two, only one had an issue.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.Was a brand new card from microcenter. Bought two, only one had an issue.
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 dealIf you find bad sectors on the card is there a way to repair it the same way chkdsk offers?
