That literally never happens. I use exFAT exclusively on my Switches since 2017, and never had it happen to any of them. I'm 100% sure it's user error. Like formatting the SD with Windows, vs using proper partitioning software.
I hope you are using other MTP connector than DBI, because dbi not supported on mac os.
It's not user error, it's caused by crashes. Sometimes crashes are user error (like forgetting to update important files or remove custom themes when updating firmware or Atmosphere files), sometimes they can even be caused by official games (Pokemon Sword/Shield were notorious for this), and homebrew is not always the most stable either.
MTP in my experience has always been an unstable, slow piece of crap ever since it was introduced way back in the day. Originally the protocol was designed for transferring camera photos so it was never designed for transferring large files and it isn't very good at it. I use Awoo Installer with ns-usbloader, it should work on Mac as well.
I have never used dbi so maybe it's better than mtp on Android. It's probably still slower though...Completely agreed; with 1 notable exclusion: DBI's MTP is always rock solid!..
Ehm-ehm, please let me show you the speedo of it (61.98 megabytes per second):
If corrupted mine 3 times before I jsut swapped to fat32
that makes litterally zero sense. MTP using DBI works with MacOS.... sometimes. the issue is the same with any MTP enabled device. The issue comes from MacOS, not DBI, not the Switch. The issue in MacOS is that Apple borked the implementation of MTP. Only one app at a time can access the MacOS's stack (or whatever technical jargon is appropriate). Probably other apps such as Finder or anything having permission to access the filesystem (MS Office, browser, or some random MacOS background daemon) often hogs up access to the MTP driver (though not actually using it), preventing an actual MTP client (such as Android File Transfer, or OpenMTP) from using it.
Holy fuck and I thought it was user error
Only if you crash homebrew a lot. I don't use homebrew on my Switch anymore, and haven't had a single issue with exFAT since getting my Switch in 2017. Since crashing homebrew seems to be the culprit, using exFAT on Switch SD cards for stock systems is good advice.
We also don't know the quality of the cards people are using, but I always go for the name-brand top-shelf cards. They're cheap enough to warrant not saving 3 cents on a cheaper brand.
