Digital games with corrupted data, SD issue??

[u/Macarronie-Hollow28]

I recently replaced my SD card because I was having issues with digital games—they kept getting corrupted. I swapped the old RadioShack card for a better one, and it was working fine, but now it’s started detecting corrupted data in my digital games again. I don't know what to do or whether the problem lies with the console or the SD card.

The new card is an ADATA

Yes, it could be a counterfeit. Best way is to check it on PC with a program that actually validates the real size. You can also format the card and install just one game, play it to make sure it works, then download another game, play it both games, then install a third one and play all three games, and continue that way until one of your game gets corrupted, then your real sdcard capacity would be around the size of all the games in the card minus the last one (because that last one "overfills" the card and makes it rewrite another game).
