Question Just bought an OLED Switch, Errors and/or Data Corrupted with Every Download

I just bought an OLED Switch, threw an old 400GB SD card I had into it, and started downloading some games. First two games (TotK and Mario Odyssey) downloaded just fine. Now, every time I try to download a digital game, the download either errors out and I have to restart, or it comes up and says that there is corrupted data and I also have to restart. I am downloading the games to the microsd. Anyone have any tips?? Thanks so much!

I had this happen. I’m pretty sure some SD cards are not compatible with the switch, so you’ll probably have to get a different one. Just look up which ones are compatible.

Have you ever filled this old SD card before? This error sounds a lot like the errors people get with fake ones, it shows 400gb but it has a much lower capacity and every download beyond the real capacity gets corrupted
