SD Cards becoming write-protected randomly
Hi everyone. I'm becoming quite frustrated over here and hoping someone can help.
I'm a recent SuperStation One owner. Upon receiving the console I wrote the recent firmware to the supplied 64gb card, ran update_all. And everything worked fine.
Then, I decided to expand my card, so I got a SanDisk Ultra 512gb. I Then flashed the same firmware (1.0C I believe) and copied all files from the 64gb over plus quite a few other files I had collected.After some time, that card became write-protected for no reason.
I figured it was failing, bit the bullet and bought another. Brand new. Same card. Legit vendor. Did the same.
This time I only transferred files via network, thinking it might have been the removing of the card constantly from the SS1 causing the issue.
Now after a few weeks, that one has also adopted the same behaviour. Can't add. Can't delete. I can remove files from the card. That's it. Can't remove write-protection on PC.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Could this be a power supply issue? Would that initiate write protection?
UPDATE: I appreciate everybody's input. in follow up, the card came back clean on H2testw's write + verify test. So, while fake cards can be a culprit- no doubt - I don't think it is the silver bullet that most comments seem to think. something else is at play here, but I wouldn't imagine heat, as my SS1 does not seem to run warm. Anyway, I'm gonna try some lower capacity cards I have lying around. Ironically, the cheap card it came with is fine. Haven't had an issue.
