Etcher has corrupted two brand new SD cards and one USB drive. I formatted a new 64 gig SD drive to fat 32 using gparted then flashed Raspbian to the drive. When a flash drive becomes unreadable, you need to determine first whether it results from a logical corruption or physical corruption.
Hello It's possible that there was an issue with the USB drive that caused it to become corrupted during the flashing process, but it's also possible that there was an error during the flashing process itself. Balena Etcher is designed to be a fast and reliable way to create bootable USB drives, but there are certain factors that can affect the speed and reliability of the process. These include the speed and quality of the USB drive, the speed of your computer's USB ports, and the size of the image being flashed. If you suspect that the USB drive may be faulty, you can try formatting it and checking for any errors using a disk utility program. Additionally, you can try creating a bootable USB drive using a different program or a different USB drive to see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, it may be worth seeking further assistance from the manufacturer or a technical support professional.
