      You know, I'm from São Paulo and there's this neighbourhood where you can buy loads of stuff coming from China. Back in 2013 or so I remember I once bough a really storage heavy USB stick there (don't remember how much, but it was definitely way too much for those times standards). Remember a friend of mine told me just to trash it away and not plug it into anything cause he'd melted his PC's USB port with one of those. Maybe it's sth of this kind?? But then the USB stick would probably not work as intended for any purpose, and as Rich said, the guy tested it in some other device and it worked so IDK

      That's entirely wrong. What would cause a counterfeit SD card to melt is if it couldn't handle the voltage being sent to flip the transistors, which would mean its not rated anywhere near the specs of a real 1TB card.
      Now what would explain one Switch melting and the other not is a difference in hardware and firmware that played nicer with it, or the guy didn't actually do any thing to stress the card.
      No, the Switch is not the issue anymore than a GPU blowing a shoddy PSU would be.

There’s no markings on the SD card and the melted plastic thins from the outside to inside indicating a naked flame has been against this unit. Perhaps a lighter? 🤔

      I don't think it's SanDisk because the one they sell in the store right next to the switch with the Nintendo seal of approval right ON the packaging is made by SanDisk FOR the switch. They are spect correctly whereas the other ones are simply not. You can't blame Firestone because Ford gave them incorrect specs on all the tires that were blowing out, due to incorrect weight measurements.. Use the manufacturer recommended product, and this won't happen, unless there's a MAJOR problem with the main product and this is the first I have EVER heard of a switch just burning up for "no reason"..LOL!

    I think it might be from extended transfer times. Think how long it'll take to fill a 1tb card. If you tried to do it in one go, it could exceed the tolerances of the switch. Not cooling it properly causing warping or cracks to form. Which would lead to shorts.
    I'm very interested to know what the switch was doing prior to them melting, can't wait for the follow up.
