Hi, 
You can refer to the following instructions to troubleshoot if you fail to format the SD card.
What should I do if the SD card cannot be formatted/recognized?
 

If the problem remains, please confirm the following information.
  1. List the troubleshooting you did and the test results.
  2. Send me(@Solla-topee) your camera's MAC address via a private message.
 

Best Regards

I have the same problem.
Do you know how long it takes to run H2testw on a 128GB microSD?
It's easy for you to give complicated tasks to be performed, almost as an excuse.
Even the complete formatting itself takes a long time, everywhere the device is reading normally and writing and reading without any problems.
You have to check this, it's not about passing the task on to the user, several users with the same problem and you want to send a check when clearly everyone is facing the same problem.I have the same problem.

Hi,
We truly value your feedback and understand your frustration regarding the issue with formatting the SD card. 

When it comes to troubleshooting, it is essential to conduct practical tests to accurately identify the root cause of the problem. While we test the same model of SD cards in our lab, you may encounter the issue due to the specific SD card having a problem. We recommend using the H2testw tool because it provides detailed insights into the health of the SD card, which can help us pinpoint any potential issues. Our intention is not to shift the task onto you but to gather precise data that will assist us in resolving the matter effectively.

 

You can refer to the following instructions to see the SD card compatibility table tested in our lab, and send me the model number of your microSD card, and I'll forward it to the relevant team to have a test.
What Type of microSD Card does Tapo/Kasa Camera Support?
 

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Best Regards
