Did memory upgrade, but unsure if Kobo itself is faulty somehow.

Hi all,

I've searched & searched on this and can't seem to fine anyone else with the same issue.

I'm one of those people that likes to have a lot of books/fanfics on their device, not all, but a lot.....

I've got a Clara HD, and did the SD card upgrade, I did it the first time with a 128GB Samsung EVO card. But had to log in & out of my Kobo account, and found that once the Kobo OS started to process the books already on the card, it would get to between 7 & 10% through and come up with the empty battery screen (when it's fully charged, I might add).
I would then restart the Clara, where it would show the few books that it had managed to process in my library, and only once I'd connected & disconnected from a computer would it start the old import/processing thing again, only to get stuck on the dead battery screen again.

I tried it again with a different card today Samsung EVO again, 64GB this time, with a clean disc image from @Davidfor.
I wasn't paying close attention when transferring from Calibre & moved too many books over in one go. Which caused the battery screen to come up again. Ironically, good that it happened before I moved over all the books I want on there.

As I said, I've tried looking for a solution online and either no one else has is, or I not searching for the right thing.
But thinking of my good old Aura original, it has the standard internal SD card, and a large one in the external, and on the few times I've had to factory reset it, the Aura does take a while to process the external books, but it does do it with no issues.

I was thinking that maybe my Clara is faulty somehow? Or is it something that Kobo put in place to make us re-think replacing the SD cards in the first place?

What do you think?

Many thanks
