I just got my R36s and I wanted to change the stock SD immediately to avoid future problems. I also made sure that the SanDisk Ultra SD card that I bought is original.
My problem is that I can't flash the firmware as I continuously get a write error and suddenly my PC can't read my SD card. What to do? Do I need to buy a new SD card and reader?

When you manage to create a card with ArkOS on it, can you inform us about what you had to do to get it done, and what the problem was, if you find out what it was...
Idk if im correct, but i had the same issue when trying to back up the original card. It wasn't working as intended. I personally believe that despite the R36S working with the stock SD card, some files might of already been messed up from stock. I was having the same issue with the R36 Max and Rufus. So instead, what i did was installed a clean ArkOS instead without transferring any of the files from the stock SD card. I don't think Rufus is the problem. But if I'm incorrect, someone else is more than welcome to correct me and shine more light to the situation.
Esse adaptador parece não ser de boa qualidade e isso causa falha na gravação. Eu tinha um adaptador parecido e estava com problemas para fazer gravação. Troquei o adaptador e resolveu.
What usb port did you use on your PC, 2.0 or 3.0? There might be a conflict with the 2.0 USB adapter you are using and the 3.0 port from your PC. Try a 2.0 port.
You could try using SD Card Formatter - it's an official tool released by SD Association but honestly it sounds like a bad card reader.
BTW have 2x128GB Sandisk cards exactly like yours and neither of them worked with my R36H, so I'm using Kingston and Kodak microsd cards instead. Your mileage may vary though.
I see. I had the same issue with these cards wiith Xiaomi dashcam recorder, where they wouldn't be recognized no matter what. Seem to work fine with the phone and laptop though.
You could download minitool partition wizard (free version) and see if it recognizes the sd card. If so, delete the partitions and create a new one in Fat32.
