Flash constantly failing

I am trying to flash Hass.io to my SD card following this article: Raspberry Pi - Home Assistant But everytime I try flashing it stops at 99% validating and says “Flash Failed” I tryed multiple SD cards and SD card readers. I also tryed a downloaded image and “Flash from URL”, both didnt work. The Console (STRG+SHIFT+I) Says:

Error: Source and destination checksums do not match: 9bf68081d38a4b6d !== 4ef30572685fb9a1
at Object. (C:\Users\speeter\AppData\Local\Programs\balena-etcher\resources\app\generated\child-writer.js:3780:44)

at runMicrotasks ()
at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)

Does anybody have a idea how to fix that?
(Sory for my bad english)

Aditional Info:
I tryed it in a Linux VM and it gives me the same error

Hi,

What brand are your SD cards? An error of Source and destination checksums do not match: 9bf68081d38a4b6d !== 4ef30572685fb9a1 seems to indicate that there’s something wrong with the card. See: /dev/disk2: Source and Destination checksum do not match: blah blah

You could try following this guide to see if there is something wrong with your SD card: Verifying the integrity of an SD card

Thanks, let us know!

I use a Raspberry pi branded 16G SD Card and a Class 10 DM Poppstar card

I fixed it by using another slot on the sd card reader
