I am running on MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) macOS Monterey 12.0.1
balenaEtcher 1.7.0
I have tried more than 10 different img to two different micro SD and all failed.

I am having a similar issue. Attempting to flash HiveOS img to a 240gb Kingston SSD on a MacBook Pro using macOS Big Sur Version 11.6.

I receive “error: EIO i/o error, write” about 10 seconds after starting the flash each time. I have tried all 4 usb-c slots on the computer and know the SSD is not faulty.

Any tips/recommendations would be appreciated!

The logs:

Hey @dmsynergy,
I tried to reproduce the issue with the latest Etcher release (viz. v1.7.1) but could not reproduce it. I attempted flashing a 3 gig Ubuntu ISO to a SD card and Etcher flashed it in a single attempt without any warning/error.
Would it be possible for you try v1.7.1? If the issue recurs with this version, then we could dig deeper.

My machine config is:

$ neofetch --stdout | egrep 'OS|Host|Kernel'
OS: macOS 11.6 20G165 x86_64
Host: MacBookPro16,1
Kernel: 20.6.0

Thanks and regards,
Pranav

Also @dmsynergy, it would be good to try flashing to a different disk/card (just to rule out any media related idiosyncrasies).
