I bought the fake one without realising. It corrupted soon after doing 2 days of interviews with my grandfather before he died... and I lost all of my many gigabytes of priceless footage. Shame on the sellers.
When I started getting into dash cameras and action cameras, I I was interesting in learning the differences between the name brands, models, speed, and storage capacities of the microSDHC and microSDXC 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 400GB, and 512GB. And now, there's even a 1TB in circulation. So far, I haven't bought any FAKE microSDHC or SDXC memory cards. Thank you for going over the similarities and contrasts of the fake and real microSD memory cards. 🤝
Before you pointed out any differences on the front, the only one I noticed, was the one you didn't. That being the shadowing on the genuine around the Android figure.
thank you. I just got duped and bought a fake one unwittingly. one just has to make sure they buy at reputed computer hardware stores, not some random shop on the streets, as I just did. Lesson learnt!
Unfortunately I bought also a fake one. The copy is so good. I was wondering about the missing plastic cover on the backside. I tested my „256 GB“ card on my computer and the outcome was 29,4 GB:(( Scary thing is that your video is almost over one year old and they still sell fake cards:(
4th what i found from your video. The android figure on front cover. 1. White eye bigger on fake 2. Left hand have space from body when the original one very close with some grey colour 3. From head to body obviously can see that difference 4. Ear 5. A1 wrote thicker & bold on fake memory. There is some gap for A alphabet(middle horizontal line) on the original one
The "A1" font is clearly different between the real and fake as well... (That's the first thing I noticed! Too many years at Xerox working in an image quality group, I guess)
I just bought a 128gb one from Amazon for £11 I got £9 because it’s on limited deal and I got £5 off from Amazon, I checked it and I’m so glad that it’s real
Great Video. What I Do for testing. Just Remember the card will report the capacity printed on it. Even if it is Fake! The Usable capacity is what u can use, it's a different story. Before u bin the fake one, You can re partition it to the usable size as well. Then you got a usable smaller one! If it's fake you can get your money back too. Use an USB card Reader and copy around 60Gb Files to it. When finished. Check if any files in the directory, start from the last directory on it. No files or files with 0 size it's mean Fake...
the only true way to know if it really is true or false. It's doing the memory test. the cover varies according to the production batch, as you can see the bar codes are different, which indicates that they are from different batches. the box may have small differences due to production, it happens with all products in the world.
@@burningice1762 you can't fix a fake SD card, the only thing you can do is repartition it to it's usable size. Fake SD cards spoof their data, so they say it's a 256 when in reality it's a 1 gigabyte. It corrupts your files when you go over a gigabyte. It is not corrupted, it's CORRUPTING the files. You cannot just add 255 gigabytes to a 1 gb SD card. Because that's exactly what you're saying.
First off how do you really know it's fake? I mean manufacturer's try to cut corners all the time to lower cost and raise profits. Also not trying to sound like I'm on the side of sandisk but that stands true in any business, just go to any fast food chain and compare what you get today as appose to what you used to get years ago and the price has gone only up while the portion has gone down. Anyway I think I made my point.
Im an eBay seller and I sell those exact cards. In general fakes are getting so good it's nearly impossible to tell the difference. Ive gotten Otterbox cases from major brand retail cellphone stores that were fakes. In a year or two there will only be one difference between authentic and fake. Authentic is made in a factory in China on the left hand side of the street. Fakes are made in a factory in China on the right hand side of the street. It's nearly that way now.
Lol same with Nikes. Fakes are so good you have to use a black light, check stitching, test the new shoe smell etc all because they are made in the same materials by nearly identical factories.
@@justchuy Nikes are made in China tho, and also iphones. And basically every fake too. My favorite products all come from china if you look right, you'll be satisfied.. oh and of course.. money talks. You pay more, it's better.
dear mr luka, this is SandiscFakeProductions. we have received your review about our product and we are working to fix this as we speak and in the future we obligate to deliver our product as genuine looking as possible. thank you for your future purchases. wink wink.
Cheers Lukaz. I have probably been fooled in the past. I always thought that if it came in retail packaging it has to be real. You've shown that to be wrong ;-)
If anyone has trouble with formatting or the card is faulty, Symbian S60V3 Nokia phones can format the card to Fat32. Later, you can format it with Android. Faulty cards, such as 1 GB noname cards can’t be formatted at all.
I ordered a sandisk 128gb sd card online got it cheap, but it was printed made in taiwan on the card itself and on the pack made in china was printed and i knew it was fake they look so identical in compared to the original one.... But yes colour difference was there and shape as well the fake one was more pointy on the edges, it was showing 117gb out of 128gb i was shocked..... I did all this before i could check out yr video..... But on the internet it shows SanDisk sd cards are manufactured in 7 countries Taiwan, Japan, China, UK, Israel, Ireland and Spain... Soo now this is confusing... 😶
I bought a 256 GB SD Card then instead of copying I directly transfered my data from my cellphone to my new 256 GB SD Card, half of the files were transfered but other half were vanished that was 70 to 80 GB worth of data which contained videos and pictures that I lost which i gathered in the span of 4 to 5 years, it was agonizing for me as its not possible to recover data from fake SD CARD
the others you said, matched the original sd card, but when there was a problem on the memory card itself, the packaging said it was made in china but when it said on the sd card itself, it said it was made in taiwan
You need to download for free the software called CrystalDiskMark. This software will test the speed and size of the the micro SSD not just by the looks of the package.
I have the white one that's pretty cheap, it broke even tho I used it around 2-3 months I think. It can't recognized on my PC or phones. It broke way too easily, so I suspect it might be the imposter...
I actually could tell within 10 seconds into the video by guessing.. the depth in the green dude in the face his smile actually has depth on the right.. the right smile has a three dimensional look and the left is 2D lmao 😂
Another tell-tale sign is how much you paid for it. Many times the fake ones will be cheaper. Not always, but many times. If a 512GB real sandisk one is $85 but a cheap one os under $50, you KNOW there is something amiss.
Bro nice video. But the white line part is tricky, the 120MB/s speed sandisk micro sd card dont have white line, and i am talking about the original one.
I was hoping that you would be able to show real from fake but what you have done is to show real from fake packaging. Once the Chinese have looked at this video they will just copy the packaging and then we will really not be able to tell. You should look at the cards themselves.
I see 2 more things that he missed on the front. The little tiny R trademark logo is different one is bold one is not. The A in A1 is bolder on the left than the right.
I think we got a real one. Everything is the same, but the white line is not there. Unfortunately it is a very similar fake and not easy to differentiate but this video was really helpful.
I was just about to buy this card. Most are like $20 but an ebay seller has them for $11. Hmm. The fakes lines on Android are thicker/lighter and eyes are bigger and Rt one further to left. Border around card is bigger and around adapter thinner.
Tnx to you! I canceled my order from Amz. 1TB micro! Thank you bro, even if they ship me the real one, I just lost the interest buying this kind of small but bigger value objects!
I'll tell u a very simple way to check, just call on helpline number written on it and tell them the serial number, they will conform u if it is fake or real...🤨
Damn I bought another fake one earlier.. thanks for that info and I also checked my setting and It says there SD card has 269gb which supposed to be 256gb
both of them are real/ :) the differences varies on where they original ,factory dispatch. good example is like intel processor, some made in malaysia/rico, etc,.
There are TWO BIG WRITTEN DIFFERENCES, idk how you just missed it. First, the 256GB in RED label, is touching inside the box. Second, label "A1" font appealing is alot different.
And what speed did the one that is false give you in passing data and extracting data? I bought a 64gb but the speed to pass data is 8mb and to extract 20mb. Is it fake or what? I'm filling it to the top, what should happen if it's fake and it's full?
I bought the fake one too... this last christmas our memories with my family filmed on that sd card got corrupted. It sucks cuz I paid so much for it. Its 512Gb sd card btw.
I bought a young Ram Mobile Sd card 64 gb, but a device is evacuated actuation transfer Bs videos Maischghin gotta get out failed to run this video Henw reason، I took a breath for me, what is a solution to take maintenance if a problem is solved
Okay so my adapter said main in China the sd card is made in Taiwan it is not sealed like the real one the green bar and 14 gb is there so I can't quite tell if it's fake or not
You can always get them on Amazon and eBay. The thing is to check to make sure they are the real thing when you are gonna purchase. I just got my 400gb card today and I had to really inspect it to make sure it's not real. Planned on using it for my Nintendo Switch but it thru me off when it showed that I have 400gb of storage instead of the exact amount of space SanDisk cards provide.
Capacity- Be carefull with fakes as they make it so the card say a 64GB will show 64GB in windows- Great!! BUT-- when you put it under a tester, you discover it isnt and FAILS the test with only a portion workable at best and bad blocks. You have to test these cards as the average user sees its what it claims and gives good feedback then tries to fill up card only to find errors and loss of data and even "reformat" warning" and cant find card!! A Good card made from a reputable manufacturer PASSES the test and shows full capacity and no bad anything. You can download the testers to do this and even to check good cards for errors ect...
Every single item, dozens of them that I have price shopped on Amazon and other places, Amazon is never the lowest price even including the shipping. Jeff Bezos is not almost a Trillionaire for nothing..
Did you try to format the ,,fake" card ,,ntfs" or ,,exfat" and see again if you can store that 12 GB file on it ? Because if you used ,,fat32" format maybe that is why you can not store that 12GB file on it !
Ohh thats why maybe I bought a fake one coz it got corrupted 🙄 need help how to reformat or I need to buy new again. It canmot be read now in my laptop drive..pls help
i think they are not fake but it’s more likely how to spot a factory deffect product that can be sort of useable on a short period of time. and while the legit one came first with complete specifications and right markings so that for easy spoting of the real deal against the knock off ones... this only means that the companies found a way to deliver to the market all of their product even if it’s has factory defects products and the excellent ones... this is very helpful though.
I bought the fake one without realising. It corrupted soon after doing 2 days of interviews with my grandfather before he died... and I lost all of my many gigabytes of priceless footage. Shame on the sellers.
