On the packaging, "256 GB" is larger on the fake and almost touching it's border while the real one seems to fit well inside.

[@matthewjenkins1161]

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.

[@Xcepticus]

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. 🤝

[@moriti411]

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!

[@erbu360]

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

[@ebaygoer8593]

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)

[@DavidCastillo-eh9vn]

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.

[@balwek2]

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...

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.

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...

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.

[@justchuy]

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.

@@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.

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.

[@TuMundoAndroideMania]

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?

[@AnyaanyaForger]

when you buy a 128 gb and it's showing 119 gb on your phone or pc that's 100% real one but if you got above 128 gb I'm sure that's the fake one ... because device need 8-9 gb or higher for reading the SDcard

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...
