Sandisk fake vs real | How to spot a fake SD Card | SD Card Review 🤷‍♂️👀

[@MarkTheKnife]

I've done extensive research on this too. You hit all the indicators. Great video! I don't know why 16 people would dislike this video. Some people need hate in their lives. You are helping people. Thank you for the video.

[@MominNz]

Thanks for your support.

[@Panchester013]

The ones disliking this video are the people who make fake cards.

[@paulkuan3883]

Thank you for your video to help me avoid fake sd as same as this model. Just done my place order from carousell Singapore in the morning, then when free time clink in your video found that is the fake product... OMG 😱.. then I immediately cancel the order! Thank you 😊

[@MominNz]

Glad I could help

[@NightShadow720]

I just bought myself a 1TB Extreme Pro microSDXC card. The package has a punched hole, the back says it's "Made in China", and I checked for the serial number on the back of the little memory card.

[@jprabago1714]

I was searching how to know if my Sandisk is fake or real and i found your channel. I'm glad i got an original one. Thanks for the information 👍

[@June0696]

Lol

[@grahamthompson4560]

Super video! Just got a message from Amazon giving me a refund and recommending I bin the original. As far as the cards go what is the difference?

[@SoapinTrucker]

Just another viewer here, but I think you are asking about the use of each right? Well, the fake one will NOT even come close to storing the amount of data it's supposed to. Is that what you are looking for? The bad guys take legit cards and then electronically make them THINK they can hold much much more data. HTH! :)

[@grahamthompson4560]

@@SoapinTrucker Thanks for the answer. It was to be used for photo storage on a phone so now it's dumped.

[@VaibhavShewale]

i have the all original things on packaging but the sd card was fake, now how to tackle the problem?

[@XerkoGames]

Man screw all those fake SD card makers. Got my hands on a fake Samsung SD card and my retailer kept saying 10mb/s write speed or lower is perfectly normal(what?) I contacted Samsung which swapped my card and my write speed is now 60mb/s.

[@sam4malaysia669]

Only one thing, smartphone can detect if the sd card is fake or genuine. The smarrphone model name is Htc 7 trophy. If the sd card is fake it will detect as "unknown". If the sd card is genuine, it will show the brand name on the screen. This features does'nt available on any apps , software nor any other smartphones. Htc 7 trophy is legend !

[@PrayersHour]

Thank you for this video. You are a hero ! I looked for 20 munites and I guess this one is the best video in youtube regarding this matter

[@daleadmire1451]

It would have been much better if you compared two 128gb cards together, perhaps the 256 card always has different packaging, I'm suspicious of my extreme pro 128gb card it has a sticker on the back that says made in Malaysia, I peeled that sticker back a bit it says made in China under it, is that even legal to change country of origin? Does your 128 GB card have a sticker that says made in Malaysia?

[@MominNz]

Thats strange, it shouldnt be the case that you feel off a sticker and it has a different country name.

[@daleadmire1451]

@@MominNz yes, that is very strange, however all the rest of the packaging is identical to your genuine product. I've sent the seller an email before I return it to Amazon and let them explain the situation.

[@MominNz]

@@daleadmire1451 to be honest, keep away from Amazon, Ebay, Sphock for SD cards. you best option is Argos PC World or even Tesco and ASDA Wilko are legit. The sellers does indeed needs to come up with an explanation. This fake SD card which ive shown in the video was purchased on SHPOCK and the seller constantly disagreed after 3 months of fight I got my money back. It was not the money which I wanted its the matter of principle and people should be put out of business who profit on others disasters. An sd is a very important device with maybe your memories on it and losing that is that last thing.

[@daleadmire1451]

@@MominNz thank you for taking the time for your test, I looked at your video again and it does look like there is a sticker on the packaging that says the country of origin, I'm surprised you did not notice the sticker.

[@MominNz]

Really is it. ? No I really didn’t notice

[@ozzkkrr]

Will it be infallible to see the back of the card? it seems that only fake cards have no code behind

[@MominNz]

that's a good one - I never noticed that. thanks

[@MrLeiduowen]

How do you spot a genuine reviewer? He's only wearing boxers during the review 🤣

[@peterhuge3918]

My brother ordered a 128gb sd card and received a 512gb card and his phone can only use up tp 256 but it worked on his phone it costs about 7 dollar. What would happen if he keeps usinf it

[@Kheavenly1]

Thanks. My SD card failed. I called SanDisk and was told I had a fake. I got my money back from the seller.

[@aerontomas5230]

extreme pro is good in android device? isaw its 4k recording video support and more fast write/read compare in non pro version

[@L2002]

They look same! Sandisk need to figure a way to fight those fakes.

[@cshao90]

thank you i just realize i bought 3 fake cards

[@moisesmendoza5417]

Thank you very much, I found out that my sd card is not fake 😊

[@marksatterfield]

Did you contact SanDisk to confirm it is fake?

[@reub32]

Mine is legit... Great video 👍 the sweat is gone!

[@lawrencel2544]

are there really fakes. These memory cards are all come out from the same manufacturer...fake and real

[@yumii-6212]

YOu can put thinner for 4 minutes or vinager for 1 hour , and you can see the paper fake

[@belachewmekbibe]

I bought [in South Korea] fake Sandisk 64 GB SDXC UHS-3 [made in China] for 22 US dollars!! 😢😢😢

[@ezekielsu9803]

thanks! now i know that i got original 256 extreme pro :)

[@samuelwinter4086]

Does the fake one work though?

[@nomorealone9158]

It gonna work for a couple hours then remove everything you copied there

[@SoapinTrucker]

Usually they hold MUCH MUCH less data than they should, so if you find that limit, and don't overload it, it might store data just fine.

[@DrifterMW]

Its like using a condom with a hole and saying dont overload it , gonna be safe XDD

[@belachewmekbibe]

Drain battery fast!!

[@shmuelcepeda2136]

xD all my cards say something different below that yellow box One sais the same thing he said the fake one said. But didnt have any of the other indicators. Everything was perfect. The other one was also perfect, with the exception of the last two words below that yellow box... Are we shure these are actual ways to tell if its the fake one.. Im instrested because I have some Extreme cards that are golden and others that are mustard yellow, with ugly printing. But everthing else is exactlly the same.

[@AdamForsyth-d1b]

Just received what I strongly suspect is a fake SanDisk Extreme Pro micro SD card from the dreaded Ebay, I should have known better. Turned to the Tube for some advice and guidance when I came across your video. So far you seem to have hit on everything that I have identified on my card as not been SanDisk as I know them, but the music, the sodding backing music, why? You've made a tutorial, a helpful and and I believe good one but then stuck a music track over the dialogue, why, why would you put music over your dictation, totally distracting and really, really annoying! Sorry but a good video spoilt and for what?

[@mr.critic]

Great video! 👍👍👍

[@MominNz]

Thanks

[@nectarthemanokit9607]

Where can i get a fake one? I want one not only to test but i would think it would be cool to have one lol! What i mean is like one thats modified like it was say 32gb but it says its 64gb or higher

[@nectarthemanokit9607]

Or possibly show me how its done like how to modify the partition

[@Melicoy]

Seriously? Compare packaging. Waste of time

[@mazeenspurs7158]

Nice i bought recently

[@belikewatersf1051]

Damn it I think the one I just got is a fake. Son of….

[@anisalial-maghrabi3215]

Thanks brother

[@samuelwinter4086]

If the fake ones work what's the problem

[@otszzz79]

@Soft Tofu does it also gives footage bad quality? Cos i see Filipino's here producing crappy video's with actioncams that normally give good quality. I mean, is it possible to get a crappy video with a gopro due fake sd card? Or do they just messed up the settings of the gopro in some kind of way

[@baconcow]

The fake 256 GB is likely a much slower card that has much less storage. On top of that, it will likely only last a small fraction of the time of a real Sandisk Extreme Pro.
