2GB Sandisk MicroSD Card on Ebay - Real or fake ???

Hi,
does anyone know whether this is a real or fake offer:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2GB-SanDisk-mic...151690QQihZ011QQcategoryZ118260QQcmdZViewItem
They don't offer a noname product but mark it "Sandisk" (I can remember that the first *Mini*SD - not MicroSD - on the market was a no-name product, Sandisk only followed a while later).
USD 99 wouldn't be too much for this high-end flash memory, but for a fake it definitely would be too much.
(Of course also the additional costs for shipping and import tax would have to be taken into account, but maybe a dealer could be found to import it and retail it to us - provided this product really exists already.)
Any feedback on that ?

The MicroSD 2GB is the real deal, and so is the eBay seller flashman852. I have done business with him before and right now I am awaiting yet another flash card from him. He has positive feedback from 112.000+ unique users and negative from less than 1.000. I'd say that's a pretty good record, although now perfect.

I agree. It's the real deal. MicroSD started life as TransFlash then got adopted as an SD format, since it's compatible via an SD adaptor.

I bought one from another eBay seller on July 2nd for my 8125. It's worked fine since then and I have a bit over 1.5Gb of data on it, with room to spare

Seems the Seller I used only charges half the price too. And they were very pleasant to deal with.

No you didn't.
MicoSD IS NOT MiniSD.

Oops, you're right. I didn't know there was such a thing.

Well mine didn't appear to be genuine
Bought a Qumox card from the same ebay seller flashman852.
Worked fine for initial tests but when the card started to fill it broke.
Now it wont even format and they are being difficult about a refund.
Will now only buy direct from Amazon, 7 Day shop or similar reputable seller.
Search for an article using fakeflashtest.

Which microsd to get?

Hey there,
Im looking on ebay to buy a 32microsd card but not sure which to get some say TF and some dont, which do you guys recomend for this phone
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I'VE bought on ebay twice, Sandisk SD and MicroSD, and both times they proved to be counterfeit - the crazier part was, they looked real - fortunately sandisk has a page on their web showing the idiosyncrasies to the counterfeit cards out there
something like that i'd suggest buying from a reputable dealer like newegg.com etc
just a suggestion
and there's a thread already started on this topic with some interesting info in it

What Larry said; don't buy memory from ebay, it's too easy to counterfeit and you have no idea what you are getting.

is that not illegal?
to sell something that isnt advertised that way

yes it's illegal, but there are so many folks doing it it's impossible (i assume) to arrest them all
both of the sellers i bought from had real high "positive feedback" on ebay (one had 10,000+ positive)

I bought my 32gb sandisk from ebay, here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270601021356&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

yours might be legit but check this thread
http://communities.sandisk.com/sandisk/board/message?board.id=ultra2&message.id=28
forget whether it was on ebay or on sandisk's site but there are so many fakes, one of the two sites had photos showing legit ones side by side with fakes so you could see the subtle printing differences on the cards
the two i got would work, but were slow as hell writing

Micro Sd help buying off ebay uk

Heyy
I wanted to buy a micro sd card in UK for.my nexus one possibly 16gb or 32gb...i looked over at ebay and price of 32gb is.quite weird as its only under £25 and 16gb is of about £20...has any of u bought it from ebay uk before?? I need to be sure if the.cards.are not fake
Thanks

90% of them are fake so be careful do research and go on and buy one if you like to gamble.

Agreed.
It's probably fake. Most people are not stupid. Even if they are not tech savvy they can easily find out what an item is worth and charge appropriately.

128GB Micro SD Memory Card real or fake.

I found out about two weeks ago there was a 128 gb micro sd out, and it was going for $200, but if you pre ordered it with Amazon you only paid $119.00, but you had to wait 4-6 weeks for it to be sent to you. I didn't have the extra funds in my account to get this.
So i said to myself i'll wait, and get it when i have to extra cash to spend. Now that i have it, Amazon is no longer selling it at that price.
here's why on the bottom of of the amazon page.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...d=&coliid=&condition=new&me=&qid=&seller=&sr=
But i found this on Newegg and i wonder if it's, because i can't find this product on the web.
But if it is, it's only $69.95 with extras....Please reply and help me make a choice.

Here are my rules with buying flash:
1) "never buy flash sd or micro sd from online retailer. Period!
2) only buy flash sd or micro sd from a store with an excellent return policy such as bestbuy or futureshop.
Yes you'll pay premium dollar but the reality is there are fake memory cards everywhere and the retalers don't even know they are selling it and if they don't even know they are selling it, good luck proving it!
Also 69 is way too good to be true! you need at least clash 10 on android and and heck Sandisk is the only memory card manufacturer that has proven their use on android, if it not Sandisk, forget about it!
I hate fake memory cards, worst thing about them is how much time you invest in trying to fix them! You spend the first week in denial that you could possibly been sold a fake memory card and spend all this time formatting and re-formatting them with different applications and operating systems, try different roms, different kernel combinations, posting help because your rom is acting buggy, lose data? and all the while reason for all your woes has been due to using a fake memory card.

Very probably fake, i was buying mine twp months ago and the one with the largest storage was 64 gb. More than enough for 99% of uses.

That wouldn't even work for our phone. You going to use it on the Find 7 or something?

I got mine from Amazon for the $119 price a couple of weeks ago. I formatted it to Fat32 with 8k clusters...no issues at all. Card is detected at proper size and is detected in custom recovery fine also.

Works just fine, as has been shown numerous times. At the moment the specsheet for the S4 was made there were no 128GB cards.
So I assume you just looked at the specs to get that (wrong) assumption?

128GB SD cards will work with our phones with a SD to MicroSD adapter. i use one now.
in fact it will go up to 256GB
NOTE must be formatted to Fat32 to best compatability, also depending on your kernel.

Sandisk are making some (soon) though?

The 128GB card works on the S4, even though I have mine in my Note 3.

I believe he was talking about the Samsung from Newegg. This is definitely fake. As said before, anything above 32GB is SDXC, not SDHC like in the picture. Also Samsung has not yet releases 128GB. Also, look at the picture. "12" is of a different font /size than "8". The reviews for the seller "Redtagonline" has 2 stars out of 5. Just preorder from Amazon. Make sure you format it as either Fat32, or eXFat if your Kernel supports exFat

Have you actually copied files/data to it to fill it to its advertised capacity?
Sent from my rooted GS4 running GoldenEye 26 while holding a homebrew.

Man, Amazon still advertising @ $119 but been out of stock forever.

I have the Sandisk 128gb from Amazon in my S4, it works great without problem.
The micro sd to SD card adapter that comes with the micro SD did not work with either PC or Mac, so I had to plug my card into my card reader instead, which worked fine.

I've had better luck with returns with Amazon than with Worst Buy which will never get my business again. To each his own.

Can anyone recommend a Ebay or Amazon seller to buy a 32 or 64gb SD card from?

I bougt one of Ebay but it was a fake., after a month or so my pictures got the grey box

Are you UK based or not?

If you are in the U.K try 7dayshop.com or mymemory.co.uk or picstop.co.uk, I have been using them for years and in the respect of 7dayshop, their own brand is also trustworthy.

Good call, was going to recommend 7day also! :highfive:
Their 64GB micro sdcard is only £22, but out of stock at the moment, their 32GB card is also reasonable at £13.

I would only buy a card on Amazon if it was "SOLD" and "FULFILLED" by Amazon.
I would not buy one that was only fulfilled by Amazon.
Never from eBAY.
I bought a 128GB card from Amazon. -> Amazing...

Someone else psoted this, and its currently out of stock but worth keeping an eye on.

local stores are best. However they don't have all sd cards you can find on the internet, but they have class 10, 6, 4 and 2 sd cards.
I have bought a class 6 16gb for 20 euro, samsung mark, never had problems with it. Only one time the partition was damaged (RAW partition), fortunately I could recover my data with TestDisk

I bought this one (32GB) a week ago and it's working great with a one year warranty. Also available in other sizes in this same link. Plus it's inexpensive and brand name. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FIYF0OE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi
I bought a samsung pro 64gb sdxc from ebay member ''evelectron_tech''
Seems to be good store but will see.

I bought a 64GB on amazon through a partner and was burned with an 8GB fake. Even if the card "works" you need to fill it up AND test the files to see if it works. Amazon did refund promptly and I settled on a more reputable seller on Amazon (SoCal Trade). Reviews are your friend, and if it's too new to have any reviews, avoid.

Go to bestbuy and for a few dollars more you can get the sandisk 128gb which is out now. Works beautifully on our S4

How much is the 128GB one?

I got mine for 115.

I recommend
Samsung Electronics 16/32/64GB EVO Micro SDHC 48MB/s Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MP32DA/AM)

I'd get this one:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...CKqu_TXKRWJYG1hoCet3w_wcB&Q=&is=REG&A=details
they've got that car in stock cheaper than anywhere and have close to 160,000 positive feedback left and 5 stars. That's a LOT of positive feedback
They're B&H Photography, you can see em on this list:
https://www.google.com/shopping/pro...3&sa=X&ei=TvPJU7DoENK7oQT_u4GIDw&ved=0CFwQ6SQ
but that is the fastest microSD in the world. 50% faster than Sandisk's next fastest. It's likely my next one. Consistent speed of 45 read and write. with bursts of 80 reading, 50 writing

I second this... bought the same one. Works well

apparently Toshiba released a competition-destroying MicroSD. So far all I can see is it appears to be called simply UHS-II. While every other of the top MicroSD cards are UHS-I, this one easily deserves the UHS-II designation. While the previous Title-holders were just shy of 50MB/s. This one in it's 32GB form is 260MB/s read and 240MB/s write. The 64, while significantly slower, is still much faster than the rest, reading at 145MB/s and writing at 130MB/s. Quite impressive. But I can't find a model $ or anywhere selling it
but here's the report on it:
