"Episode 2" Fake Micro SD 16GB, 32GB, 64GB Cards from China

This is the biggest mistake I did one time.

So here's what I bought:












"Retail Capacity 16GB/32GB/64GB Micro SD TF Flash Memory Card Mobile Series class 10 SDHC with adapter Free HongKong post"

"Read 21M 7M per second per second write "
"A memory card by 100% quality test"

Too good to be true? yes it is.

These Chinese suppliers are selling 8 to 64GB SD cards (with Samsung logo on it), but true size is 3,7 GB! How?

Well, these cards are firmware modded so when you write data to this card, all your data will  be lost and corrupted which goes to the bland side of true 3,7 GB















H2testw is one of the best ways to test your SD card real size and is it genuine. 
In the picture H2testw program write SD card full of test files and now it's verifying the files. At the picture, program is showing that 3,7 GB of the files are in good condition so true size of this card is that 3,7 GB.
Other over 60 GB is lost data or "corrupted" After that 1 hour 42 minutes program show's that all data is lost except that real 3,7 GB capacity. 

And how about the read/write speed. Well true write speed was Class 4 and NOT class 10. Read speed was about 10-12 MB/s
As you can see, I have A FEW pieces of these. Maybe I get my money back, but I wish I could see the guy who manufactures these's to make him suffer.

Bottomline:
Class 4 not class 10
Write speed 5.057 MB/s top and not 7 MB/s
Read speed was 10.4 - 12 MB/s not as promised 21 MB/s
Real capacity was 3,7 GB not 16, 32 or 64 GB 

DO NOT BUY ANY STORAGE PRODUCTS FROM CHINA. This is too good to be true! 
Chinese always cheat! there it good products too but they always cheat at product specifications to make selling rate higher.
