Counterfeit - micro sdhc, microsd

I ordered this product to increase the storage capacity of my new phone from its 8gb original capacity. Sprint wanted an additional ~$100.00 to upgrade me to 16gb or and additional $179.00 to get the EPIC with 16gb standard. I looked this up on Amazon and thought that I would try it to see if it (32gb) would work for much less than the cost Sprint was charging for 16gb.

I made the right choice and the 32gb has worked perfectly and smoothly. Now I have a 32 GB HTC EVO with as much storage and music capacity as I want.



Great and impressive memory card! SanDisk Flash 32 GB microSDHC Flash Memory Card SDSDQM-032G, Black

I was somewhat confused in ordering this, as the photo shows a Class 4 card but the product number refers to a Class 2 (per Sandisk's site). But, when I received it today (Blue Proton, fulfilled by Amazon), I verified that it's definitely a C4 card. Also, it comes with an SD adapter, so no need to worry about that.

when I first received my 32GB card I was upset to see that it did not come in factory packaging. instead it came inside a plastic carrying case with an "SD" card adapter. The adapter has both "Trademark" and "Registered" Logo's following the brand and product names. However the card itself has neither. I was very worried at this point because there is no serial on the card. Therefore no way to verify it's authenticity. So I decided to test the card in my Motorola Droid. I have successfully filled the card with Music, Movies, and Books and have had no problems so far accessing the information saved on the card. I am still convinced however that this card is in fact counterfeit. albeit a very good one.

Honestly, I could probably rate this at three stars since I actually got an authentic SanDisk card in retail packaging. But the ad is clearly advertising a class 4 card through the use of the giant class 4 display picture. This result also came up when specifically looking for a class 4. The details don't mention that "this is for a class 2 card even though the picture shows a class 4". Guess what class I received? To me, that kind of false advertising (which I have no doubt is completely intentional to drive sales but then pull the blame by saying "well, the ad doesn't specifically SAY class 4 in the text) is more than enough for me to give this item the lowest rating possible.

I ordered a particular model card and was sent a different one. The one I was sent would not work in my phone, which I knew before ordering. If I would have been sent what I ordered It would have been fine. I hate being out my money for a worthless product after being lied to

Bought this thinking it was a great deal on a 32gb card. What a worthless crock that turned out to be.



Came in some little ziplock bag like it was a couple ounces of crack or something, definitely not a retail package. Stuck it in my Cowon J3 media player, tried to transfer 6gb of files to it. Got 1/3 done then it told me the card had been removed. Really? Some of the files that actually made the transfer are unreadable, and some of the other file names are garbled. Now I can't erase anything I've transfered.



So I tried again with the card in a usb card reader. Same results. Tried to format it with the panasonic SD utility, which told me the card was write protected. No it wasn't, like all microSD cards, the damn thing doesn't even have a mechanical write-protect tab on it. And no, there was no write-protect on my card reader either, all my other cards work fine in it.



I only blame myself though. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.



In the end, I ended up driving to a local computer store to pick up a card. A lexar branded card that is, and yes, THAT one came in a retail package but the price was a bit steeper. Worth it though, knowing you're not buying some stupid chinese knockoff.
