Review on SanDisk® MicroSDHCTM 8GB Memory Card by Nick Morales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fake micro sd cards or very poor quality control

Bought in 2017, this week I finally tried it for a raspberry pi project. After I wrote to them once, the cards stopped working. Troubleshooting: I tried reading them on a Raspberry Pi, then tried on a Linux laptop as well as an OSX desktop. Neither computer recognized it as a valid format, couldn't reformat, and when I finally downloaded the official SD card formatter app, it treated two micro SD cards as "32MB" and gave when trying to format them , an error page. The packaging looked legitimate, as did the micro SD cards and their SD card adapters. Either they were really good fakes, or both SD cards were equally bad.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
