What is really annoying is that I spent 90mins taking photos of my child playing in a football match at the weekend and not only have nothing to show for it, but have no chance of that opportunity again. In addition, you should advise eBay as soon as possible. We do advise you to contact the seller for a refund. "Based on the information provided, I regret to confirm that the part is not a genuine Kingston product.

I sent the details off with photos to Kingston Technical Help for verification and they confirmed that: This was more like a 2GB class 4 card with a Kingston label. So it looked like there was a problem with the card as it was only reading 1.9 Gb and the speeds were low for a class 6.

I used the software program H2testw to run a test on the card and here is the report:ĭetails:29.3 GByte overwritten (61480240 sectors)Ġ KByte slightly changed (< 8 bit/sector, 0 sectors)įirst error at offset: 0x000000002fa2a028

I thought that this was strange and so investigated further. I took a lot of photos using my Canon DSLR Camera and everything was going fine until I tried to transfer them from the Camera to the PC… Only a handful of photos transfered over and the rest become corrupt. I have just experienced a similar problem with a 32GB Class 6 Memory Card purchased from Hong Kong on eBay. Buying anything from a marketplace seller is very similar to buying that item off eBay. Amazon also allows individuals to sell items through Amazon and they are called Amazon Marketplace Sellers. A card bought from Amazon directly is probably going to be a good card. It has to pass both tests before you can feel safe that it is valid.Īmazon and Amazon Marketplace are different. If you are still inclined to buy a Micro SD card off eBay or Amazon Marketplace, be sure to test it as soon as you get it with H2TestW and call the supposed maker of the card with the numbers. Sadly once the trouble begins, the buyer has already lost many pictures and files they thought were being captured and saved. Thus people are willing to post positive feedback for the seller before the trouble begins. What I have seen in regards to these counterfeits is they appear to work initially. If you see an auction for a Kingston Class 6 32GB Micro SD card, it is a counterfeit.

For example, Kingston does not make a Class 6 32GB Micro SD card. I have also been vigilant on checking out eBay auctions and getting the auctions closed when the user states something in the auction that indicates the card is counterfeit.

Fortunately, I was able to prove my case and got full refunds for all of them. I have bought 4 cards from various online sellers (eBay and Amazon Marketplace Sellers) and ALL were counterfeit. If it is from eBay and the price is incredible it is most likely a counterfeit. Having said all that, you really need to consider the source of where you are getting the card. As good as SanDisk may be, even a faulty genuine card would fail using H2TestW. You would still need to collect all the nearly microscopic letters and numbers on the card and call SanDIsk support to see if they can decode those numbers and match it up to being a valid SanDIsk product. It only provides a good test to see if the card is working properly. It does not actually verify that it is a counterfeit. H2TestW will test if the card is any good.
