I did receive a refund for the Fake Samsung Micro SD Card, so I agreed not to name them. Just be aware, I checked the sellers feedback and several people had reported the user selling fake memory cards. So the moral for me and others is to always check feedback and if someone else mentions a fake memory card, then steer clear of that seller.

When comparing print quality do a close-up of the authentic one.

Look at the Samsung logo the real one is up-to-date and the fake one is from a older version

I actually got a fake one from the first seller on that list! I just contacted them to see if it was a one off. I found your video when looking into it after suspecting there was an issue when the ancient card it replaced had faster transfers than the other!

TechWizTime I've seen the Samsung evo 256 gb micro sd card on ebay for as little as 50.00 to 70.00 They can't be real. Have you look at them on eBay And the prices they are selling for?

@arnie7975 6 лет назад

TechWizTime I bought a 256gb evo sd card from Ebay and everything looks genuine except that it's made in Korea. The edges are white and the SD card adapter is legit. Is my SD card still a fake or the real thing?

if you know its fake, you should mention them by name, so that we know not to buy from them, i don't want to buy from someone that sold a fake one even once.

@AuroraColoradoUSA 6 лет назад

Another clue, mentioned in the comments... Check to see if the "Made in..." on the package is different than on the back of the microSD. Apparently fake package says "Made in Korea" with the enclosed fake microSD saying "Made in Taiwan".

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

Quite obviously not a real Samsung Micro SD Card :) I knew it was a fake before I even opened the package but some people won't know until they have issues. Hence why I made this video so people can identify a fake Samsung Micro SD Card before they open it.

@billant2 5 лет назад

What puzzles me is, why do they even try to sell fake crap like this? Eventually people will find out, sooner or later.. and unfortunately will even loose precious picture and video when using it in a mobile phone. This just shows utter dumbness on the part of the wanna scammers... SMH! Guess the best thing to do is be proactive, and run the H2Test on every single card regardless where it was bought at.

@shawn777bo1 6 лет назад

Samsung micros are made in Korea or the Philippines and are packaged in China or sourced to consumer countries. There are fakes out there but don't get everyone all frenzied up about it. Just buy from a reputable dealer and you will be guaranteed the quality product you ordered.

Dear TechWizTime, I was having trouble with an EVO sd card I bought, and low and behold after watching your video I now know it was a fake. Now it won't even mount on my computer or phone. Thanks! I've reported the seller already. I look forward to seeing more vids from you.

I bought Samsung 32gb (class10) MicroSD memory card similar colour packaging (the fake one you showed) from ebay for £6. Nothing triggerd me to think that it was a fake card apart from your video. The print on the card and packaging looks very clear and accurate to me. Though on the back of the card said Made in Korea and model number ended up with CN as well. When I inserted my card in the slot, it showed 29.4gb available space and I ran the H2testw. Test went very well without any error. Writing speed was 18.1MByet/s and Reading speed 30.0MByet. I took the screenshot of the test result but there is no option to upload it here with the comment. Do you think its fake? N.B: forgot to mention that side of the memory card is also black. NOT WHITE.

@skaggsjohn 6 лет назад

This is from a message from Samsung "Our SD Cards used to be only made in Korea, but about a year or 2 ago, we opened a factory in the Philippines for SD Cards as well. So modern Samsung SD Cards will either say Made in Korea or Made in the Philippines."

@3dPrintCreator 7 лет назад

Great test and a good video. Only thing I don't understand is that you are not willing to tell the name of the seller as it is a fraudulent seller. You are willing to tip Ebay, etc... Then also make his name public. You gave him a chance to react on this, so it's not that he doesn't know.

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

I came to an agreement with the seller but since I have seen his feedback has filled with FAKE SAMSUNG SD CARD comments. Always check the sellers feedback especially the negative comments.

@vslingam000 5 лет назад

I bought a Samsung EVO 32GB microSD card in a red packet. Had a lot of problems formatting it. Sometimes it formats, but at many other times is says "Unable to Format". I have discarded it. Having seen you video I now realise that it is a fake.The blue packaging version is not sold at most retail stores in my country. Tks for the video.

@77MyEsha 5 лет назад

I bought a FAKE just recenlty from Ebay (in fact I've had two in as many weeks off Ebay) a 128gb Samsung Evo Plus and a SanDisc Extreme Pro 128gb The Samsung you mention here ticks every single fake box on your video. Something else I noticed too, ulike my other Genuine Samsung SD Card that I have had for years, is that on my phone it only shows up as 'SD card' where as my genuine one shows up as 'SanDisc Card', I also notice that on the back of the Samsung SD Card itself (in tiny writing) so you need a magnifier to see it, it says Made in Taiwan (and Made in Korea on the packaging) Also both fakes say 'your card is too slow. consider buying a faster card' in the Moto G4 phone. Thank you so much for this video, you have no doubt saved me from yet another fake. Incidentally the Samsung was only £9.99, fortunately I got the money back on this one, but still waiting to hear back from the seller that I bought the SanDisc from: that one was £29.99, so thought it would be OK, but it behaved in exactly the same way as the Samsung Evo in my phone - couldn't save anything to either - they just kept showing up as 'corrupted'.

@mamadetaslimtorabally7363 4 года назад

You got a South African or an Australian accent there? Good review. I like fake to be exposed so that we customers do not get duped. It's a pain in the heart that hits you when after you purchased a product and then you learnt it's a fake.

whats weird, i just received a 512gb samsung evo card, only registers 476gb, has white sides, code ends in AM, says the adapter was made in china, but the card was made in korea. so now how do i know if its fake knowing what was said here...

@martinvires8520 7 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. I recently received 4 -32 GB MicroSD Cards that literally had gold foil for the contacts. The truly sad thing is that they were sent here from the US and not shipped from abroad. The low life scum that did this should rot in data hell for the rest of their existence. I am not blaming all transactions that come from abroad, however, some jerk hole got burned and decided to create a flaming crap sandwich for others. Now I have to fight EBAY, Paypal and this bottom feeder for my money back. It takes time and that is time I lost. Of course they did not work, however, it made me test a few other cards I was suspect on for crashing in my devices or corrupting data. I used RMPrepUSB to test them and they were 8GB cards not the 64GB cards I paid for. For everyone else, spend the money through reputable places and not EBAY and get what you pay for. I have never got a bum card from Samsung direct, Dell, B&H, or Newegg. All buyers beware when you make purchases from suspect places. Sorry to rant on your post. Keeping making video's!

@martyb4815 6 лет назад

FYI, Just got done talking with Samsung C.S. and they say that it's on the back of the card it self where it was manufactured. Only two places that make their cards, one is the Philippines and the other is Korea. Just because it's written on the box does not mean that's what's inside. Yes my package said made in Korea also, but made in Taiwan on the card itself. That's a good point about the edges being white. Something for sure to look for in the future. Thanks for that tip.

@Luna9201991 4 года назад

So I purchased a 126 GB Samsung micro SD and some parts of your video point to mine being a fake but other parts point to it being real. The lettering is crisp and centered. The adaptor says Made in China and even has the white samsung logo embossed on the back. The SD card itself says made in phillipines on the back. The only thing that tips me off is that the edges are black. Is it possible that it is just a unit that happened to pass through quality control with black edges or is it for sure fake if a unit has the black? It seems like everything else on it is perfect so I'm hesitant to write it off so quickly.

@MrSunny2290 7 лет назад

i have samsung evo 32 gb memory card made in taiwan having 29.27 free space is it real? or all cards made in taiwan are fake?

@TechWizTime 7 лет назад

29.27GB sounds like a legitimate card. It's only when a few things add up that you should consider it may be a fake. The ultimate test is using the tools and testing the whole space available. If the test doesn't complete, that's a sure sign it's fake.

@itftcomputers 7 лет назад

Run the speed test, original ones show high quality not just by the space or look, they read/write much faster than the fake ones.

@KingofKpop 6 лет назад

Samsung SD cards are mainly from Philippine and Korea. 8GB, 16GB and 32GB are mostly from Philippines while 128GB and 256GB SD cards are from Korea. No Taiwan or China made SD cards from Korea. Only adapter is from China, it even say adapter is from China.

@timothycheng8109 6 лет назад

From my experience, most fake cards say "made in taiwan".

@iammissj4030 4 года назад

Oh god, I also bought Samsung Evo SD card too which is 128 GB and is made in taiwan ...my problem is , i have noticed every after 3 days, my SD card says can't write and some of my files also can't read.. T.T I'm tired of formatting my SD Card. I regretted buying this card.

@mrclaytron 6 лет назад

Good video (I'm a bit late to watch!) What is annoying is I watched a video of some dude supposedly reviewing a Samsung 256GB EVO card, and saying how its no good etc... then we find out he got it on Amazon from some seller. That actually infuriates me just as much as the sellers of fakes! Samsung have exceptional standards for their products, so people whining on RU-vid should check they have the real deal before they try to soil the reputation of what are essentially the best SD cards money can buy! Cheers

@TheMegstone 4 года назад

I wish you would zoom in on the upper right window where you are checking the card as I am having trouble finding where to click as I can not read as too small and not exactly sure what you are clicking on to check hardware write speed, etc.

@dolly4359 5 лет назад

I have a question... I just got a Samsung microSD EVO Select with 256GB. Everything matches what you said about it being real, except for one thing... The back says made in Korea... But I had to remove a sticker (which I didn't even notice that it was a sticker until I saw the edge of it.) But on the sticker was all the exact same info that was under it except the sticker said "Made in Philippines". While under it in that exact spot it said on the casing of the Samsung package, it says Made in Korea. I intend to test it tomorrow, I just wanted to let you know that it's passed all of the marks for the test you have set, just not the Korea part. It even says "Adapter made in China and guaranteed for one year" next to the "Made in Korea". So could the fakes just be getting better, or are Samsung really sending goods out of Korea now?

@toritori2299 4 года назад

Yo I have a question! The card I want to buy says "32 Evo PLUS", with the plus under the Evo, instead of "Evo+"... Is that Normal for a real one?

@Lunas2525 6 лет назад

korea or philippines is an indicator of it being genuine if it is china or taiwan big indicator of fake samsung card. as samsung only has plants in south korea and philippines you will only ever get genuine cards from those 2 locations. also samsung has a patent on the white edge design for exactly this reason. further bad news you are not safe from sellers of repute amazon had a supply contamination in their own stock so it is literally gambling if you get a real card or fake... best advice is to test your card if it doesn't pass scratch and sniff test and a write + verify then return it.

@KK-bx1qm 6 лет назад

Think im about to find the same thing - test pending. Switch also

@billant2 5 лет назад

The old adage "You get what you pay for!" certainly hold true with SDCards... Best advice is to buy it from a local big box store (forget online!), which will reduce the chances of ending up with fake cards significantly. As a tip, regardless of where it was brought from, simply run the H2Test on every single card to avoid being scammed. ;)

@yourlocalbi 7 лет назад

Crazy thing is, if you buy Samsung cards in the Philippines, it's made in Korea. 😂

I bought a fake one on ebay. the seller sent me a return label I put it in my mail box to be returned and it shows no scans that I returned it. I just got screwed over. I called the post office to find out what is going on and they are to be talking to my mail person to see what happen. I live in the country and it's an easy to explain package as my return label came out the size of a sheet of paper. it's huge so i put it in a big padded envelope. so they should remember it.

@artman102 5 лет назад

The problem is that buyers do a simple test, put it in their cell phone and then leave good feedback for seller. It may take weeks or months before they notice that some or many photos are missing. Photos like baby's first steps. dash cam video missing after an accident.etc, In the meantime, others see the good feedback and buy more.

@jigarpatel1978 5 лет назад

There's a Samsung memory card authentication utility off of the Samsung website that verifies it. Use that. Upvote this so others see. Your package should tell you by saying "authentication available" with a check mark on back, which means you can check with this software when SD card inserted.

@DardaniaLion 3 года назад

Hi, I have a question. I got this sd card from a seller and the package says Made in Korea and the code behind is also CN and not EU. The Micro SD has passed the test with this software h2testw_1.4 without any errors. Is this a good fake or the real one?

@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 3 года назад

So having finally learned some German , I was able to download h2testw software and ran it on a suspect 64GB EVO plus card from eBay. Test finished without errors. You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again. Writing speed: 18.0 MByte/s Reading speed: 31.7 MByte/s H2testw v1.4 Are these good results, because the packaging says write speed of up to 60MB/s and read speed up to 100MB/s Is this 18.0MG/s software or hardware limitations ?

@ZeldagigafanMatthew 5 лет назад

Prices will change as NAND becomes cheaper, but a general rule of thumb these days is $400 per terabyte or 40 cents per gigabyte for high performance parts. It can be as cheap as cents per gigabyte if performance isn't top. The cheapest you should go when getting a 128 gigabyte MicroSD card is $35. All pricing figures are based in the US dollar.

@yashaswiniv1482 3 года назад

I have purchased Samsung memory of 128gb , there it has written 100 MB/s read speed and 60 MB/ s write speed is it fake and it says manufactured in Korea and adapter in China guaranteed for one year warrenty for adapter is if fake please reply

@zackkahn6992 3 года назад

I'm confused. My mem is made in 'Korea', the adapter is made in China (1 year guarantee for adapter mentioned), punch hole through the card, white edges on the memory card and the bar code says EU (im from the UK). So apparently a lot of the signs indicating authenticity are there but it's made in Korea. Can anyone assure me I don't need to worry about it being unauthentic/original? Would appreciate an opinion..

@ironnerd2511 5 лет назад

I have also had similar problems with pen drives sold at very low prices. Having much less capacity, and failing to write files even though the software reported successful write. I am also suspicious about items at very low price with very far shipping dates and wide range of arrival dates. They never arrive. If you contact the seller they react very apologetic asking to wait a little longer please. I have agreed and it doesn't arrive. Contact again and they said they will ship another item. Finally, at the end they issue a refund. This happened enough times to be a noticeable pattern. To me is a tactic because some buyers at developed countries don't care to track items of very low value. But the currency exchange rate makes it significant for the seller at one of these third world countries. They are betting on the chance that buyer will not remember the purchase or won't take the time to reclaim or even won't know how to use eBay features to follow up. They keep the money and don't deliver. I contacted eBay to inform this tactic, but I believe there is nothing in the eBay system to detect the scam. What I do is not to buy memory devices at ridiculous low prices.

Does this apply to all Samsung micro SD cards? or the EVO only?

@Weareonenation303 3 года назад

The fake you got has the correct number font, most fakes I've seen have a different number font which makes these fakes easier to weed out. Never purchase Micro SD cards online without being able to see pics unless you are buying directly from Samsung or Sandisk, way too many fakes in the wild. Ebay has a load of fakes right now, if seller uploaded non stock pics, you can kind of tell if the SD card is fake by looking at the card and packaging.

ya.. i got one from aliexpress very good quality printing. looked great. but when i tested the speed it was not what it was supossed to be.

@a1smith 6 лет назад

Why did you not report the seller? You're complicit in them selling further fake cards. Even more so if you don't get a refund.

This video helped confirm my suspicions that the Samsung MicroSD card that I bought from an online retailer was a fake. This was really helpful! Thanks for uploading this :-)

If you get a fake cards you may directly contact Samsung for instance or even the police as iris considered as fraud and is usually taken seriously

How to tell it's fake without having bought it? Most photos don't show the angles.

@damonbfpv 3 года назад

its still happening now ,i got one labeled as "genuine" but the word "trademark" is spelt wrong on the back it says "trademakrs"

@marckydasaint8730 4 года назад

Why was, "Made in Korea," a tip-off to being counterfeit, when Samsung is a Korean tech company? That's like saying that a Nikon or Canon is fake because it said, "Made in Japan."

@talentseekrs 3 года назад

Would have been nice to see the print on the real one so we can compare..

@Ismael_jagne 4 года назад

Thanks bro, just today I went out looking for Samsung sd card 64gb but unfortunately I saw that the orange colour one which is made in Korea and I remember watching your video on which you give a clear information about the fake and the real one. Thanks anyway ..

@coolvideoish 6 лет назад

Quite frankly, local stores sell cards at costs very similar to the lowest prices on the internet. Therefore, memory cards and USBs are some of the items that I only buy locally.

I bought several sdcard and everytime they turned out fake ,I found on the 64gb if I put more than 7gb on card it corrupts the files .I bought another one from a new seller and exactly the same if fact everytime I would buy a new one from different people not all from ebay but they turned out corrupt, I can only assume the whole of Europe and Asia is infected with thousands of them in the end I spent over two hundred GBP on cards only to trash them .Its not one make I tried all the top and some cheap and no where was spared .in the end I bought from a over priced shop but it was alot cheaper than buying a card 5 or 6 times

Hey techwiz , it will be very helpful if you can make a performance comparison of micro sd card and HDD

@davidbrown8303 6 лет назад

I almost got a Samsung memory card a couple of days ago. I think the only way to get a real one is to order from the Samsung company it's self and just pay a little more. Thanks for the information.

@aBunnyThatWillChewOnYourCables 7 лет назад

If I buy off the Amazon website, and I choose the one which says "dispatched from and sold by amazon" do I still have a chance on getting a fake one? Does anybody have any experience with this?

@Windsiusiu 5 лет назад

I bought my 256g Evo from BestBuy. The back cover lower left corner says "Made in Korea Adapter made in China and guaranteed for one year". You mean to tell me BB sells fake cards?

@hardeepsharma3940 6 лет назад

I have a Samsung sd card. Made in Taiwan. But in this data is not running. Give Any solution.

@si604 6 лет назад

well, problem is... there are scamming ebay/amazon sellers who use a fake photo of the card and ship out the fakes so you have no idea until you receive it. The other sign of possible fakeness is price as in.. if its ridiculously low priced.

@altoburger9692 6 лет назад

I got a card off ebay (a 64gb Evo with a 60MB/s write speed and a 100MB/s read speed) - was a bit sceptical at first as it was about half the price of the ones sold in store but I guess curiosity got the better of me and I bought it.... I've done the tests you mentioned and the speed seems to be fine when writing/reading on the computer, however when I use the card in my drone to shoot in 4K in 100mbps (approximately 12-13MB/s), I keep getting errors and the drone will stop recording saying the SD card is too slow. Out of all the other things you mentioned, the only thing different from my packaging to what you mentioned is the "Model Code" next to the barcode. Mine has /APC - different from the "official" ones and also different from your fake one being /CN. Seeing as this video was made about 2 years ago, no doubt counterfeiters watch videos like this and improve their fakes........ what do you think the chances are that mine is a fake?

@agarwal_vivek 6 лет назад

what is the difference between Class 10 Grade 1 and Class 10 Grade 3 ?? And also let me know, Which is better ? Thanks

@brianadams1503 5 лет назад

Bought a 128Gb Samsung. Can't even run a test, laptop, desktop, phone and tablet wont even recognize it. Mine was exactly like yours, Korea, CN, Black edges, etc. And the sd adapter fell apart in my hand!

He must be really comfortable, his V neck has turned into a U neck. My mother in law bought me a 128gb Samsung card from a flea market and it turned out to be 32gb. black boarder and all. It works fine, she paid about what a 32 cost anyway so I'm not worried about it.

Thanks mate! This really helps. Was planning to buy one and wus considering buying one on OLX Whichs way cheaper than Amazon. But I guess when it comes to these memory cards it's wiser to spend a little extra and be safe than sorry.

Can you do a video on fake Kingston Sd cards... its so hard to tell. I even bought one from a retail seller and still ended with something that was fake. I ended exchanging it back for cash. 99% of all Kingston Sd cards on ebay are all fake as well.

@JTManuel 7 лет назад

A few months ago I bought a 128GB samsung microSD card for less than a quarter of its original price (what a steal, right). when i used it, it could only read and write up to 10GB and whatever it stored in the available storage, it became corrupted. fortunately the seller (lazada) refunded me. and as per your advice, i checked the packaging and saw that it says "made in korea"instead of "made in the philippines" (i'm from the philippines, so, yey!). thanks for this video, it will help me a lot in the future when i buy new memory cards (i only use samsung memory cards).
