SanDisk Micro SD cards has been around in the mobile spare part market for as far back as two decades and this was due to the originality of their products and its durability. Unfortunately, this particular memory card is the most pirated Micro SD in Nigeria(I trust my Aba Boys) thereby making it hard to get an original SanDisk Micro SD card in most Nigerian smartphone hub because the market has been flooded with the pirated copies. Most Nigerians do not have beforehand knowledge about these things before rushing to computer village to get a memory card for their newly bought phones,mp3 player, card reader e.t.c. Simply because brothers watch out for each other,I am going to highlight how you can easily spot a fake memory card whenever you have the need for one;


*Container/ SD Card label

If the information on the memory card pack is not the same with whats on the memory card itself, simply ask for another one with matching information e.g. if SDXC is boldly printed on the memory card pack and the maker of the memory card itself i.e. the label on the memory card is MicroSDHC, kindly move to the next and to the next until you find one that is original.

*Unboxing

When you remove the pack to get the main thing i,e the memory card, an original SanDisk SD Card is protected by a fine cut white paper while the other one does not have any form of protection whatsoever.

*Card Reader

One of my close pals bought a memory card the other day and guess what? The instructions on the memory card reader was written in Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba and the worst part is the fact that the SD Card did not last up to a week before it started misbehaving. What I am saying in essence is, if you notice this kind on inscription on the card readerof the memory card you wanna buy, kindly move to another shop.

*SD Card(rear view)

The front side of an original SanDisk memory card has its serial number written with faded brown and China is boldly wriiten as the manufacturing company. This can be easily confirmed by taking the memory card under a bright light in order to see the almost faded inscriptions.

I hope the next time you are in need of a memory card for any of your gadgets you will put the above points into consideration in order not to fall for the cheap scam of some jobless Nigerians. Kindly like our Facebook and Twitter page for more updates.

those ones are original

Thanks for the enlightenment..

That's right and some custom ROMs damage sdcards so you might blame the marketer while the fault is from you. Also my stock GTS5282 ROM spoilt three original sdcards I bought. Good sdcard brands I know are Iconix, Eagle, Kingston and SanDisk too but orignal SanDisk is hard to come by.

I would have love to see how d original SDcard look like cos buying fake card could be so frustrating

By "abv" you mean abbreviation?

I perfectly understand your point. Personally, i don't like abbreviations when typing, but the guy you quoted do, just like most peeps nowadays. I read it and strictly mind my business as they can't do without it.

nice one bro sorry brother i respect your post

D two main memory card I know now is just active and eagle. Advance is supposed to be among but d pirated version is much now

checkout eagle memory card,they also make sense and are durable,been using my 32gb for almost 4 months,no glitches


the last memory card I used ironically was sandisk and was actually giving me problems.


and peeps b4 buying SD cards,first of all make sure u have SD card insight in ur phone,it will tell u the date of production, original size of the memory card,the manufacturer,serial no etc.but a fake one won't display anything.

OK....

check my signature

Mine is obviously genuine.. Been using it for the past two years without any hitch

Y spoiling my biznez

Now I see why your points were so shallow. You have to be in Lagos and possibly a merchant in Computer Village to be able to make sound comparisons between fake and original memory cards. Any stupid manufacturer of fake cards can easily bypass all your points yet his cards are fake

I bought a mcard of 2G and met 8gig space on it, and was very happy untill i received 27 pictures and told me space full

When you want to buy 32gb for 1k..and think you are smart..

Real recognise real.
