All of u saying reputable store, I once bought a 64gb card from SLOT, which I believe is reputable enough. I took the card home, transfered my videos and music files, and once 8gb was transfered it stopped transferring and corrupted any other added file. This means that the card had only 8gb real space, even though it's written 64gb and when inserted into d PC or phone it shows 64gb too. I returned and asked for a replacement. They did, but the other one was the same. I had to make them refund me my money Zahra. 3 Likes |

Realtol:Sir MMC and MICRO SD have different architecture. They cant fit into the same slot. Meanwhile, part of the change we pray for is that Nigeria Standards Organisation will sit up and stop the importation of substandard products. |

i recently bought a 16GB iconix SD card but it only worked for 3 days after which it automatically turned into read only i.e you can only see what is inside the SD card but you can't add or delete anything in it. I'll advise you to buy a Samsung micro SD card because they are more durable. |

Realtol: Brother, its like u know the best. I have been in this game and I have sold so many to nairalanders and non nairalanders on this single platform. My reputation on this business speaks volume of my success stories. Yet I have no complaint from my buyers all over Nigeria. Take a sip and read all through my thread. I have stated how a genuine memory card can be spotted when u use software application to test the card and the physical qualitites to watch out for : serial number on the card. https://www.nairaland.com/1853577/genuine-class10-advance-microsdcard-16g32gig64g/1 1 Like |

PietroRico:First, at different times, I've dealt and sub-distributed memories(memory cards, flash drives, hard disks, RAMs) for LG,HP, SANDISK, ADATA, etc but currently deal with Transcend. I've been in this business of memories for over 10yrs SO U CAN TRUST ME ON THIS. I give customers 1 yr warranty for every product purchased. Second, disregard the following: Good memory card NECESSARILY have to be costly Reason: The fake m.card sellers know this misconception so hike the price of d fakes to lend originality to them. 2. The smaller the size of d m.card, d more durable. This is fallacious Reason: Durability is a function of originality. The average memory has a lifespan of 5yrs. By that I mean if used continuously ( 24/7) NOW TO THE CRUX OF THE MATTER ------------------------------------------------------------- Always buy cards of higher classes. In Ng, we commonly hv classes 4, 10 and 12 The higher d class, the faster the speed with wch data is saved to and retrieved/read from the card. E.g it will take a longer time to copy a 10mb file to a class 4 card than a class 10 card. Hence u will hear ppl say d m.card dey slow. For a given m. Card size (e.g 8gb) d one of a higher class is considerably (not outrageously) costlier than its lower class counterpart. So a class 12 8gb card will cost more than a class 10 8gb memory card. THE CLASS OF D CARD IS WRITTEN AS A NUMBER PLACE INSIDE d LETTER U. So on a class 4 mem card, u will see d number 4 written inside capital letter U. U can tell an original m. Card in 3 ways First, 1. By d quality of print on d card. On d frontside of a Transcend card, for example, the same word will be printed, also d size of d card is printed. Eg. Transcend 4gb is printed. So Is it d print smudged ('peeling')? Are some texts darker/bolder than d others? For an original card, the prints and their edges r sharp, uniform, are not 'peeling'. all texts are of d same print clarity. 2. Turn the back of d card. This side has gold lines and is d side that sometimes carry a gold chinko-like sticker (people mistake for originality) The gold sticker is NOT the sign of originality. For an original card, TWO THINGS ARE ETCHED into the card. One: Made in Taiwan(or any other country) Two: the serial number of d card. NOTE: I said ETCHED, NOT PRINTED in white paint That is, the above information is 'scratched/scrapped' into the card as if with a needle/sharp object. So if u scratch this info wt ur nails, u k feel it is written into the card so it's rough and not smooth NOTE: If all u see is a gold color sticker, the card is fake. U don't need to c Ds sticker ( Transcend m.cards, for example, do nt carry ds sticker) If d serial number and country of manufacture are printed and note etched, the card is fake. If the two info pieces r absent, the card is fake. Method 3 ---------------- Here, the card is connected to a sys, this method is technical and will require a video or lengthy and highly illustrated tutorial. And that's not sth I can do here. But the two methods above, especially method 2 will more than suffice in procuring a memory card. Also any original memory seller like my humble self, should be CONFIDENT enuf to give u a 100% warranty shd u ask. So ask for at least a 1yr warranty. By 100% i mean, shd d card be returned, the seller checks for physical damage- scratches, burns, damage by water etc- and if all r absent should replace the card at NO COST and 1yr warranty shd starts counting on d new card. For (bulk) purchases n further info, PM me 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Sd cards come in different classes, so depending on d classes 1-10 class 1 being Chinko and class 10 original, also dey have life span, although all have been pirated, anyway if u really interested buy a class 10 SanDisk it's green and red and costs around 5-10k. I have 4 of such cards and I have been using each one for over three years, also I have sold for countless persons too. |
