So you are not referring to either the op nor my post from 7 dayshop?

Memory prices have fallen to these levels, so for me at lease, whilst fakes still exist, a sub sub £25 128gb card is realistic.

Formatting the card (deep) should tell you what it is.

Thats the test I couldn't remember. Well done. Just a small warning though. It can take a looooong time for the test to run. Be patient

Thumbs up

Another good heads-up from Wes I think and I'd be surprised if it is a faked memory. As 128gb has been mentioned MyMemory emailed me today with an offer on a USB 3 pendrive of one for £10.99 or two for £20 with free UK delivery. Click

I've always found MyMemory to be reliable and problem free in my dealings with it.

If anyone is unsure, just use the H2testw piece of software to determine where its fake or not.

I brought a card from an Amazon third-party seller which turned out to be fake, its best to stick with cards being sold by Amazon themselves, not third-party sellers. I have never bought a card from ebay though, except from Currys on ebay, I think I also used Argos once.

Sometimes the packing can identify a fake card, poor fuzzy text printing and ink colours can be different. Lack of manufactures information and logos can also be different or missing, also the serial numbers.

I have to laugh at 64 and 128gb cards etc. I remember the first desktop I bought had a 3gb memory!

My first SD card I bought was 16MB, then 32MB and so on. I thought I hit the big time when I bought my first 1GB card. lol

Anyone remember XD cards, I still have some old 128MB Fuji ones.
