Samsung microSD card reliable ?

[Nakedtoes]

Actually hor, if the receipt is those burn type, you fold fold nicely. The date and product type dont touch any surface, and straight put into the box/cover and put in cupboard. Will last longer. If you got dry box better. Throw inside.

Cannot lar even if u laminate the ink will still disappear one.

I bought from a female seller in Korea. I thought card from there very safe. Got comes with free card reader. But actually she direct send from China to me. Got suspicious and test the card really only 8gb..some more she often refund 50% and dun want anything back. I said not full refund. Emailed Samsung and qoo. Finally got full refund plus shipping back charges then I sent all rubbish back to her.

Actually MicroSD card quite prone to read and write problems. thats why when they offer 10 year warranty its quite reassuring

Maybe but frankly speaking there are many ppl who bought dun know how to test.. Until then slowly started to fill 8gb of space then they got problems..

Sandisk is 5 years warranty for most micro sd cards. But there are many imitation and parallel imports in local market. To get the local warranty you have to buy those with the local distributor sticker, which is vector magnetics. Do google for this official website and know more about the warranty.

Samsung on the other hand offers 10 years warranty but I don't think there is any way to check whether its local stock judging by the packaging. So best to buy from major store like challenger to ensure its local stock

Find a Retailer

There are 3 distributors for sandisk in singapore. Ingram micro, kaira and vector magnetics. Vector magnetics has the longest history and label their sandisk with sticker. The other two do not handle RMA directly with consumers and has to RMA through the retailers. All 3 only honor warranty for product serial number distributed by them.

Yes, it's important to test

 

[jeff79]

actually for memory card the failure rate should be quite low unless cases like sandisk memory card kanna fry by samsung phones wonder will samsung phones fry samsung Evo or Pro series MicroSDHC / MicroSDXC cards

May mot be samsung phone fault. SanDisk cops to malfunctioning Micro SDs in Galaxy S3s

Sandisk admitted that there was manufacturing defect with 32GB and 64GB microsd. Some kingstons memory cards are using sandisk nand chips, also got people reported problem.

i also dunno how to test but then i dun buy from unreliable sources.

To test whether the micro sd card is real, simplest will be transfer the amount of data = the size of your card haha.

Another free software on windows platform will be hwtest 1.4.

Sadly I can't find any free software on Mac platform.

So far i did not see any Samsung counterfeit micro sd cards.

Those third party with the brand name 'for Samsung' are simply oem, do correct me if I'm wrong.

As whether Samsung micro sd cards are worth the money? I'll say that depends on where you buy it hehe.

My SanDisk 16GB MicroSD also have problem. Keep kena ejected for no reason. Then switched to Samsung Evo and everything is good.

many ppl will just say "hah so troublesome still must test real or fake.." Somemore need to use pc and good card reader to test.. still will advice friends or ppl to buy from reputable shops for samsung microsd or flash memory card.
