How to spot fake memory cards - SanDisk SD Card Extreme Pro Ultra Plus SDHC Memory Review 128GB 64GB

Is your SanDisk memory card real or fake? Fake memory cards are flooding the market and they are looking more and more real. Watch this video for hints and tips to see if you can idenfiy fake cards from genuine cards.

The BEST WAY to test and rule out fake cards is to use free benchmarking software. The one I used in the video, CrystalDiskMark, is a very popular and reliable way to test all types of data storage including external drives, internal drives, thumb drives, SSDs, computer RAMs, SD cards and CF cards. You can download it for free here:

When you run a speed test, make sure you compare your test numbers to the benchmarks of the genuine cards out there by searching for your card model. The numbers included in this video was for SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO UHS-I V30 SDHC card so the speed comprison only works for the same model (same model, different capacity is OK as that doesn't really affect the read/write speed). There are many different types of cards with different speeds so be sure to compare the right numbers.
