  I've had 2 Sandisk cards, and both have become corrupt and unuseable after formatting, obviously fakes of a lower capacity hacked to show more, like those cheap 4gb nano clones used to, which often turned out to be 1gb! which is why H2testw is very useful for checking the real memory capacity.So, having had such bad experience, despite the good price, I'm dubious about buying anymore Sandisk cards, although very tempting.

  
  
  Where did you buy those?

  
  
  I got one from Amazon (SD), one on eBay from a 99% long time seller (MicroSD), both were 4GB I got last year.Checking what Becksgirl has posted, I would have known they were fakes from the start, as the Micro SD was bundled with SD Adapter.I wouldn't have been worried about it not being a real Sandisk, but I had the SD for my Camera, and after a while it became corrupt, I lost all my images! and couldn't even get the card to format, either in camera or on PC, which would suggest, not only not a Sandisk, but also not the 4gb capacity I was expecting, the only other card this has happened with is a TDK, also 4gb.
  Maybe I'm being too cynical, and I was just unlucky so actually I think I'll probably give this deal a go, it's so cheap that it's worth risking, but before I start using it, I'll run it through H2testw first, then at least I'll know I really have 16gb, whether it's Sandisk or not.

  
  
  Just confirms what I have always been doing: pay a couple of pennies more and get it directly from Amazon.

  
  
  The Sandisk SD card I bought, was from Amazon, and it wasn't a marketplace seller.Maybe that one wasn't fake, and I was just unlucky that it went corrupt on me, but as it happened whilst away and had to buy a replacement, I didn't bother exchanging when I got back, although in fairness to Amazon, I'm sure they would have done.Anyway, decided to get one of these, for which tablet I get.I've decided against the Nexus which as good as it is, is about £60 too expensive to justify what use I have for a tablet, so I think it's gonna be the Sumvision Cyclone, or maybe the Elf II, at least I'll have the memory card!
