Great price. Has a heavy user tried one of these in a Samsung Galaxy phone? I killed three 64gb SanDisk's before paying the extra for a quality (Samsung) sd card that has lasted 3 years hard labour and still going strong.

Yup, I am using one on my S7 as a camera storage and so far so good. On PC crystaldiskmark shows 94/35 so pretty good I must say for a card at that price. With S3 and Note 2 there were a lot of issues, personally with a Lexar card getting corrupt numerous times - it was due to the phone I think, not to the cards. I think that issue has been fixed for years now so don't worry.

"Warning: SanDisk SD Cards in Galaxy S4 & S5 and Notes 2 & 3" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GATwDqQMwTE In my case, I was using a Note 2 at the time and a silver/red 64GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSDXC.

I used that article when I RMA'd an old card before Christmas, they assured me that issue has since been resolved.
I've since bought a few more newer cards off here plus the new upgraded one from my RMA and they've all been fine, so I'm guessing its cool now.
Makes me laugh though that lots of people had issues using certain cards in Samsung products. I often wonder if these faults were intentional on Samsung's part, seen as they're Sandisk's main competitor in the memory card market and seen as how they would have much to gain by making their competitors cards fail, or look bad. :laughing:
Especially as they have a history of being dirty towards their competitors. Remember when Samsung were caught and prosecuted for paying reviewers to give their competitors products bad reviews .. Very dodgy indeed :laughing:

dont know why this is voted hot...did any of you read the 83 bad reviews on the amazon page?
especially this one -
Fake
ByMr. Paul M. Simmonson 14 January 2016
Size: 128 GB|Package Type: Frustration-Free Packaging
|Verified Purchase
Clearly what has been received is not as described. Having just upgraded my phone to an LG4 I decided to ramp up the memory. On receipt of the product I was dubious to say the least that the product did not reflect the usual Sandisk packaging I have purchased in the past. Having reviewed the memory this is nothing like 128GB instead produces a mere 23.1 GB. Pretty shocking considering this came in packaging with amazon printed all over it. Pictures attached are proof this is not what is described.
biddilybah to rasdonny
11 Apr 161#48
To be fair though mate, there are over 1,600 5* reviews too so odds are probably in your favour that it won't happen to you what happened to that bloke. I wouldn't worry too much. :smiley:
dantesfireplace to rasdonny
11 Apr 161#49
The reviews are a combination of all sizes and all sellers of the same type of card.
The fake card reviews will almost certainly (well pretty much definitely) have come from 3rd Party Sellers, either directly or Fulfilled by Amazon (so Marketplace seller's stock) Not Amazon sold & supplied.
IMH0 to rasdonny
11 Apr 16#62
when you put it in your basket, I've noticed that it sometimes swaps to another supplier that isn't SanDisk. Entirely possible that they went through the right channels and inadvertently brought a fake one.
ERM... Maccy posted BEFORE your apology. If was you who then started by taking that shot at her. Shame some people can't grasp the concept of time, and like to start trouble, only to play the victim when it comes back on them, isn't it. :wink:
Nice deal Chanchi. Heat added. :smiley:
rasdonny
11 Apr 16#50
I knew that by the way...but that doesnt make it not true that fakes are being sold.
and ask for the 1,600 (5*) reviews - there are at least 60% of ppl who leave positive reviews in less that 1 hr after they have recieved an items, so relying on positive reviews is def not the way to go, as not that reliable re quality or reliability, as many positive reviewer are mighty trigger happy!
biddilybah
11 Apr 16#51
That sucks that you went through that, but it's from Amazon at the end of the day. They'll happily collect and replace/refund your item if that happens. :smiley:
biddilybah
11 Apr 16#52
My comment doesn't suggest there aren't, I'm just saying that the odds are in your favour that it won't happen to you. If we only listened to bad reviews on products, nobody would buy anything. :smiley:
Just saw your edit. Again, your comment was in relation to someone receiving a fake card. Reliability and quality are a different matter entirely. Also, regarding that point, people are more likely to leave bad reviews than good ones. Therefore, there are more likely to be many more happy customers out there. Not sure where your 60% figure comes from because nobody knows when someone could have received it mind and also, Amazon reviews can be updated further down the line should a fault occur.
Sandisk may have reliability issues in comparison to other brands but if it was as bad as people say, they wouldn't still be in business and one of the biggest manufacturers of storage today. I've never had one fail in my experience (famous last words :laughing: ) but that doesn't mean they're all reliable just as your experience doesn't suggest they're all faulty or fake either :smiley:

actually it has happened to me too and that why i will never buy sandisk anymore as they are the no1 cards to be faked and fakes.
rasdonny

my original comment was cautionary and not saying all sandisk are fake, beside everyone can only speak or advice based on their experiences...at the end of the day, each to his/her own choices.
re the 60%, there has been study that state that most ppl do indeed assume that because they have received their item and it looks like what they ordered then it must be okay etc and they then gsimply just leave a positive review straight away and some even before even trying out the item...and yes one can indeed know when they receive the item as this was part of the questions in the study of both ebay and amazon customers/reviewers.

Didn't know that about the study. I know I'm one to leave feedback too quickly on eBay to be honest (which ebay want you to do) so does make you think how flawed that system is really.

Just some general advice on the card. BTW I'm the same reviewer on Amazon that's the top review and in the video i've demoed upload and download on the card.
Just double check that when you put the card in your shopping basket that it's sold by SanDisk and not a 3rd party, so as you can be sure to get a genuine one. I tend to go with the normal packaging and not frustration free, so I get the legit one.
I've made a not in my review about corrupt cards. If it just goes wrong you can always return to Amazon, within 30 days i think. If's beyond that. you can go to Sandisk directly. they have at least a 10-year guarantee on the card, just give them the invoice from Amazon ( you can download a electronic one from your account) Sandisk Warranty EMEA

11 Apr 16#67
fakes sometimes work temporarily or show up with less actual space on the sdcard, but even with the 10 years guarantee etc i will not return it for an exchange or replacement as will not risk my data stuck on these cards getting in the wrong hands as they test or try to fix the card.

11 Apr 161#79
I find high speed micro SDXC cards unreliable, I've had a couple of Sandisk 32GB's fail, 128GB fail and my 200GB card failed on its first transfer. I've got a few Samsung 64GB micro SD cards which have worked fine so tried a Samsung 128GB card which failed in the first couple of days and its replacement lasted three weeks before failing. A Samsung 32GB micro SD lasted a few months before it also failed.
I have wondered if Samsung are selling fakes as it's happened in the past but from what I can tell they are genuine and the failures are all the same, they initially pass an h2testw report and work without issue but then they go into a failure state where the existing data can be read but nothing else can be. The failures have been in different devices (phones, tablets, cameras etc.) and I've been using different card readers in case one of them is faulty but still getting the failures and normal SD cards have used the same readers without issues.
I've used a similar number of high capacity and high speed full size SD cards and not had one of them fail, I've very rarely had any flash cards fail aside from the garbage smart media cards years ago. I've been wary of returning too many cards to Amazon in case I fall foul of them closing the account as they seem to have with some people.

Good to hear real-life experiences. Would you consider that you put a fairly heavy strain on the cards? I was thinking of putting a high-capacity card in my laptop's card reader and using it as real-time (or near as) backup, but if they can't handle too much workload I'm not so sure I want to go down that road!

I don't mind them at all. Their speeds can be a little bit off from time to time, but that could be down to a whole range of factors. If they were really that bad why did Samsung put a bid in to buy them back in 2008 for nearly 6 billion (which got declined) and why has Western Digital since bought them out and become their new owner as of October 2015. :laughing:

dantesfireplace to PLinford
11 Apr 16#84
Yes. Just remember it will be slower than the on-board HDD.
I do this currently with my Macbook Air. I have the small adapter that fits into the SD slot with no protruding edge.
I've gone for this to add to a Macbook Pro on the way for work.
If you go for the smaller adapter, make sure you get the right one for the model / year of Macbook you have.
I have had a SanDisk fail in the past but I only use the cards for non precious data, such as films or music etc.

Really have to question the validity of Sandisk "Failures" on here, given that ive not ever, ever had a single one go - and neither has anyone else i know. This applies to cards ranging from 16 Mb (Yes Megabyte) to 128GB. If sandisk were really that bad, im certain someone i know would have mentioned it.
I would put money on the vast majority of those failed being down to buying a fake card.

Mine definitely wasn't fake. Many years ago I bought a fake Sony M2 (!) card from a third-party Amazon seller and vowed never to be stung again.
I either buy from Amazon themselves, or My Memory, Moby Memory. Always trusted retailers. I give Amazon Marketplace and ebay a miss unless it's somewhere like 7dayshop, etc.
Also, Sandisk check your serial number and verify your card before granting an RMA - which means fake cards would simply not get replaced. There's lots of discussion about Sandisk MicroSD cards failing and being replaced under warranty out there.

11 Apr 16#117
Lol - maybe both! The problems with android and sdcards are well documented all over the web. In brief, there are many big apps (often games) which can't make use of the extra memory. This is still the case with the new adoptable storage in Marshmallow (although it improves the situation). I know there are apps which can force apps onto the sdcard but they sometimes cause bugs. Whether these issues are a glitch or a security feature is also a running debate. That's why I use and recommend a phone with large internal memory.

Lol - no its android all the way - just get one with a big internal memory! Loads of apps still have problems with sdcards even in marshmallow.

I have a Lumia 950. My apps save to the 32GB of internal memory, my videos/pictures/music/documents are saved to my 128GB Lexar SD.
I imagine Android users buying such cards are doing so with the same usage in mind.
The best thing about my setup? I can remove the card whilst the phone is still switched on, and then stick it in my 2 in 1 and edit/upload photos and videos etc.
Try and get that kind of versatility out of built in storage :wink:.
Oh, and I also don't have to pay ridiculous premiums for additional storage...
(If you are an iPhone user, remind me again the difference in price of a 16GB and a 64GB iPhone 6S. Once you've done that calculation, you may start to see the merits that these cheap micro SD cards afford)

All my cards were bought directly from Amazon or Tescos, they passed h2testw and the packaging didn't have any of the defects that would show them as fakes - I've seen a fake card pass an h2testw test at the high write speeds they should and also the type of failure (the card become write locked) is typical of a genuine card, not a fake one which just fails entirely. Also, I've bought a variety of SD cards in similar capacities and speeds at the same time also from Sandisk without a single failure on any of them. I'm going to try sending the 200GB back to Sandisk instead for a change and see what they say about it being a fake or not.
I have been puzzled by the high rate of failure, I think it's partially bad luck and my sample size is small and I know others that have had similar failures as well. Not that it puts me off buying them entirely but I wouldn't fork out a lot of money for them.

Thanks - didn't bother in the end. Do you know if any card would run smoothly as the internal storage? Thanks.

£200 extra for 128GB of extra storage?!
The only thing more crazy than Apple's pricing are the people who buy their products!

None will, speeds are simply too slow. If you absolutely must add internal then look at a high speed USB stick or even a USB 3.0 portable hard drive, I wouldn't bother looking at SSD as you'll be limited by the USB 3.0 ports.

Wow thanks for letting me know. I was under the impression that sd cards would work fine as they are mentioned on the Nvidia website. I'll run with the internal storage for as long as I can and hold fire until I absolutely need more.

I am not a smart man.
"Warning: SanDisk SD Cards in Galaxy S4 & S5 and Notes 2 & 3" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GATwDqQMwTE In my case, I was using a Note 2 at the time and a silver/red 64GB Sandisk Ultra MicroSDXC.
I've since bought a few more newer cards off here plus the new upgraded one from my RMA and they've all been fine, so I'm guessing its cool now.
Makes me laugh though that lots of people had issues using certain cards in Samsung products. I often wonder if these faults were intentional on Samsung's part, seen as they're Sandisk's main competitor in the memory card market and seen as how they would have much to gain by making their competitors cards fail, or look bad. :laughing:
Especially as they have a history of being dirty towards their competitors. Remember when Samsung were caught and prosecuted for paying reviewers to give their competitors products bad reviews .. Very dodgy indeed :laughing:
I am not good with hotukdeals
Thanks
Bit naughty if that's the case?
And who knows it could've been due to a faulty batch from lexar.
every SD card I ever RMA'd was a sandisk.
it takes forever to get a replacement.
Reason enough not to bother.
Should be hedgyhoggys heat.
Anyone who know's me, would know it's not something I do
I don't have record of what deals have been submitted but ask a site mod to clarify but sure this was posted 1st
Stop like begging. :laughing:
Keep up the like begging.
So I'll move on and hope you can too and no hard feelings, I really was just trying to see where you were coming from in what you posted.
Have a good day! :smiley:
Heat added Chanchi, great find!

Happy Monday

Fake
ByMr. Paul M. Simmonson 14 January 2016
Size: 128 GB|Package Type: Frustration-Free Packaging
|Verified Purchase
Clearly what has been received is not as described. Having just upgraded my phone to an LG4 I decided to ramp up the memory. On receipt of the product I was dubious to say the least that the product did not reflect the usual Sandisk packaging I have purchased in the past. Having reviewed the memory this is nothing like 128GB instead produces a mere 23.1 GB. Pretty shocking considering this came in packaging with amazon printed all over it. Pictures attached are proof this is not what is described.
The fake card reviews will almost certainly (well pretty much definitely) have come from 3rd Party Sellers, either directly or Fulfilled by Amazon (so Marketplace seller's stock) Not Amazon sold & supplied.
If it's fake return to Amazon. If it's corrupt, you have at least a 10 year guarantee https://www.sandisk.co.uk/about/legal/warranty/warranty-emea
Nice deal Chanchi. Heat added. :smiley:
and ask for the 1,600 (5*) reviews - there are at least 60% of ppl who leave positive reviews in less that 1 hr after they have recieved an items, so relying on positive reviews is def not the way to go, as not that reliable re quality or reliability, as many positive reviewer are mighty trigger happy!
Just saw your edit. Again, your comment was in relation to someone receiving a fake card. Reliability and quality are a different matter entirely. Also, regarding that point, people are more likely to leave bad reviews than good ones. Therefore, there are more likely to be many more happy customers out there. Not sure where your 60% figure comes from because nobody knows when someone could have received it mind and also, Amazon reviews can be updated further down the line should a fault occur.
Sandisk may have reliability issues in comparison to other brands but if it was as bad as people say, they wouldn't still be in business and one of the biggest manufacturers of storage today. I've never had one fail in my experience (famous last words :laughing: ) but that doesn't mean they're all reliable just as your experience doesn't suggest they're all faulty or fake either :smiley:
re the 60%, there has been study that state that most ppl do indeed assume that because they have received their item and it looks like what they ordered then it must be okay etc and they then gsimply just leave a positive review straight away and some even before even trying out the item...and yes one can indeed know when they receive the item as this was part of the questions in the study of both ebay and amazon customers/reviewers.
or ... SPESHAL UPGRADED 1024TB SD CARD ONLY 1 DOLLA!
You should be safe with sold by amazon as far as fakes are concerned though.
As you say, each to their own isn't it. I do value others saying about their bad experiences as much as those who state their good ones too. Helps us all make a decision at the end of the day. :smiley:
anyhow it was indeed from amazon, i have a drawer half-full with cards and usb drives and other nicknacks bought from amazon over the years that have failed and some fakes too.
what did they say to you when you told them?
why did you point out a random review rather than your own experience?
mean sold and fulfilled by amazon
what did they say to you when you told them?
never returned it cause of privacy issue, didnt want to risk my data that was stuck on the sdcard, just got something else
why did you point out a random review rather than your own experience?
The review i posted was indeed not mine as i didnt buy that particular one on sale now but have bought sandisk from amazon before
No worries....I got the photo via my Xperia Z5....which now has 128GB of capacity. Sweet!!
Just double check that when you put the card in your shopping basket that it's sold by SanDisk and not a 3rd party, so as you can be sure to get a genuine one. I tend to go with the normal packaging and not frustration free, so I get the legit one.
I've made a not in my review about corrupt cards. If it just goes wrong you can always return to Amazon, within 30 days i think. If's beyond that. you can go to Sandisk directly. they have at least a 10-year guarantee on the card, just give them the invoice from Amazon ( you can download a electronic one from your account)
Sandisk Warranty EMEA
It's only the easy packaging that's on offer.
How do I do it?
I have wondered if Samsung are selling fakes as it's happened in the past but from what I can tell they are genuine and the failures are all the same, they initially pass an h2testw report and work without issue but then they go into a failure state where the existing data can be read but nothing else can be. The failures have been in different devices (phones, tablets, cameras etc.) and I've been using different card readers in case one of them is faulty but still getting the failures and normal SD cards have used the same readers without issues.
I've used a similar number of high capacity and high speed full size SD cards and not had one of them fail, I've very rarely had any flash cards fail aside from the garbage smart media cards years ago. I've been wary of returning too many cards to Amazon in case I fall foul of them closing the account as they seem to have with some people.

I do this currently with my Macbook Air. I have the small adapter that fits into the SD slot with no protruding edge.
I've gone for this to add to a Macbook Pro on the way for work.
If you go for the smaller adapter, make sure you get the right one for the model / year of Macbook you have.
I have had a SanDisk fail in the past but I only use the cards for non precious data, such as films or music etc.
Still, 128GB of nice normal media storage for £175 less is good eh.

It's happened to me (posted an Amazon Deal Of The Day and someone had posted it within a minute before me so mine was deleted) - didn't bother me :smiley:
I would put money on the vast majority of those failed being down to buying a fake card.
I either buy from Amazon themselves, or My Memory, Moby Memory. Always trusted retailers. I give Amazon Marketplace and ebay a miss unless it's somewhere like 7dayshop, etc.
Also, Sandisk check your serial number and verify your card before granting an RMA - which means fake cards would simply not get replaced. There's lots of discussion about Sandisk MicroSD cards failing and being replaced under warranty out there.
There were a bunch of deals posted three months ago at around £60 for 200gb Sandisk cards but nothing near that ever since unless you go to eBay which is worth avoiding for warranty.
but was tempted by this 128 a year ago for my tablet, been fine no problem.
However I've never used a microSD card in a phone so that might be a different story(?)
I never touch eBay or Amazon Marketplace for memory cards, only trust Amazon direct - very happy to have their customer service to fall back should anything go wrong.
Can I have it please?
"SJCAM SJ4000 Wifi version 1.2 (v1.2) is now here. This firmware adds support for 64gb& 128gb memory cards. Please make sure to check out the list of known supported memory cards on the SJCAM Forum. If your memory card does not work, remember to format is using FAT32 method. Also, make sure you are using an original memory card that has a high class rating. There are many fake cards on online sites so make sure you buy from an authorized reseller of your memory card brand."
