Processor fakes are a common thing nowadays. So, when purchasing a CPU that isn’t boxed, you can never be 100% sure of what you got.

Now, pictures of a fake 2GB Sandisk SD card have appeared on the internet:

To cut a long story short-the two cards shown on the web site definitely are different. However, I am not 100% sure if this realy is a criminal fake or if SanDisk just decided to change its printers. Also, the seller’s ebay account was not yet suspended-we cant be sure…

I have no problems with fake SD cards because I always purchase mine at Amazon’s or directly at the distributor’s. But if these cards are real, buying a used SD card may become a game of russian roulette….

What do you think?

  1. If the faked is better than the original I’ll take the fake! ;)

  2. The fakes have no warranty and have less R & D. They dont last as long and they tend to corrupt files when written.

  3. Hi Dan,
    just read in a newspaper about the fakes appearing on ebay in masses… .
