Distinguish real and fake memory cards

Many devices using memory cards came into being, bringing the memory card market more and more rich in brand and category, as well as the inevitable 'yellow brass'. This article will give you some experience differentiating real and fake memory cards from some of today's popular brands.

In fact, there is no software that can help check what kind of card is, so you only have to look carefully at them (by eye and through their performance check) to know:

- 1GB type memory card of SanDisk SD Card : fake card has no small part at the bottom and real card has this detail.

2GB SanDisk CF memory card: the left picture is a fake card, the right is real

- 2GB SanDisk CF memory card : The red SanDisk text of the card is fainter than the real card, and the fake card has TM next to the CF icon on the right corner of the card while the real card is not available. In addition, the fake card does not have a serial number at the end of the card. Even more sophisticated, you can see that the fake card box does not have a three-dimensional effect when there is a proper light such as a real card box.

Also with Sandisk's 2 GB standard CF card type, you may notice the print quality of the label on the card surface is very bad and the label's deflection. The print quality as well as the style of printed letters on a fake card edge are not neat.

Another point to note is that the fake SanDisk card manual is different from the manual of the real card type.

- Sony's 2 GB Pro Duo memory card : It can be clearly distinguished from the fake print card quality is very poor and there are no places to push or push in like the real card. With concave protrusions on real cards, the distinction between fake cards is not difficult.
