Product Information:

PNY Elite Class 10, UHS-I, U1 microSD Flash Memory is perfect for the latest smartphones, tablets, action cameras, drones and more. It features up to 32GB of storage, giving you more available space on your mobile device so you can enjoy more mobile content such as apps, eBooks, web video, music and movies.

U1 technology is perfect for full HD video recording and HD photography, allowing you to capture high quality HD video and photos with your action camera, drone, or other mobile device. The Elite microSD card is rated Class 10, U1, which guarantees fast transfer speeds of up to 85MB/s so you can quickly transfer and share your content while you're on the go.

You can not determine the actual memory capacity of a counterfeit memory card by simply viewing the capacity displayed by your computer, phone or camera. Counterfeiters fraudulently overwrite the cards internal memory with a false capacity which will display a false capacity on your device. Actual memory must be checked with a test program.

To check if your Micro SD drive has the capacity and speed stated, "H2testw" is a simple tool that is distributed for free, and offers a very simple, easy-to-use interface. The program can be used by anyone who wants to know how their actual product compares to others, the real capacity and the amount of errors that can be detected on the product.

The Secure Digital "SD" standard is maintained by the SD Association (SDA). The Secure Digital format includes four card families; the original Standard-Capacity (SDSC), the High-Capacity (SDHC), the eXtended-Capacity (SDXC), and the SDIO. The cards are available in three form factors; original, mini size, and micro size.

It is not unusual to find counterfeit and generic cards with memory substantially below what is printed on the card. If you don't check your purchase, you may lose content or damage your equipment.

The Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) format is defined in version 2.0 of the SD specification, and supports cards with capacities up to 32 GB.

Warnings / Hazards:

Loss of valuable data or damage to your equipment. There is no SanDisk warranty on counterfeit products.

Recommended Action:

To make sure you're getting the real thing, always purchase your memory cards from reputable authorized dealers.

If you purchased a counterfeit from an e-commerce website (including eBay, Amazon, AliExpress) keep the counterfeit product as proof for your dispute, the manufacturer or authorities. If returned, the seller will claim it is not counterfeit, or re-sell it to another unsuspecting consumer. Contact your credit-card company and dispute the charges -- you have the counterfeit product as proof. Leave negative "Counterfeit" feedback for the seller.
