What is the cheapest SD Cards you guys know of?

Terran0va · May 1, 2020

I'm talking Micro or Regular SD, I'm trying to avoid counterfeit SD cards.

As an example, I found a double microSD 32GB that's like 20$, and it sounds fishy.
(I'm not sure if I can send links, but it's on the Walmart website.)

Can anyone send me 16-64GB MicroSD/SD Cards that are not counterfeit that I could purchase online, or can anyone tell me if walmart SD cards are fake or not at the very least?

Thanks in advance.

(I wont be able to answer for a bit after I post this, sorry)

$20 for 2 32GB SD cards, micro or otherwise, isn't a fishy deal. If anything, it's a tad expensive as just one Sandisk Ultra Micro SD card sells for like $8.50.

SD card prices are quite cheap these days.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSDHC-Adapter-MB-ME32GA-AM/dp/B06XWN9Q99/ < Buy two of these. $15 for 2x 32GB micro sd cards.

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSDHC-Adapter-MB-ME32GA-AM/dp/B06XX29S9Q/ < Or two of these, $24 for 2x 64GB micro sd cards.

If you were talking about eBay or something on the Amazon Marketplace, that would be one thing. But Wal-Mart? Just take the cards home, test them with h2testw, and then return them if they don't work.

The reason I said it was fishy is because every time I try to find them personally, I keep finding 32GB ones for like 20$ a piece, and some for like 10$ a peice, and I really dont get the difference between them.

Wal-Mart Onn brand is not fake or fishy and work just as good as other brands

AliExpress. Look for reviews showing h2testw results. 32gb microSD for $2.50. They're not the fastest, but class 10 is decent.

cheap sd cards are not worth it!!!!

Shadow#1 · May 2, 2020

And never buy from aliexpress/EBay/3rd party sellers on Amazon

No matter where you get a card from, you should probably find a way to run h2testw. You're taking a big chance otherwise.

DarkFlare69 · May 2, 2020

Don't even try to use eBay or aliexpress for something like this. Only buy from confirmed official sellers of these cards. Especially since they're all so cheap these days you never know what's real or fake unless it's from the official seller. The first links posted in this thread are really good. It's also making me remember when micro SD cards were extremely expensive. I paid much more than what they're going for now.

Free 4GBs complimentary with used 3DSes lol

Like I said, no one here can tell you for sure one way or another. If you can't run h2testw, then you are taking your chances.

ETA: Are you going to use these with a hacked 3DS? Because without a computer, godmode9 is the only way to format those.

I only trust Samsung MicroSDs. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

Yeah I am.
I should have clarified that, I do have a computer, I just dont consider it a real computer because it's a mac :v

I've heard that those ones are pretty good.

Goku1992A · May 3, 2020

64gb Samsung EVO is $10 / 128gb Sandisk Ultra is $20 those are the cheapest you can get. Those are off Amazon

Kwyjor · May 3, 2020

Of course you know that even if a card says Samsung on it, it could potentially be counterfeit.

In that case you can run F3X.

...Or that's the theory, at least. Apparently the F3X GUI is no longer maintained and crashes under the latest versions of OS X. But you can still use the command-line version (F3).

I dont have the latest version of mac, I refuse to lose the ability to use 32-bit programs lmao.
Thank you, I'll take a look :>

Then you should be able to run Windows, via VMWare, Parallels, or bootcamp.

Usually Amazon will have a deal of the day for SanDisk SD cards. I would say that's a good time to buy one not only because of the price but because they are going to be legit.
