Size really isn't a good way to verify if a card is real or fake...Hakoda said:SanDisk or any other brand of card, really, will work as long as the stated capacity is true (meaning as long as its not fake). Use the SD Formatter to format the card instead of your OS; the SD Formatter formats the card in such an architecture that it performs faster in terms of speed.

A 4GB MicroSDHC or 400GB Harddrive won't be 4GB and 400GB respectively.
They'll be ABOUT 4,000,000,000 and 4000,000,000,000 bytes each.
Every drive is a little bit different and can have a little extra or missing from the size.
I've never heard of that happening... then again, I've never bought a fake.tk_saturn said:You're taking what he said out of context.
He means for example a 32MB MicroSD card which has been hacked so it identifes itself to the device 1GB. If a MicroSD card says it's 4GB and it's size is 4,000,000,000 based on the way they way the maker represents. I too believe they should use computing capacities, but they wouldn't pass up an opportunity to make their storage devices seem bigger than they are.
Easiest way not to get a fake? buy from a trusted retailer.
