fake micro sdxc cards?

Hi,

there are "Lenovo  micro sdxc" cards sold at ebay with capacities up to 512 GB. I suspected them  to be fake cards because I couldn't find any offers of Lenovo micro sd cards anywhere else (except aliexpress which is famous for selling fake sd cards).

The seller told me that they were produced and sold by Lenovo China, that's why I couldn't find them elsewhere.

 

I wonder if that could be true. Is Lenovo indeed producing micro sd cards? I can't ask on the chinese Lenovo site because I can't read it :-) Maybe here someone knows if Lenovo micro sd cards indeed exist or are just fakes...

cu,

Frank

Re:fake micro sdxc cards?

Welcome to the Community, Frank

The interwebs are rife with stories of SD cards that say "1TB" on the front, but are only 8GB when the product arrives with no way to return it. I did a simple search of shop.lenovo.com and the only SD card that came up was from SanDisk.  Nothing Lenovo or Think branded. I found Think and Lenovo-branded cards at Walmart.com, but they were clearly manufactured by someone else. I don't work for Lenovo, so I can't say for certain if Lenovo markets their own branded cards. I will say when I see some shopping site I've never heard of or an eBay listing for a 1TB card for ten bucks, I apply the old "If it sounds too good to be true.." axiom. Personally, I've only ever purchased SD cards through Amazon or off-the-shelf at Best Buy and Walmart. I stick to known names, such as SanDisk, Samsung, et al.  Must MHO. :)
