Why SD Cards You Order Online May Arrive Defective ? |
There are several common reasons why SD cards you
order online may turn out to be defective. Especially in an industry where
counterfeit products are widespread, a lack of caution can lead to wasted money
and jeopardized data.
Why Do SD
Cards Arrive Defective?
1. Fake (Counterfeit) Cards
- Cheap cards from unknown sellers are often knock-offs.
- Although labeled as 64 GB, they may actually contain only 8–16 GB.
Files seem to save but are actually lost.
- These cards fail quickly or may not work at all.
2. Poor-Quality Brands or Counterfeit Versions
- Even big brands like Samsung, SanDisk, or Kingston have counterfeit
versions on the market.
- These look real but contain fake memory chips or corrupted internal
systems.
3. Physical Damage During Shipping
- Static electricity, impact, or moisture can damage the card.
- Cards sent in thin plastic bags without protection are especially
vulnerable.
4. Format Issues or Fake Software
- Cards may come improperly formatted or with fake file systems.
- The device recognizes the card, but it either fails to save data or
loses data afterward.
5. Fraudulent Sellers / Resending Returned Items
- Some unethical sellers re-send returned defective items to new
customers.
What Can You
Do?
1. Check the Seller
- On platforms like Amazon, Trendyol, or Hepsiburada, check the
"seller" details.
- Choose sellers labeled as “Original Product,” “Official Distributor,”
or with high customer ratings.
2. Test the Card (To Verify Actual Capacity)
Use tools like H2testw (for Windows) or F3 (for Mac/Linux) to
test the real capacity and performance.
- If it says 128 GB on the label but only shows 16 GB in tests, it’s a
fake.
3. Request a Return Immediately
- If the card is faulty or fake, file for a return using the
"defective item" option right away.
- Depending on return policies, you’ll get a refund or a replacement.
4. Remember: “If It’s Cheap, There’s a Reason”
- A genuine 64 GB SD card should cost between 200–400 TL.
- Anything under 100 TL is highly suspicious.
Conclusion:
Defective SD cards are usually the result of fake
products or unreliable sellers. Cheap cards may end up being completely
useless. Always buy from reputable sources and prefer boxed, invoiced products.
Don’t forget to test the card on the first day of use.
