Today we are going to tell you how to identify the original memory card. If you are also thinking of buying a new SD card to increase the storage of your mobile, then you should know about identifying the Fake memory card. In view of this, almost all mobile users take the help of SD card to increase storage, because the phone's storage is full due to the application and data in the phone. In such a situation, an SD card is required to store more data. However, now mobile companies are launching a lot of storage smartphones, which do not require a micro SD card but most people still have low-storage phones today.

Identify Original Memory Cards

Now you should know that what happens when you use a fake memory card in the mobile or smartphone, there is a danger of data deletion in fake SD card, besides this, the card gets worse quickly. By using fake cards in mobile, there is less power to process the mobile and you do not get enough storage in these cards.

  Smartphone users buy original branded SD cards such as Toshiba, SanDisk, and Samsung etc. to increase storage, but they do not know that these brand names are being used to sell fake memory cards in the market. The shopkeepers give these cards to be real and they even do not know they are real or fake.

Well, there are many ways of identifying the original SD Card, but here we are going to tell you the easiest ways to differentiate from real or fake memory card. So let's know which methods are there.

1. Look at the card packing

Let us tell you that more than 70 percent of the memory card in the market is packed without packing. In this case, you must look at its packing. Real memory cards always come in good packing. Most shopkeepers sell fake cards as real If you want to avoid fraud, you should never buy the card without packing.

2. View the brand name

The name of the brand written on the original memory card such as Toshiba, SanDisk, and Samsung etc. is absolutely clear, whereas the name of the brand in a fake memory card is spread and it is a bit crappy. In such a way, you can guess the real imitation of the card by looking at the print of the brand name.

3. Storage Capacity

The duplicate memory card available in the market is low in storage capacity, which means if the card has 16 GB storage, then its storage capacity will be around 12 GB. In this case, you must check the capacitance by inserting it into your mobile before purchasing the card.

4. Data Transfer Speed

The last, but not least, is to actually test the memory card on your computer. This is the most important step and if you are going to execute it, you can skip the first two, as this test will quickly tell if the memory card you are working with is real or fake. I usually start with a quick file copy test that does not require any special software.

Since most fake memory cards are much less than real ones, one can quickly identify such cards by copying the file. First, make sure you have a fast memory card reader. If you don't, the speed test will be completely pointless. Next, grab a large file from your computer (a 1-2 GB video file is ideal for this) and simply drag and drop it into the memory card and observe the average write speed

If you don't get more than 10-20 MB / sec on a memory card that promises a write speed of 90 MB / sec, then you probably have a fake card. Once the file is copied, copy it back from the memory card to see what kind of read speed you get. Again, notice the difference in reading speed.

The data transfer speed of a fake memory card is quite slow, while the speed in the real card is quite good. If you are buying a new card, then check the speed of card at that time.

How To Identify Original Memory Card In Online Website

Today, most people like to buy goods and products from online websites instead of a shop, because people think that all the things in the online website are original but that's not true, they also get fakes.

If you want to buy a memory card from an online site, you first have to check the rating and review of that card. If there is a rating of more than 4 on a card and there are quite good reviews, then there is more chance for that thing to be true. In this way, you can get an idea of something original and fake with rating and review in the online platform.

With these methods you can easily find the difference between real and fake memory cards. If you want to buy a new card, follow the methods described above.
