Did you test it with H2testw? Fake storage cards are often formatted in a certain way to display a fake storage capacity when the real capacity is really only 4-8GB
+CuroeGamer I recently uploaded a video on my channel of a fake Samsung Evo SD card being tested with H2testw, it claimed to be 64gb, but only 4GB were returned as OK.
im testing mine right now, just bought a fake 128GB microSD.. allready hard-crashing on me for the 3rd time in my Sony Xperia phone
H2testw is running at the moment and testing the full capacity and such..
Yep, out of 128GB.. only 7.4GB is real... the rest is corrupted
Neo wow people are this sad lmao
No no no please dont buy cheap cards, I experienced a big drama with it. it actually showed the printed memory in the explorer. I backed up irretrievable recordings of my own on it and stupidly made the second backup from this card. and almost all the films were gone!!! The card actually had a lot less memory and all the films just looked as if they had been saved. So there were data and folders available, but the data had no content! The films even stated their size, but it was all fake and nothing could be played. and it was a very important event for me that I filmed. irretrievably lost!! Now I use a program to test each data storage before use. It's called H2testw and it's free. It writes the card full and checks the memorysize and whether the data is ok. worth gold.
This is a damn painful video to watch because it actually encourages people to go out and buy them. He called them a great thing without even testing the card properly. Most of these fakes are simply real cheap 2 or 4gig cards with the firmware hacked to report them as a larger capacity.
+EQUINOX yeah this guy is an idiot.
that is why you got a good link not to get 4 for 64gb
This is not how you test a micro sd card. There are software for this purpose. They write random data until the sd card is full and try reading it back. If the card is not genuine, you can read only couple of GBs and rest of the data is lost. Try putting more than 10GB to that micro sd card and see that you cannot read that data back.
It's called h2testw if anyone wants to know.
but even if a fake passes some test it can die a few days later.

There are much better ways to test an SD card. You didn't even bother to try and see if the capacity is real or simulated. It's probably a 2gig card pretending to be 64gig.
HE DID
Donald Murray No he didn't. Checking in the setting as what it shows up as wont show you the true capacity. It is probably a 2-4GB card like Brain said.
Donald Murray Brain is totally right, this video is utterly useless. He did't at all test the SD card he simply showed us that it works but has problems. Fake cards and real cards have one major issue, the fake is NOT the real size it claims to be. Meaining you HAVE to test the ENTIRE card to see if its a real 64 gig card and he even hinted that there was a weird amount of higher free space on this card. Chances are, this is a 8 gig card that was hacked so to make you believe its a 64 gig card. Which means, beyond 8 gigs of file, the rest will all be corrupted.
BrainSeepsOut there is a freeware windows program to test for stuff like that, H2testw
+Striker FX You put them on, but do they come off exactly the same? Hash the files you put on and hash them all when you take them off. You will find that the total file size of correct hashes will correspond to the actual capacity of the flash card, e.g. around 2, 4 or maybe 8 GiB.
You didn't do a real test!!! You need to put in at least 60GB of movie files inside. And you will know it will not hold that much data. Likely it will hold max 8GB.. the reason why your photos were ok with the card is because your photos were only using less than 5% of the space. If you use 90% of the space you will see you will have problems with your files. Your video is not very informative. Checking the size of the card using "my computer" is not the way to test the size!!! You need to put at least 60GB of movie data files inside!!
It's also important to test the files you copy. On some fake cards, you actually can "copy" way more GB than they actually can store. On those cards, older data ends up being partially overwritten, which results in data corruption.
It's fake and it's not 64 Gb they format it as 64 but in fact it would be 4-8 gb
This card would have had 8gb capacity and will corrupt all files if you write more than that to it. I know, i have one. :(
I would have at least expected to see a simple speed test with HD Tune Pro, H2TestW or whatever.
His voice sounds like he just went puberty ngl 😂. No hate tho, I'm just fascinated how he used to sound before
I wish you would do this type vedio once again after 6 years.
can i ship a defective microsd card back to the sender in an regular envelope and a stamp, so i dont have to pay for shipping?
Wow, this was 8y ago and its crazy how much this channel has grown
can someone tell me what does it mean if the writing wipes off the SD card and when I store apps on the card the memory doesn't seen to move down.
Doesn't even do a proper test to see what the actual size is.
Ikr, most of the storage is probably broken.
Hello I hope that you can answer my question. I recently purchased an action camera the Akaso Brave 4 and I'm trying to figure out what type of 64GB micro SD card do I need. I would like to be able to record video in 4K, but some people are telling me that the Akaso Brave 4 does not record in reel 4K. I don't know what that means because the camera has the option to record in 4K, 2K and 1080p HD and 720p HD. So I hope you know what I am talking about and I hope that you can recommend a 64GB micro SD card that I should use with my Akaso Brave 4 action camera, that will give me the best video quality when I am recording. Weather it be in HD or 4K, thank you so much I appreciate your time and I hope to hear back from you soon!*
Watching the old vdo of yours you really came a long way
How do you find your stuff ? Just looking on every website ?!
Have you put 64GiB on it and verified the files checksums?
The first few Gigs do work, because there is some actual physical memory on the card, e.g. 8GB. However, the stuttering shows the chip is most certainly not of the advertised speed, and likely defective to some degree. It's better to buy trusted lower capacity drives than to play around with fake flash that does not have advertised capacity, speed, and has a high chance of failure in the nearby future (see tier 3 flash memory). That is not something you want your photos stored on.
can i use this for a telephone? Samsung gelaxy s5 neo
Did you fill up the card with 60 gbs?
this video is stunning. You did not even bother to check the real capacity of the card or if it is genuine or not. Incredible.
The thing you should check is if it actually holds all the 64Gb. I bought a cheap 128Gb card, and it says that it has 128Gb of free space but if you put even a little more than 12Gb it says that it is using the memory, but the files are all corrupted or will not open with anything I try to copy over after the initial Gb's. My 64Gb card was getting full with about 58Gb on it, and I tried to just copy it all over, and it said it used 70Gb/128Gb but only the first few files that it scanned over actually worked.
This is genuinely one of the most genuine videos on this entire genuine website I appreciate your genuity.
It seems that a lot of people here are saying that you need to test to see if your getting the space it says, have you done so? If so, what did you find out?
You need to do a read/write capacity test to see if it's spoofed 64gb. I bought one that was 16gb spoofed to show 64gb on my galaxy
Here's a fast way to check. Partition the card into 2 partitions and try writing a small video or audio file to the second partition. If the capacity is fake, the audio or video file will not play from the partioned card
without bench marking this video is useless and might be misleading.
What have I got on my psvita video please
I can't believe i fell for this after watching mrwhosstheboss for 4 years
Couldn't you just download an SD benchmark app? There could be other reason for video to stutter or freeze.
H2wtest.exe is a good program
Yeah 64gb says system. But it have about 4 or 8gb real capacity. It's programmed to show 64gb and after that 4 or 8gb gets full data is then just overwritten
Where do i find the product code????
you really could do a little more testing here, like filling it up and checking if all files are there..some cheap usb drives rewrite data once it's full but still continue copying so you wouldn't suspect anything wrong
What is the 32best memory card
So....its real or fake i dont know and where i can buy this card help
Cristi Boss Robert I dont recommend buying the fake, go for a real card from an actual store :)
Cristi Boss Robert its fake the red color is wrong
+Cristi Boss Robert Obviously fake 64gig
it's probably not even 64 gig, just pretending to be one.
+Cristi Boss Robert That's something the uploader didn't mention. These cards have their firmware hacked to report back to the computer that it has 64 GB free. If you go over its actual capacity (normally 4 GB), it will start corrupting files because it starts to write over the existing files.
+Henry Black oh that's interesting I brought a card took video all day and got home to find it was all corrupted. will be testing that card again see if i have the same prob. I'll have to but a genuine one from the store.
*This is the most disliked video of Mrwhosetheboss* 😝
Noor Mohammed Divide 822 to 820. 822/820=~1 xD
It's because he's wrong
You should do more than copy a couple files and see what happens. You should run programs to test the size, ie they create dummy files, or fill the device up and see if it errors out at some point. Otherwise if you can't verify a 15 dollar 64gb card is legit, then people will get burned like i have.
Exactly...you are correct. just because it reads 64gb doesn't mean it is. once you store 50 or so gb worth of applications, you may encounter crashes and errors. i have a fake 32gb card and it's really only 8gb and being that i know that already i only use 8. so worldgate989 is correct....i will spend the extra money and go to best buy where i can return if there's a problem and get it exchanged all in the same day..
rhampton1914 My friend was able to scam frys by buying a 128gb card online, then swapping it after he got burned and claiming that its defective. Cant believe it worked to be honest. Im too afraid they will do something to check and toss me in the pokey.
I bought a 64gb sandisk ultra from a dealer in Taiwan.How stupid I am just to save a couple of bucks.After I load anymore than 4~6 gb the data started to be tranferd to a automatically created ''Lost'' folder and rendered unreadable.Fkin contacted the dealer and the dude say I was bullshitting him.Never buy the cheap shits again.You reap what you sow.
Ace Of SpA'de Preach brother. Same thing happened to me. Better off waiting for a sale at the store so you know its real.
I was so pissed I immediately bought another 64gb sd card, this time the most positively reviewed one on Amazon.Almost 10$ more than the counterfeit one, but at least it proved to be valid after I put it through h2testw and sdinsight.I wish I can share this info with everyone so that they don't have to go through the shiz we've gone through.
Lost some really precious data of mine on that sd card I tell ya that :(
Which is better 9th class vs 10 calss sd card
Thanks for the upload but I feel compelled to comment on that whole ordeal. How hard was it really to spot the differences in font and overall print on that sdcard? Especially when you had an original to compare with. The differences were quite large, the cards were not "pretty much identical" as stated... And another thing - now if the card do look "pretty genuine", as stated in the video, obviously it is a fake. It's either or, it can't be a little fake or whatever. It should look "absolutely genuine" for it to be original.
They're fake.. reads as a 128gb. but after a certain point, you start losing files. and don't think it's just the super cheap ones. some sellers are greedy, or they're smart enough to know people will question authenticity if it's super cheap.
I guess you meant to say "will NOT question authenticity."
doesnt conclusively prove if this card is 64 gig or not and also you dont need class 10 to play an hd video file
many people say that that is fake..you are the few that says it is good..cheers
I bought one of these from Aliexpress too. It claimed to be a Samsung. Well the catch here is that although computer/tablet shows it to be 64GB, when you try to put 64GB (of 62 if you want to get technical) it will not go through. I tried it a multiple times and it was never able to copy more than 25GB.
If you paid by PayPal just claim full refund. That's easy.
Going back to your old videos...🤣🤣
Dear uploader can you write and read 60 GB to the SD card? I would really like to know.
how did i find this
is there a way to find out the real size of a sdhc?
H2testw
You should run it through a SDCardTester app, i bet it doesn't have 64G capacity. It is usually a 2-8G card that pretends to be something more
wow i didnt think mrwhosetheboss have covered this
bought same card. 10 GB video data took 3 hours to move from phone into PC... Aslo all 10 gb are corrupted. Videos that were taken on the same day , but saved in phone plays properly...
this is not a test, do some real work next time
lucky if you even get a 4 - 8gb card my brother got some usb flashdrives from hong kong they didn't even have flashchips inside just some tiny chip on a simple pcb with software that lied about being flash, it could not hold a single file.
Should do the write+verity test.
i never though that mrwhosetheboss made this lol
Can i get the song title?
i had those bootleg micro sd card. it don't work very well as u mention lagg on playing video,gaming.it can only last within a year then it r.i.p broken.all my picture & app are gone. think wisely before u buy it. but i still prefer sandisk(original) are the best compare to kingston.aliexpress also a great online store just like amazon.
you a Tony Danza fan?
Check the bar codes???????
What was this you didn't even test the true capacity size. Storing a couple of files or videos doesn't tell anything.
You should do a write/read speed test!
Normal: "Warranty"
Fake: "Warrantv"
Not only that - "LIMITEO WARRANTV" on the round sticker... and in the small print text I can read "The An droid robotis reproduced .."
I myself bought two generic SDHC cards from two different sellers. The cards were 64 and 32 GB, but soon I discovered that the pictures I took with my phone were corrupted. It turned out the cards were actually only 8GB cards that had been reworked so that any computer or phone would think they were 64 or 32 GB, respectively. The sellers quickly refunded my money, but so what? As soon as I get a refund I believe I will no longer be able to post a negative comment, and Ebay happily lets these sellers of fake goods continue their bad practices.
Once you start reading about the fake card business, you will find that the scale of the operation is unbelievable. I got most of my money back, but how many will realize that they got a fake card in their phone? And how many will know that they can get a refund? Not many, I'm afraid.
Is Lazada.com.ph Philippines Selling Counterfeit Micro Sd Cards?
Well you've come a long way 😮😂
Outro music pls
well you forgot to check if it was actually 64 gig or just reporting 64 gig needed to load 64 gigs of stuff on there then see if anything was corrupted or lost and then copy it back to be sure the data size stayed the same so vast fail from me
Omg HAHAHA I just bought a microSD card from online and I'm checking to see if what I got is authentic or not. And what do you know, I find a video from you from 2014!!
Gawd this channel has come a long way. I mean, look at those dislikes. But I trust that this video's content is of great quality, as always.
+JinO Chil Hahaha yeah this is pretty old school
Thanks, never had the guts for buying these cards
completely fill it and then see what happens, if its a fake capacity 62gb then it would corrupt the data.
I used a pc and added some games to the sd as in old GameCube games fame on and N64 and some Mario and plug it to my switch
try to fill it up with 64gb movie..you will find that it is not 64gb it is 20gb.....they using special software to look 64gb but they not
Are there any give aways in store ?
Yes, But I have been away for a few weeks recently :)
OK
Intro song?
"darude sandstorm hurr durr im funny"
Please, use HWTest
The only way to test is to write and check 60GB of data as its no doubt a 2GB card that has been moded to report that its 64GB
So many misspelled words on that package gave it away as to be a dumb wannabe copy. I bought a card yesterday still waiting to see if its a good one or dud.
I have stock 15k sandisk original 32gb usd5 per pc.
Capacity- Be carefull with fakes as they make it so the card say a 64GB will show 64GB in windows- Great!! BUT-- when you put it under a tester, you discover it isnt and FAILS the test with only a portion workable at best and bad blocks. You have to test these cards as the average user sees its what it claims and gives good feedback then tries to fill up card only to find errors and loss of data and even "reformat" warning" and cant find card!! A Good card made from a reputable manufacturer PASSES the test and shows full capacity and no bad anything. You can download the testers to do this and even to check good cards for errors ect...
At my first glances I could tell that's a fake because I bought the exact type they're replicating and at cheapest I found a 20 dollar one at best buy and the adapter was different. You can't get a good micro ad card that cheap without a few problems. Mine also came with a protective case for the sd card and it's adapter. Also if it's genuine it shouldn't have 64 gb it should be missing a few available gb on it. So yeah.
I expected a storage test to see if its really 64GB , not 8 or 16...
Not a good review. Reviewer did not use any specialist tools which are widely available to determine whether *** reported *** capacity was indeed the *** actual *** capacity. Even a simple format would reveal this. (Although it would have to be a "full" format and not the "quick" option).
I got a fake one, claimed 256GB but can't process beyond 32GB 😡
because of your this upload I bought that memory card by aliexpress its not working above 8GB it's a fake memory card
what is this music from intro?
my heart from Different heaven
soundcloud.com/different-heaven
he rocks :D
thanks ;)
Darude - Sandstorm
put in the usb and use h2testw a software to check drives to see if it's legit.
dude you didnt test the card properly, you have to use a write and speed program from the pc or laptop
It is not fake... It is just the older version of class 10 ultra cards with 80mb/s of speed. SanDisk do not manufacture this card any more, this is a reason why it is not available on sandisk website .... New cards comes with A1 100mb/s written on it.
Place that in android phone and just download something...boom... the card disappears...download failed...reboot...once again card appears
... Not even going to put it to a technical test?
Maybe is not 64Gb maybe its like 10Gb for that "bug"
hey ill byuy one of these for my lg g3
Your intro mrwhostheboss HAHHA
i had a cheap 128gb one it was crap lol oh well files keep disappearing and when photos were saved to it directly from the camera half of it would be missing
so this is his 1st video.
The movie file was corrupted because those cards actually pretty small and start overwrite when exceed their real capacity. I have one and in reality it's 2 gb.
Just always slow format the sd card to NTFS file system and if its successful than 90% its fine
This isn't really a proper test, the card obviously didn't support the speed it should, the fact that the app crashes should be a warning sign, but still he seems to recommend it, which is ludicrous.
He didn't bother testing what its actual speed was, there's even a USB adapter so he could do it on a pc in a jiffy, or he could probably have gotten an app for the tablet.
Not to mention he did not test whether it actually had the capacity it claimed by either filling it up or preferably using a program like h2testw.
Well you didn't even test it that properly , The thing is with these fake sd/usb cards/drives they try to fool your firmware into telling that your drive has a capacity of 64 gb , You should try to copy it to it's full extent then you can tell for sure if actually bought a 64 GB drive
and why the fuck would i waste my money on that shit if it not real? might as well pay the extra to get the real shit.
