Popular Post userabcd Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2022 Particularly like this review: "Sep 14th, 2022 Check that the order has been placed. Ordered 512GB but got 8GB very impressive. Capacity:8GB" Would only buy such devices from reputable stores such as JIB, BananaIT etc... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The cheapest 256G card from Invade IT (definitely legit) is 930 Baht. Soooo ... Entirely UP2U. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Chance Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) This one looks pretty good. Lots of good reviews. 198 baht ใช้ได้ไม่เกินวัน แย่มาก I guess you guys are right. Edited November 6, 2022 by Don Chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 SD cards are quite cheap, but if 'too good to be true' ... nuff said Order from manufacturer's site, or 'flagship store' on LAZ/Shopee I'm a SanDisk fan, and last one order was inexpensive, and registered on their warranty site. Want it now, go to 'Advice Dist.' for about the same price, and again, warranty registration done.

Lots of good reviews. 198 baht It is 100% fake or just possibly a factory reject, there are numerous ways to fake the actual memory, along with chips that do not perform as they are supposed to. Even the claimed full price is fraudulent. Here is a genuine card certainly you may find these genuinely discounted 10% or even 20% However the statement “if it looks to good to be true it probably is” is one to live by. The sources quoted, I won’t name it due to Thai libel laws has so many fakes that I would never buy these products from most sellers there. There are genuine sellers, this is one of the few I would trust. Edited November 6, 2022 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I have a plastic box tucked in the back of a drawer that contains probably 20 counterfeit SD cards from Lazada, Pantip Plaza and even a few from Fortune Tower. Yes; I'm a slow learner but my brain finally accepted that in the world of flash memory, if it's a bargain, it's probably not a bargain. This also goes for SSDs and thumb drives. Now, I won't buy memory on Lazada for any price. JIB, Banana, Advice and Invadeit only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Loads of fake batteries on Lazada, another thing to buy from proper shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaisail Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The JIB store on Lazada will sell a genuine memory card. I bought one like you did a few years ago and I returned it because it was a proven fake card. I got my money back and ordered the authentic card from JIB through Lazada and the memory card is still in use and working perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I just bought a couple of xiaomi branded 512Gb SD cards on lazada for about 250 baht each incl. shipping. One's in a tablet and the other's in the new laptop. Capacity is as advertised and I transferred some stuff to the one in tablet and that went fast enough. I understand that read/write cycles may be an issue going forward but so far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because it is known that it is perfectly possible to fix cards so that they lie and report a capacity they don’t have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a SanDisk flagship store on Lazada, I bought many cards from there. Directly sold by SanDisk, of course no 256gb cards for 100 baht.

I have a SanDisk 256 GB full with data. I still can read everything but not write anymore. Can't return it for a replacement with all the data on it ... ???????????? Hard drives that I use in the computer are always encrypted because of this if they are not used in RAID 0 anyway. But this 256 GB SD card needed to be readable by the TV ????????????

If you can transfer data off to something else, then return for exchange. One of mine krapped out, and was surprised how easy the return/exchange was. This was a while back, and they tested and replaced with a better version, as mine was discontinued. Why I stick with SanDisk. No failure since, and think I have 3 larger externals. And a few small ones (32GB) for cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW. I just got a 2Tb xiaomi branded USB A/C stick. The write speed is incredibly slow, at least with small files. I transferred 69k of files that were 22.2GB of data and while the transfer was successful as far as I know it took several hours, I don’t know how long because I left it running overnight. The read speed is better but still not great. So it is possible that I did get a 2Tb memory stick but to test it with data will take weeks, but then it is ok for transferring very few small files from my desktop to my iPad. It’s a shame as the build quality is really good, but it was so ridiculously cheap I didn’t even expect that it would work at all. So value for money? Probably A usable item? Probably not. Should anyone buy it? No. Edited January 3, 2023 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the price of 1 stang per GB vs 6 to 12 Baht is a bit of a giveaway, isn’t it? ???? I’m transferring the data using a real 2TB SSD, it’s going to take about 17 minutes Edited January 3, 2023 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
