I’ve had a lot of hilarious experiences getting a
Memory or SD card of 16GB only to discover
that its just 2GB SD Card. I’ve also use some
tools online like memory card expander that has
the capacity to expand, flash drives, memory
card and the likes from 2GB to 8GB. But what
actually bothers my mind is there should be a
tool to check for fake SD card.
Have you ever wondered why on earth you
remove your SD card from your Smartphone,
only for you to return it back inside and it tells
you “memory card corrupted” ? Have you been in a
situation where you pay heavily to get a 32GB
SD card, only for you to discover that it can only
take 8GB files and data.
But I’ll be showing briefly, on how to detect a
fake memory card so that you won’t fall victim
next time. Relax, and follow me carefully.
I’ll talk about two tools right away.
How Can I Detect a Fake SD Card?

SD Insight: The packaging on SD cards can
make it difficult to distinguish a fake SD card
from the real thing. But with SD insight, you can
easily get that done. SD Insight is a free, fast

card manufacturing details, original size and lot
more.

phone. (Note: You may need to turn off your cell
phone to do this).

your SD card information is displayed in an easy
to understand format on the cell phone's screen.

your device, you will also be able to see details
for each of the memory cards.

against its class rating for the minimum data
transfer rate (e.g. Classes 2, 4, 6 and 10)
