Simple inquiry, other than amazon and ebay. Anyone know a good place a to pick up a 1TB micro sd card by sandisk or other recommended distributers. I am looking for this one but cheaper.

Re: Micro SD Cards
Don't try too hard to save money on SD cards. Fakes are incredibly common, and even sneak into the legitimate supply chains of major retailers. By all means, look for a good sale, but make sure you buy an SD card only from a place where it easy to get a refund or replacement. Some place you can visit in person, or an online retailer with painless refunds like Amazon.
That said, $230 USD is the MSRP, so at that point, you can be guaranteed not to get a fake by just buying it directly from the manufacturer (https://shop.westerndigital.com/product ... 1T00-AN6MA).
Also, that card is on sale until midnight tonight for $180 USD at B&H, though it's a pre-order.

Re: Micro SD Cards
Yeah, definitely buy from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Micro Center, etc... Fakes are so common. On something like a 1TB card, don't expect to see prices drop much more than 40-50 bucks below MSRP, during a really, really good sale. If you find something discounted more than that, it's probably fake.

We apologise for the inconvenience
Re: Micro SD Cards
Just make sure if buying from Amazon that you purchase a name brand. Amazon is crawling with fake-branded extremely large fake SD cards. I don't know why Amazon hasn't cracked down on that.TooBeaucoup wrote:Yeah, definitely buy from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Micro Center, etc...

Re: Micro SD Cards
Agreed. And even then, run tests on it, cause fakes have slipped into Amazon's supply, too.darcagn wrote:Just make sure if buying from Amazon that you purchase a name brand.
