Every SD card from Ali is pretty much guaranteed to be fake. Order from an authorized reseller (sold by amazon, not a 3rd party for example) or direct from the manufacturer. Trying to save a couple bucks here will not yield good results.

I bought a 2TB Sansumg (this is the spelling on the SD card) from AliExpress for $3.00 knowing it was impossible because at the time no one made a 2TB SD card.
For all my cams I use these
Regular SD cards are meant for intermittent use in things like point and shoot cameras that access the card momentarily, not continuous like our cams. I discovered this when trying to warranty a regular SanDisk SD card that was in a dash cam.

Did you ever put that card in a device to see what it really was? You may have posted about it before and I forgot.

Nice price on your real selection. I do fine with non-endurance cards in event only recordings, but that price is nice.

The ones that @TomG is using are C10 class. I have 5 C10 class Kensington 23GB on five of my old v3s for over two years on continuous setting. The C10’s are the closest thing to high endurance. I have one in my dash cam that is older than 3 years.

I did. Copied about 50 gigs to it and it reported about 1.5TB free
No way I would trust it. Got it as a joke.

Found a neat program that will reveal the true storage capacity
This is the report about the 2TB SANSUMG

Steve Gibson is amazing. Used his products since around late 80s or early 90s.

Maybe Aliexpress has a new math multiplier?

Hey I give them credit, they’re no longer using 2GB chips to make the fakes. At this point the 2G are probably more expensive than the 8.
