Beware of fake Kingston 1GB SD cards!
Last response: in Components
Hi.
Take a look at this. The ebay seller in question either does not know these are fake or is actively selling counterfeit items.
The cards are actually modified 256Mbyte, with firmware which responds with correct size when interrogated.
Nearly lost a lot of data thanks to this , luckily I keep backups.
Also I purchased a fake Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo and a Sandisk 2GB Transflash, both of which are counterfeit and do not work as advertised.
