It’s a winner! The genuine Samsung Evo Select line of Micro SD cards are great. They are reliable and they live up to the speed and capacity classifications they claim to. I’ve been using Samsung cards for years and they are the only brand that consistently doesn’t give me any issues year after year.This 32GB card is no exception. However, by default the card is formatted as FAT32, but I prefer exFAT as FAT32 won’t allow you to transfer a folder containing more than 4GB to the card. That’s annoying if you are moving data from an old card to a new one. FAT32 has 4GB file size limitations, but on a transfer it recognizes a directory containing lots of files as 1 thing, and applies the 4GB limit. This will give you an error (in Windows anyway) that there isn’t enough space available for the transfer. But if you copy the files individually it works fine. Or just format the card to exFAT and it will accept the folder that exceeds 4GB easily. exFAT will work just fine in an Android phone as…
FAKE- PICTURE PROOF I bought this card with Amazon fulfillment, so it’s even more of a shame that it is fake.I happen to own a genuine 128gb card of the same model, you can clearly see the differences.Genuine card:Sharp text, properly aligned logo, well-aligned colors in words, WHITE BORDERS.Fake card:Crooked logo, blurry text (especially the big 128), the colors in the word “Select” aren’t properly aligned, BLACK BORDERS.Genuine reader:Sharp text, clean.Fake reader:Text not as sharp, off-color, signs of wear at the bottom half of reader (chipped paint), dirty (yellowish stain at top-right). Keep in mind I haven’t even opened the packaging and the reader is already worn and dirty.Make sure to check your card is genuine even if your order is fulfilled by Amazon.
