Buying from Amazon? You’re likely getting fakes. Genuine SanDisk memory cards are top notch.

Sure every brand will have lemons, but if you’re seeing consistently bad “SanDisk” cards.. you are pretty certainly not getting genuine product. Find a reputable supplier (which is absolutely not Amazon)

The general advice for buying off Amazon it to make sure that it's actually coming from Amazon.com, not CheapMemoryAmerica1999.

From what I understand, Amazon comingles their own inventory with third party sellers so although the cards they buy might be legit, you're not necessarily guaranteed to get what they bought vs what CheapMemoryAmerica1999 contributed even if you buy the ones from Amazon

I read that as well. But Amazon does have a good return policy with respect to that, and if you read recent reviews it seems like the problem is mostly over.
