they are the one most gadgets sellers would prescribed for you with sugarcoated mouths.
It's hilarious when you purchased a memory card of 32gigs and you eventually found just 500mb space after consuming the remaining space on the SD card.

Having a significant number of telephones available with colossal storage space, the need of a memory card might be lessened be that as it may, there is still a considerable measure you can utilize it for.

Memory cards are an extremely intriguing advancement. The capacity to store extensive files on such a little gadget is something that beats the creative energy.

However, looking at all these benefits, it is important to note that using a fake SD card can be as painful as being in hell fire. Maybe, I’m exaggerating but can you imagine experiencing prolonged transfer of files from your laptop to your memory card (which is in your phone) due to slow write speed? Depending on the size, it may take long hours.

Also, many of today’s counterfeit microSD cards have much less actual storage than advertised.

For example, a card may have as little as 8GB of actual storage space, but the label on it may read 64GB. The worse part is that your device may also “see” it as a 64GB card – firmware hacks are a common practice and allow this to happen. In fact, your device can and will try to write data to the gigs that don’t exist. This will either overwrite existing data or result in an error. In either case, your data may get corrupted irreversibly.

All it requires is an Android phone, a little data to be able to download a 2MB app and the willingness to do it– the solution is called SD insight.
