First, at different times, I've dealt and sub-distributed memories(memory cards, flash drives, hard disks, RAMs) for LG,HP, SANDISK, ADATA, etc but currently deal with Transcend.
I've been in this business of memories for over 10yrs SO U CAN TRUST ME ON THIS.
I give customers 1 yr warranty for every product purchased.

Second, disregard the following:
Good memory card NECESSARILY have to be costly
Reason: The fake m.card sellers know this misconception so hike the price of d fakes to lend originality to them.

2. The smaller the size of d m.card, d more durable.
This is fallacious
Reason: Durability is a function of originality.
The average memory has a lifespan of 5yrs.
By that I mean if used continuously ( 24/7)

NOW TO THE CRUX OF THE MATTER
-------------------------------------------------------------
Always buy cards of higher classes.
In Ng, we commonly hv classes 4, 10 and 12
The higher d class, the faster the speed with wch data is saved to and retrieved/read from the card.
E.g it will take a longer time to copy a 10mb file to a class 4 card than a class 10 card.
Hence u will hear ppl say d m.card dey slow.
For a given m. Card size (e.g 8gb) d one of a higher class is considerably (not outrageously) costlier than its lower class counterpart.
So a class 12 8gb card will cost more than a class 10 8gb memory card.

THE CLASS OF D CARD IS WRITTEN AS A NUMBER PLACE INSIDE d LETTER U.
So on a class 4 mem card, u will see d number 4 written inside capital letter U.

U can tell an original m. Card in 3 ways
First,
1. By d quality of print on d card.
On d frontside of a Transcend card, for example, the same word will be printed, also d size of d card is printed. Eg. Transcend 4gb is printed.
So Is it d print smudged ('peeling')?
Are some texts darker/bolder than d others?
For an original card, the prints and their edges r sharp, uniform, are not 'peeling'. all texts are of d same print clarity.

2. Turn the back of d card.
This side has gold lines and is d side that sometimes carry a gold chinko-like sticker (people mistake for originality)
The gold sticker is NOT the sign of originality.
For an original card, TWO THINGS ARE ETCHED into the card.
One: Made in Taiwan(or any other country)
Two: the serial number of d card.

NOTE: I said ETCHED, NOT PRINTED in white paint
That is, the above information is 'scratched/scrapped' into the card as if with a needle/sharp object.
So if u scratch this info wt ur nails, u k feel it is written into the card so it's rough and not smooth

NOTE: If all u see is a gold color sticker, the card is fake. U don't need to c Ds sticker ( Transcend m.cards, for example, do nt carry ds sticker)

If d serial number and country of manufacture are printed and note etched, the card is fake.

If the two info pieces r absent, the card is fake.

Method 3
----------------
Here, the card is connected to a sys, this method is technical and will require a video or lengthy and highly illustrated tutorial.
And that's not sth I can do here.

But the two methods above, especially method 2 will more than suffice in procuring a memory card.

Also any original memory seller like my humble self, should be CONFIDENT enuf to give u a 100% warranty shd u ask.
So ask for at least a 1yr warranty.
By 100% i mean, shd d card be returned, the seller checks for physical damage- scratches, burns, damage by water etc- and if all r absent should replace the card at NO COST and 1yr warranty shd starts counting on d new card.
