Bought PNY Turbo 64GB UHS-3, Fake?

[DaCoder]

Card comes up on phone as "New Lexar SD card detected", and SD Insight tells me its Barun Electronics...

Paid 40 for it, highly rated seller: Adorama

 

Fake or just PNY out-sourcing?

[Electronics Wizardy]

Probably just the internal name of the controller chip.

Probably pny outsourcing but to be sure get one of those usb tester softwares

[DaCoder]

Ok well the phone (Moto X Pure) tells me the new SD card it slow. And that apps may stutter...

However it did that on my Samsung 32GB EVO+ UHS-1 card too.

 

USB tester? Pray tell.

Try maxing the USB out... If it doesn't go to 64GB (which truly less than that) then it is fake.

You mean just moving 64GB of files?

Did an SD card benchmark, read: 59MB/s, write: 9.72MB/s

Supposed to be UHS-3 speeds: read: 90MB/s, write: 30MB/s

So either it is fake or my benchmarking software is inaccurate.

So... Should I go after a refund or no? Other people using the same benchmarking software report UHS-3 speeds, and no Barun Electronics in SD Insight.

On top of that, all the one star reviews on that product have the same results: https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Turbo-Performance-MicroSDXC-P-SDUX64U390G-GE/product-reviews/B00W77C1QU/ref=cm_cr_dp_qt_hist_one?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&showViewpoints=0

 

Perhaps I should have bought the $10 cheaper one from Amazon directly: https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Elite-X-64GB-microSDXC-Adapter/dp/B01G26R652/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

Yeah, I would test to see if it actually has 64GB of storage. Just load it up with movies, OS's, Music files... Etc. If it fills at like 16GB's or 30GB's then return that USB stick. Be sure to format to NTFS as Fat32 doesn't allow files larger then like 4GB or something along those lines.

I am filling it up with vpk files from Titanfall, (about all that game is useful for now haha) and will then try to play some of the music i placed in the same folder after it is done (to see if it is writing over old sectors.

[DaCoder]

Ok test done, it is 64gb, but looking up what SD insight says the card is reveals a uhs-1 64gb card. Others have benched the same PNY card on my same phone using the same software at 69ish read, 29ish write. As far as apps go, its exactly the same speed as the Samsung EVO+ i pulled out.

Is it fake or is there something else im missing?

If its fake i will hope for a refund, as the reviews say the replacement was also reading as fake

Yeah, I was about to say, Adorama is one of the largest photography online stores...I'm doubtful the card would be fake. Almost all of my photography gear comes from them.

 

Happy you got it sorted out though.
