is there something to test if it's real capacity?It's supposed to be a 16GB Kingston Class 6 card.IT's labelled.In Windows XP Disk Management it shows as 16GB HealthyBut don't know if that can show faked or not.Anyone?

have a look at this h2testw - Gold standard in detecting fake capacity flash ? Fighting flash fraud on Ebayi used the program listed half way down to test some cards i purchased, found out 3 of the 6 were fakes and got refundscheers

hii did download that programbut the test says it WRITES a large file to the disk, takes over 1 hour.is that right? I thought there was something wrong so i stopped.---trying to make sure they are real, so i can use one in the telechip mid, and try to trade the second one for a microSD

 

[mingnon]

yes thats right, it takes a while depending on what size disk you have, the bigger it is the longer it takes

H2TestW KILLED MY NEW 16GB CARD !!It was Write&Verifywent to a little over 4GB and stopped... sad can't access sector or something, But it could verify up to then.So, I tried to verify it, but it said ERROR ACCESSING DEVICE.When I took it out of the PC internal reader and put back in, it says it's only 12MB !!!Only option to Format it, is the 12MB space, but even that returns a - CARD UNFORMATTABLE.It's toast !It was fine until I used H2TestW

all i can say is something wrong with the card, the test prog on my laptop has tested (in total) about 25, with no probs other than discovering mislabelled cards, the faulty ones return a similar messgae to yours.try shutting down the computer, and rebooting and then formatting the card again.

TESTING SECOND MEMORY CARD:So instead of using H2TestW on the second card....I copied over 9GB of movie files from my PC to Card. It took it all no problem.I then formatted it, and shows 15GB free.I went into DOS command and did chkdsk and it shows 15.7GB No Problems.---> would this be safe to assume it's a real, safe card to use?Thanks
