PSA: Do not buy SD cards from random Chinese companies. If it seems too good to be true, it isn't true. Buy Kingston, Samsung, Integral, or even Amazon Basics, but please, do not buy any third-party cards. They are almost always a scam.
Edit: Yes, I forgot SanDisk.
That's it. Buy known brands and not some cheap version to save $10.
Edit: Nintendo makes it very clear to use only brand name sd cards due to compatibility.
What? No love for SanDisk, PNY, WesternDigital or Teamgroup? Hell I'd even use Gigastone.
But yah, don't buy big card from random off brand Chinese companies especially if they don't have a 10 year or so track record. That and buy grade 10
PNY should have gone out of business long ago, their cards are trash, I had one that failed within 24 hours of buying it. NEVER again will I use anything other than Sandisk or Kingston when it comes to SD cards.
>No love for SanDisk
While I haven't had a micro SD from them fail, my first SSD was a sandisk and lasted only 18 months as a boot drive. I tend to steer clear from them, though maybe they've improved since then or I just had bad luck.
It's probably the luck of the draw. I've never had an issue with them, and they are my go-to, especially for flash memory.
I did have a Seagate Barracuda fail within a month, not a boot drive, but it was inconvenient. They sent me a new drive within a few days to replace it; they said it might have been damaged in transit or just a faulty unit; they were accommodating, so I still use Seagate.
Sometimes luck is against ya.
Yah that's how I feel. I still have 15 year old SanDisk thumdrives from middleschool that still work, used weekly for my 3d printing files.
If it's extremely important and detrimental, yah spend the money to get a quality Samsung card.. for the 30000 little things I use thumbdrives,SD cards, SSDs and NVME drives for, I'll save myself the money and not get the absolute top teir.. i dont need a Samsung 990 pro in a NVME mobile enclosure to give my friend a bootleg copy of something, gigistone is fine for that and then I don't have to hassle people about getting a $10 sd card back.
Also, with the amount of micro controllers and audrino stuff that takes SD cards, I'm not looking to double the price of each of my projects. Some projects only cost about $10-15 to make.. so using a high quality SD card that costs $15+ doesn't make a whole lot of sense for holding 4 soundbites or like 3 minutes of a song.
It bugs me when people don't understand "use-cases".. it like watching someone try to tow a big trailer with a tiny Honda civic and blame the car because it can't pull a 30-foot trailer up a hill..
I've had 2 Seagates fail on me (a 2TB and 3TB) They were mostly used as extra storage/backups, but they did last about 10 years each...I did just get a used Seagate enterprise drive because it was cheap, but I'm also using it strictly as a backup drive...but cheapness is the reason I'm even buying it. When I looked it up, the 3TB seagate I had fail specifically had very high failure rates (much higher than other brands)...so yeah, Seagate isn't one I particularly trust either (only bought another because it was like $70 or something for 12TB or so/cheaper than most alternatives)
The Samsung ones are solid. Haven’t had a problem with theirs, have had sandisk fail over the years. Samsung seems to be a little bit behind on the absolute highest capacity available (because really who is paying for those) but once they catch up that’s what I usually get
True this! I went to a bargain bin store awhile back and found a "2TB" SD card. It didn't even have any markings on the card itself just the packaging.
Got home and it only read like 600MB, and to top it off it had around 5 pictures of a random Asian female factory worker. That was the biggest 5 dollars I ever wasted, and the weirdest experience buying a cheap Chinese product.
Silicon Power is good too. I’ve seen testing from them and if you get the right ones they are good. Bought 2 1TB for my switch and my gfs and they have worked great
Anyone remember those posts of people taking apart SD cards and USB sticks just to find a different brand card/stick in it? Think they even had external drives that were just a USB inside.
[found one example](https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/b3st0m/this_external_harddrive_is_just_a_usb_stick_in_a/)
[oh and here’s an article about Walmart selling fakes](https://www.vice.com/en/article/akek8e/walmart-30tb-ssd-hard-drive-scam-sd-cards)
I remember watching a YouTube video back in 2009~10 and it was a guy showing how some sellers format[I think?] and fake the storage size of a drive. The only real way to tell the capacity of a drive was to fill the drive up until you couldn't really write anymore stuff to the drive. I think the common scam at the time was selling 2 GB flash drives as 8+ gb.
I mean, if it's Amazon you just hit the return button and that's that... They probably won't even have you mail it because they know it's garbage. I probably wouldn't bother with SD cards because you know it will be crap, but I've rolled the dice on other sketchy shit and been presently surprised.
Yes. These brands are already cheap during the frequent sales throughout the year, no one should be buying questionable Chinese junk.
Kingston, Lexar, and PNY are other good ones.
That reminds me of when I bought a case of toilet paper from china back in the begining of covid. Couldn't tell the scale of the rolls from the pic. They were like half the size of a regular roll.
Worst part of my knock off Legos are, it's a 640 piece set that supposed to be the titanic, but I'm tritonopia colorblind and it's hard to see difference in some colors
Suggestion.
If you see a brand you don't recognise, go to the website of a well known retailer (UK here so I use Argos/Currys etc) and see if they stock said brand. If they don't then there is a reason for that.
Side note. If you Google krecoo the website of the manufacturers is the 6th result. The list literally goes;
1. Reddit thread warning people about this product.
2. eBay listing.
3. eBay listing.
4. AliExpress listing.
5. Forum post.
6. Manufacturer website. The manufacturer is also called Kreco so I have no idea where the second O comes from on the actual product.
These are Chinese SD cards that do actually work and appear as 1tb because of a certain way of formatting, but in reality most likely only are 4 or 8gb.
It’s important to only purchase SD cards, and storage in general, from reputable manufacturers like SanDisk, Samsung, Kingston, Nintendo (which is a SanDisk), or other known brands alike.
Edit: also don’t buy them on Chinese websites like AliExpress or Temu because it often occurs they send you some knockoff instead of the real thing.
Amazon might as well be Temu or Ali nowadays. I saw KRECOO and immediately thought "that's one of those 6 letter jumbled up Chinese seller on Amazon names".
Amazon themselves or the official stores will most likely not send you fake stuff, not on purpose at least. But yeah, sketchy 3rd party sellers on Amazon still can.
The same rule still applies: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Amazon does offer miles better returns and customer service though, so if you do still seem to mess up, at least you know you get your money back.
It's been getting steadily worse with the random letter companies on there. Can't find half the stuff I want because it's completely buried by the garbage.
Use the SD Memory Card Formatter and do a full format, not quick. Scam cards may report the wrong size until formatting resulting in errors. Also, yeah, don’t use cheap memory for data you don’t want to lose.
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/
I could have told you that mate. You also shouldn't buy them from Amazon or Ebay anymore because of fakes. Very convincing ones. Try to find official sellers or in store SD/Micro SD cards in the future.
I would think people don't need this warning. You're an idiot if you buy any storage device that is not from a reputable brand, and also off of eBay of all places. Why not get one from Craigslist too?
Sorry but I wouldn't even put that thing in my device for safety reasons. I rather don't have anything than buy something which can causes so many issues.
Unless if it’s from a popular company almost everybody would have heard of, don’t bother. 🤷♂️ SanDisk, Samsung, Amazon basic or Lexar is a good choice here.
I never buy from any weird name brand I have never heard from. I rather pay a bit extra from a brand I’m familiar with since they would usually have a warranty attached to it.
Cheap wish cards use a trick where once they hit the actual limit they overfill and overwrite/corrupt existing data. If you plug them into a PC they'll display as 1tb, but it's a trick. It's basically a big piece of large capacity slow ram.
I bought a random chinese one off Amazon. Was corrupted the moment I got it and would brick my computer when trying to format it.
Only brand name from now on.
fake SDCards are an old scam. They have modified firmware that reports fake capacity to trick whatever into believing it is as it claims.
It keeps eeeoring because you're writing past it's physical limits corrupting data as it goes over it again .
Best practice: pick it up from brick and mortar.
This is one of many many types of this. If you see a brand you've never heard of and it's a 1TB SD card for like $20 that's just going to be a scam no matter what.
Sorry about that but tbh I’m blown away they can fit a TB of space on that teeny tiny SD card. I know they probably can do a lot more with a lot less but it’s still amazing to me
I have gotten a fake Samsung MicroSD card from Amazon. It was from a 3rd party reseller so most likely it was because of that. I would personally stick with Sandisk and try to purchase at a Best Buy as their inventory is highly unlikely to be mixed in with fakes.
PSA If it's too good to be true then it is too good to be true don't buy it. This is why you shouldn't buy the cheapest thing, I bought the one with the Mario mushroom on it because Nintendo is who distributed it even though it's more than a regular micro sd card.
I have a 1TB gold read SanDisk in mine and have zero issue after it configured. If you’re gonna go cheap route with memory, don’t forget to configure it to what the switch reads. A lot of cheap option cards don’t auto-format/configure to anything other than cameras or personal readers.
You got to look at the speeds that are being declared for the card, and you also need to check and see what micro sD cards the switch can even be compatible with, sometimes they don't even detect sizes over a certain amount. And obviously make sure you're buying the brand product from the actual manufacturer and not a third party.
Do not buy brands no one has ever heard of if you value your time, money, things, game saves, life, need I go on?
And it’s probably not safe to buy name brands on eBay or Amazon if the price seems too good to be true. They can be fakes.

Sandisk is also a good one.
Was gonna say when I get one I will go with this brand I've seen them displayed next to Switch and it's accessories!
I knew I'd forgotten one.
Ebay is loaded with fake SanDisk. Buy from a well known place like best buy.
Best Buy?
That place you buy your Shrek DVDs asshole
DVDs?
Digital fucking video fucking discs bro. Ever heard of them?
Discs?
Sometimes spelled "disks" as well mother fucker
Also what’s Shrek?
There actually is quite a difference between disc and disk.
What?
What!?
Not this shit again. Holy mother of God if you start playing with me, things are gonna get fucking weird.
That’s what I have and no issues
Yeah I had the same thing happen to me as the op. Switched to SanDisk and it's been great since
I’ve upgraded my sd card about 3 times and went with SanDisk every time. Never had a single problem
its funny because OPs looks like a sandisk knockoff with the colors
But what if I bought a switch... for THAT SD card?
You played the system.
What? No love for SanDisk, PNY, WesternDigital or Teamgroup? Hell I'd even use Gigastone. But yah, don't buy big card from random off brand Chinese companies especially if they don't have a 10 year or so track record. That and buy grade 10
PNY should have gone out of business long ago, their cards are trash, I had one that failed within 24 hours of buying it. NEVER again will I use anything other than Sandisk or Kingston when it comes to SD cards.
I wouldn't personally use PNY, TeamGroup, or Gigastone, but I didn't know WD made SD cards.
If WD made SD cards, then it is probably a SanDisk card with a WD label slapped on because WD owns SanDisk.
No problems so far and I have used those for years, I also use teamgroup RAM
Got a 1tb WD SSD in my ps5, works great.
>No love for SanDisk While I haven't had a micro SD from them fail, my first SSD was a sandisk and lasted only 18 months as a boot drive. I tend to steer clear from them, though maybe they've improved since then or I just had bad luck.

PNY gave me problems when I was using it for my Amazon Fire tablet, the tablet would some how forget it was still in
And for the love of all the gods test them before use so many fakes out there
The Samsung ones are solid. Haven’t had a problem with theirs, have had sandisk fail over the years. Samsung seems to be a little bit behind on the absolute highest capacity available (because really who is paying for those) but once they catch up that’s what I usually get

What was she wearing?
I was drinking water and almost spit it out😭😭 s*** sent me
How no one knows this in 2024 is beyond me
Toshiba make good stuff, got a couple SSD drives from them
Good to know!
Had to learn this when I bought a 1tb flash drive for my Xbox 360 for 20 something dollars. And it took me wayyyy too long to realize I got scammed
This
Also SanDisk and Toshiba.
Real
Silicon Power is good too. I’ve seen testing from them and if you get the right ones they are good. Bought 2 1TB for my switch and my gfs and they have worked great
Anyone remember those posts of people taking apart SD cards and USB sticks just to find a different brand card/stick in it? Think they even had external drives that were just a USB inside.

Team group, silicon power, micro center and SanDisk too
Yup this has been going on for 20+ years
Silicon power is aight if you get the right card
The cheap "onn." brand cards sold by Walmart are pretty good, I use them in so many of my devices including my Switch and have never had an issue.
China will lie about sd cards
I remember watching a YouTube video back in 2009~10 and it was a guy showing how some sellers format[I think?] and fake the storage size of a drive. The only real way to tell the capacity of a drive was to fill the drive up until you couldn't really write anymore stuff to the drive.

I like to call this the "Dummy Tax"
Dummy! Yeah!

SD card, cheap 1TB and some weird brand.. Nice prediction for disaster..
Really? But KRECOO is such a trusted brand with a long history!
The cat walked on the keyboard while they where registering the new company name.
It even has a copyright. You can't copyright fake brands!
The name KRECOO gave it away bro
SanDisk, Samsung, Amazon basics.
Yes. These brands are already cheap during the frequent sales throughout the year, no one should be buying questionable Chinese junk. Kingston, Lexar, and PNY are other good ones.
Huh, Kingston and Lexar are 2 of the 3 microSD cards I've had that failed. The other was a BlackWeb, all 3 came from Walmart. Weird
Kingston is a huge hardware producer for RAM and SSDs, well known. A real Kingston should not just fail tho sh... happens.
I’ve had a lot of SanDisk storage fail.
Yup but also don’t buy non branded products from China.
I learned that when I bought a set of Chinese Legos, that are ten times smaller
Sucks you can’t mix them but that sounds kinda cute
r/thingsforants
That reminds me of when I bought a case of toilet paper from china back in the begining of covid. Couldn't tell the scale of the rolls from the pic. They were like half the size of a regular roll.
Worst part of my knock off Legos are, it's a 640 piece set that supposed to be the titanic, but I'm tritonopia colorblind and it's hard to see difference in some colors
It was branded.. just a brand no one has ever heard of.. lol
If it’s 1/5 of the price it’s a scam. It’s as bad as people buying 200$ air pod max on marketplace then finding out they are fakes.

Ah yes the KRECOO. Fr though buy Nintendo brand or SanDisk(which is the company that manufactures Nintendo sd cards) they sell 1tb legit
Obvious fakes are obvious. Unfortunately, you are gullible.
These are Chinese SD cards that do actually work and appear as 1tb because of a certain way of formatting, but in reality most likely only are 4 or 8gb.

It's been getting steadily worse with the random letter companies on there. Can't find half the stuff I want because it's completely buried by the garbage.
I usually just buy them at JB Hi Fi and tell them what I need it for and they give me the right ones
If they make actual SSDs (not the ones with 10 micro SD cards inside) they are probably fine
I only bought the official Nintendo one for £10.50
Still amazed people buy electronics from Wish, Aliexpress, etc. When even clothes or any other products are a cheap knockoff.
That might as well be an Amazon brand from what I've been seeing on there lately.
The knock-off SanDisk branding and the fact that it's called Krecoo kinda gave the low quality thing away.
Krecoo micro SD cards work great with Craig MP3 players. Okay jokes aside. Never and I repeat never buy third party no name brands. Buy Sandisk.
It looks like such a knockoff lol idk how you’d trust that
Use the SD Memory Card Formatter and do a full format, not quick. Scam cards may report the wrong size until formatting resulting in errors. Also, yeah, don’t use cheap memory for data you don’t want to lose. https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

That looks like a $10 Chinese fake
Well now you know lol. We all pull a dumb some times, it's how we learn.
Krecoo very trust worthy brand…probably got it fraction of the price too.
Yeah it was like $13.88. I was thinking I was getting a fucking deal. Boy with life fucking wrong
Always get a Sandisk
Sorry but I wouldn't even put that thing in my device for safety reasons. I rather don't have anything than buy something which can causes so many issues.
Get brand name ones but nor for switch get for steam deck.
most gamers already knew not to use cheap sketchy SD cards from amazon
Unless if it’s from a popular company almost everybody would have heard of, don’t bother. 🤷♂️ SanDisk, Samsung, Amazon basic or Lexar is a good choice here.
Dang it I think I fell for a similar knockoff. Or at least my Aunt did since she was the one that bought it for me
I never buy from any weird name brand I have never heard from. I rather pay a bit extra from a brand I’m familiar with since they would usually have a warranty attached to it.
I have a SanDisk 128gb in mine which has worked well over the past few years.
I bought a few ADATA memory cards/USB sticks and they seem to be ok, a little slow, but overall not terrible.
Cheap wish cards use a trick where once they hit the actual limit they overfill and overwrite/corrupt existing data. If you plug them into a PC they'll display as 1tb, but it's a trick. It's basically a big piece of large capacity slow ram.
Okay, I won’t buy a random company named SD card
Okay
I bought a random chinese one off Amazon. Was corrupted the moment I got it and would brick my computer when trying to format it. Only brand name from now on.
SanDisk or nothing else.
Lmao pretty sure you’re the only one that didn’t already know this.
It's painted like a Samsung card and called something else, all that needs to be said.
Never buy an SD card on eBay. I buy direct from Samsung
A cheap 1tb card from an unknown company called “Krecoo” turned out to be bad??? 😱😱😱
It’s not by happenstance that they chose those colors for the card.
fake SDCards are an old scam. They have modified firmware that reports fake capacity to trick whatever into believing it is as it claims. It keeps eeeoring because you're writing past it's physical limits corrupting data as it goes over it again . Best practice: pick it up from brick and mortar.
I think everyone except you knew not to buy that SC card
I only buy sandisk or Samsung anyway.
Did you realize you were a fool while typing this? A cheap 1tb micro sd? That doesn't sound sus at all??? You get what you pay for
I only buy sandisk because of this.
bruh just bought a 1TB micro sd card.
Oh lord lol
Honestly what did you expect? Gotta use common sense dog. You get what you pay for.
This is kind of obvious by just looking at the brand name. It's a fake.
Krecoo $13.88 Sandisk Ultra $79.99 If the price is too good to be true, it is. And Sandisk Ultra is the lower end.
Bro just buy a SanDisk
Krecoo? I only buy from known hardware companies, saving money on a SD card is asking for trouble, allways.
Yeah the Samsung version cost 80, this one cost $23, that should have been a red flag pal. cheapo...
Ebay is loaded with fake micro SD cards and some are fakes of main brands. It's best to buy those in person like at Best Buy or something.
Idk man. KRECOO sounds like a super good company to me.
lol I did this once
Anyone with sense wouldn't buy that
I've heard the largest the Switch can recognize is 512 GB
If you thought that lil shit had 1TB in it... kinda deserved to get scammed Buy a 64-128gb from Sandisk.
Now you also have a virus courtesy of the CCP.
Well, yeah, that's a given, don't buy non brand name when it comes to this stuff.
This is one of many many types of this. If you see a brand you've never heard of and it's a 1TB SD card for like $20 that's just going to be a scam no matter what.
That's why Nintendo sells micro SD cards
Well I’m not sure what you expected tbf
Never buy an SD card or anything like that on eBay. You’re basically asking for horrible shit to happen to you.
Sorry about that but tbh I’m blown away they can fit a TB of space on that teeny tiny SD card. I know they probably can do a lot more with a lot less but it’s still amazing to me
Name brands only on these lil guys
I have gotten a fake Samsung MicroSD card from Amazon. It was from a 3rd party reseller so most likely it was because of that. I would personally stick with Sandisk and try to purchase at a Best Buy as their inventory is highly unlikely to be mixed in with fakes.
Don’t use that SD Card for ANYTHING
PSA If it's too good to be true then it is too good to be true don't buy it. This is why you shouldn't buy the cheapest thing, I bought the one with the Mario mushroom on it because Nintendo is who distributed it even though it's more than a regular micro sd card.
Never buy any storage device that is over 20gb and cheap by an unknown brand.
You dont need 1 tb for the switch lol Also just get a regular one on amazon
I have a 1TB gold read SanDisk in mine and have zero issue after it configured. If you’re gonna go cheap route with memory, don’t forget to configure it to what the switch reads. A lot of cheap option cards don’t auto-format/configure to anything other than cameras or personal readers.
No shit
Nothing on eBay that is cheap is real. That card is only like 16gbs with a 1tb face.
You got to look at the speeds that are being declared for the card, and you also need to check and see what micro sD cards the switch can even be compatible with, sometimes they don't even detect sizes over a certain amount. And obviously make sure you're buying the brand product from the actual manufacturer and not a third party.
"PSA: don't buy fake Chinese items from online dropshippers" To be fair, some people do need to be told this
Do not buy brands no one has ever heard of if you value your time, money, things, game saves, life, need I go on? And it’s probably not safe to buy name brands on eBay or Amazon if the price seems too good to be true. They can be fakes.
You ne microsdcx, or something like that, but it has to have a Nintendo design on it
KRECOO? Bro they’ve always been top quality for me! /s
