Samsung Authentication Utility can distinguish official Samsung Products from others. It can support both Samsung Memory Card and UFD.
Basically, Amazon has a reputation of some sellers selling fake Samsung SD cards, that look like real ones. I've never gotten a fake card from Amazon, but I've read of plenty of other people that have. The fake cards will be made cheaper, and might not have the full capacity advertised. I've gotten a fake 128GB card from eBay before. It showed as 128GB when plugged into a computer. But when I tried to put more than 10GB of data on it, it kept corrupting the SD card. I got my money back, because it was clearly a fake drive and I had the evidence. Besides the storage problems, the font style, color, and size of the text on the card was slightly off from my other, legitimate SD cards. They're also slower and less reliable.
Anyways, this tool looks like it checks if your SD card is authentic, so if it isn't, you can file for a return on your purchase.

I'm considering using this in a Chromebook that has a paltry 32GB internal storage. I doubt I need anything fast, but if anyone has input I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

SanDisk 256GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 160MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-256G-GN6MA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCR3...8G2X?
All the other models (PRO, etc) certainly could be counterfeited.

So difficult nobody has been able to match them successfully. It would be very very obvious and they would be very very angry at anyone trying it on their own site
