From the website:
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.

Correct. And actually affordable price per gig too!



Also correct!

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
Which one would you recommend if I am getting a 256GB Steam Deck? I plan to have a handful of AAA titles, but also a lot of retro emulation.

I don't understand why the big manufacturers are not pushing for this being a mandatory feature. Then it could be integrated into Windows/Linux/Mac/... directly and if you pop in a counterfeit card you'd get a warning. Kind of like if you try to access a website with invalid/bad https certificate. In light of the scale of counterfeit cards this seems like a reasonable measure.

Those are honestly always cheap. $26. Might go on sale for $24 Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Any of these. They're way less than sandisk so get two 512gb for $110 and compare that to one 1TB sandisk for price

As long as you have WiFi you can always reinstall any games you want

Nope. If you're going all digital, best to have at least 256.

I don't get how the 8tb version of the 5tb gaming WD drive is actually considered portable when it requires a power cable just like the 12tb and 14tb desktop drives.

I never knew that tool existed until about a year ago when someone else posted it in another deal thread. I have 10 of these Samsung Evo Select cards that's I've purchased over the past few years and I checked all 10 of them with Samsung's Authentication Utility and it they were all valid. With all of the posts on Slickdeals over the years about fake Samsung cards from Amazon I was expecting at least half of them to be fake. I don't if I'm just lucky or if others are exaggerating about fake Samsung SD cards on Amazon.
It's always a rare occurrence "until" it happens to you. Then you become part of a vast conspiracy.

When these drives become a miniature size; it is highly likely that we will lose these in the long run or will vanish before our naked eyes. I would always buy bite sized flash drive

Oh no! you fooled me once with chicken bones . . .

The same way that they have drives with moving parts completely powered by USB but aren't really "no power required".

I get it and I could handle sharing the same cord with the data cord since that's what is required anyways, but a whole power brick to lug around with it is another level.
