At the bottom under "Card & UFD Software" called "Samsung Card-UFD Authentication Utility"
Amazon is known to have mixed fakes with reals on their stash so its lottery but if you get a Samsung from Amazon at least you can check if its fake with this utility from Samsung.
More trusted brand. Samsung is probably #1 on micro sd
Samsung has an utility software to check if you got a fake even if they were directly from Amazon(Not 3rd party sellers from Amazon but ship and sold by Amazon can be fake as well)
The rest are hard to tell until you run capacity and speed test, I suggest you do this immediately when you get your non-samsung micro sd...

I think the blue ones are pro plus and they're better with a good USB reader. other blueish might be Evo select which is not as fast in write speed maybe.

Ugh, I just purchased the Samsung Evo Select 512 about 4 days ago. Not sure it's worth the hassle for a measly 4 bucks.
These Samsung cards are surprisingly highly rated for SteamDeck & and I'm sure the switch. I was going to get a SanDisk, but the branding gets a little confusing when it comes to effective benefit.

We don't really need this warning on every SD card deal from Amazon.
"shipped and sold by Amazon" should be legit product sourced by Amazon from Samsung, while "fulfilled by Amazon" means that Amazon is handling the warehousing and shipping of product sourced from 3rd party suppliers. The occasional Reddit thread claiming fake micro SDs from Amazon is almost certainly from people who confuse the two.
I have received fake usb drives from Amazon before. now I avoid buying any usb drive or microsd to avoid the hassle of verifying and returning. With the volume of stuff they sell and how much 3rd party stuff they also carry, I can see the mix-up could happen over time.
I just buy from another retail sources that don't sell 3rd party stuff on these small storage devices. For this deal, I used Best Buy to price match Amazon pricing and got next day shipping just as fast as Amazon Prime.

Thanks, didn't know that existed. My cards are only writing at 5Mbps. Gonna authenticate tonight.

Apparently there is no discernible difference between Evo Plus & Evo Select. (https://www.windowscent
