Use "Samsung Card-UFD Authentication Utility" to verify. If you got a fake, return it before Amazon's return window is closed. It's 1 month or 30 days. BestBuy only has 14 days to return.

USB2 vs USB3 isn't really the limiting factor. UHS-I sdxc standard only supports up to 104 MB/s on the sd interface. To get higher people were supposed to upgrade to UHS-II which has extra data pins.

For whatever reason takeup of UHS:II has been slow so vendors started using DDR208 which uses fhe UHS-I interface and bumps up the clock and data rates.

Not all USB reader/writer adapters have support for DDR208. Samsung usb adapter does so it can reach the data rates Samsung claims.

If you stick the pro plus sdxc in a reader or device that only supports UHS-I without the unofficial DDR208 extensions, the interface would limit the card to around 104 MB/s even though the card was capable of more.

I wonder how many people don't know this and just claim they got fake samsungs when their benchmarks don't hit 160/120. I have gotten plenty of these from Amazon and they have all been legit.

My simple way to tell fake from real is look at the side cut and see if the underlying material is white or black. The Pro Plus i have gotten are all white. I have read some people claim the forgers don't want to spend the extra few pennies to match the material so they just take black sdxc's and print their forgeries.

USB 2.0 is only 480 mbps so it would be a limiting factor since that translates to about 50 MBps after overhead.

For the same price shipped, I rather go with the retailer with less chance of sending me a fake.

fake items sold and ship by amazon is a myth. they dont mix my fake chinese memory cards inventory with their genuine ones. otherwise i am a millionaire now.

what stops bestbuy from reselling their memory cards from those who bought fake on ebay then exchanged in their stores?

Stand corrected. Too many gens of USB. Main issue for most people though is the DDR208 pseudo-proprietary extensions.

it's a high speed reader
Quote from guest2011 :
$18.12 after tax and best buy reward $5 which came in email for unknown reason. Bought $13 earbuds a few years ago. The reader is not usb 3.x, i assume. I'd rather pay $5-8 for 3.0 reader from ebay.
USB2 certainly would limit you < 480Mbps (even less with handshake) ~ 24MB/s vs 90+!

Samsung has an authentication tool. and Amazon does have fakes, back when they intermingled their stock with 3rd pty items.
