512 GB microSD card under $8

Is this 512GB Micro SD HC Card with FREE Adapter Class 10 Universal TF Flash Memory Card $7.99 + Free S/H for real?

Doubt it - general rule of thumb..... if it sounds too good to be true - then it generally is

Also: as far as I know, the largest Micro SD is 128 GB.

I know what you meant, but perhaps you will need to brush up your knowledge on this particular item (see the links below).

• SANDISK PREMIERES WORLD’S HIGHEST CAPACITY SD CARD FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE VIDEO AND PHOTO CAPTURE
• Microdia Somehow Fit 512GB Onto A MicroSD Card
• There's a 512GB microSD card coming in July (2015), but you likely can't afford it
• SanDisk Extreme PRO 512GB UHS-I/U3 SDXC Flash Memory Card with up to 95MB/s- SDSDXPA-512G-G46
• SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro UHS-I SDXC U3 Memory Card (Class 10)
• WANNA STORE HALF A TERABYTE OF PHOTOS? YOU CAN WITH THIS MICROSD CARD … ‘TECHNICALLY’

Those AliExpress, e-bay, and/or some online sellers wanna make quick cash by selling fake high-capacity USB storage and hope innocent buyers won't be able to use up to its original capacity (mostly around 8 GB) before their return policy has expired. By then, it will be too late for those buyers to complain asking for a refund. I know this because some friends almost became the victims of such a fraud when they bought some faked 2 TB (reality is 4 GB) USB memory sticks (HP brand) from some AliExpress sellers. Using a simple utility, i.e. F3 - an alternative to h2testw, I was able to help proving the sellers intentionally sold faked items and AliExpress immediately issued them full refunds without needing to return the items.

Great job bringing awareness to the problem of fake memory habibie. The only reason I'm not as susceptible to buying fake flash is, when it fails, it all fails and prevention takes too long to backup a 128 GB (yes I know it's really like 8GB but the up front spec is still too high to keep all the eggs in one basket) USB 2.0 Whether flash or USB stick.

With that in mind I'm going to do everything possible to resist USB 2.0 sticks anymore, and then attempt to always buy 64 GB, unless it's a 32 GB Turbo priced unreasonably low and available locally.

But to reiterate, my best and worst USB sticks have the PNY logo on them. The tiny ones, that look like Ultra Fit? Never buy those! But Turbo? Hoard them!

I don't want be nitpicking, but the available cards are all SD - and not micro sd. Which is why I didn't find any micro sd 512GB.

Cheers,

Rainer
