FAKE Sandisk Extreme 111 4GB CF card
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I was looking to purchase a Compact Flash card with plenty of storage space along with a fast write speed coupled with a fast download to my computer [Mac]. The Extreme 111 4 GB CF card was the one I was advised to get.
I purchased IN GOOD FAITH the above mentioned card, by auction on Ebay, at a very discounted price.
I tested the card before I used it on a job and although it appeared to function properly it seemed slower than the cards I already had.
I took about 180 full res' "Raw" shots using the card, which it did record, but downloading took hours.
I decided to contact Sadisk directly to verify that the card was genuine or not. They confirmed that the CF card was not one of theirs [By number], and indeed it was A FAKE. They told me that they were aware that this counterfeiting was going on, but they didn't seem very concerned and there was nothing they could do for me.
Whilst the card was useable it certainly worries me and I cannot possibly use it again for fear of valuable work being lost, beside not fulfilling the job I wanted, regarding speed.
I'm appalled that the seller is getting away with this fraud on Ebay.
