Recently there were quite a number of users warning not to buy any Sandisk memory cards from Amazon and I don't understand why, because Amazon is a reputable online store, and now I know why.
It is the seller and not Amazon US as listed on the product advertisement.
I order this product from Amazon US as the product listed where it was shipped. It came in a Prime cardboard box with bubble bags insulating the Sandisk packaging that holds the plastic casing. All the packaging were in good condition with no noticeable impact damage. But, the SanDisk Extreme PRO CFexpress Card has its rear metal plate where the Serial Number sticker was deformed as seen in the pictures. The reflective area is the flat area where else the the area where the S/N was is completely deformed (pressed inward). How could this be when the packaging are in good condition and the Sandisk factory packaging is sealed? Not only that the CFexpress card is inside the plastic casing.
When I was using it for only a short period of time in the camera, it get hot! This also happens when using the card reader to download files.
I contacted SanDisk to enquire about the authenticity of the product because I have been using SanDisk products for decades and all my other cards, be it SD or CF are all laser engraved with it S/N on its casing.
What surprised me is that they said they can't tell without having the card sent in.
Really? Paper sticker for S/N.
Isn't this asking for counterfeiting?
Returned the product on the very last day of the return window and got my refund.
So don't waste time any money on this SanDisk Extreme PRO CFexpress Type B 64GB Card.
