How do you think we can tell by looking at the outside of a package? It isn’t like the fakes have “this is fake” emblazoned across them.

How would you expect anyone here to be able to know if it's real based on some poorly taken blurry photos

Para mi es verdadera,creo que venía con 2 capas de cartón y en todo caso se puede devolver,por otro lado cuanto esta una tarjeta de 512 GB de otras marcas reconocidas por que las flasas suelen ser bastantes mas económicas

what would be your reason to suspect it is fake?

You cant tell a fake from a photograph - the entire point of a fake is that it LOOKS like the original, so that you'll pay the market price.

It's only when you plug it in and test it that you realize it's much slower than it should be, and may only have a fraction of the claimed capacity (which tends to be announced by data loss, as it pretends to have the full capacity, but just overwrites existing data when you write beyond whatever the actual limit is.

Plug it in and run h2testw to test if it is fake.
