    I bought a 128 GB "Sandisk" (uh huh) micro SD card on AliXpress, for, like, 8 USD.

    It registered as such, but later i read that you can hack them to behave as if they have more storage than they actually have. I think it actually was like 512 MB. Data over that amount got completely corrupted.

    So, lesson learned. The lesson was very cheap.

    • And sorry, this has nothing to do with SSD's (misread post title). Or maybe it does, a little. Bottom line, stay away from Chinese shit.jagara
    • I don' think Sandisk is a cheap brand but that method sounds like asking for trouble.CyBrainX
    • Sandisk is a pretty reputable brand. The garbage i bought clearly wasn't Sandisk.jagara
