    I've bought 4 or 5 from Ali Express and they're perfect. Never had a problem. 1/3 of the price too.

    I got for amazon. There are fakes from 3rd parties on amazon though, you can tell by the price. So I stick with "sold by amazon"

    You can get software to test them, or just try and fill it to max capacity with some large files and then transfer back over again.

    Some fakes might have correct capacity but poor transfer speed.
