Should I buy a cheap upgraded/reformatted SDHC micro SD card on eBay?

Read Original

The article details a personal experience of nearly being scammed by buying a cheap micro SD card on eBay. It explains how sellers tamper with smaller cards to falsely report larger capacities (e.g., a 4GB card showing as 32GB), leading to data corruption when the actual storage is exceeded. It provides a technical explanation of filesystems and FAT tables to illustrate the scam and strongly advises against purchasing such cards.
