Help [Q] FLAC files disappearing from SD Card?

[zimmertr]

Hi guys I just purchased the Samsung 64gb micro sd card and I'm having some issues.

I just copied over ~45 gb of FLAC music to the sd card using two different methods. 1) Taking the sd card out and using a sd to usb adapter and 2) plugging the phone into my computer via usb.

Both times all of the files copied over without any error or interruptions and after I put the sd card in my phone and booted it up I can't detect any of the files from Shuffle or ES File Explorer

So I plugged the sd card back into my computer and both times all of the folders are empty and none of the FLAC files are present. I ran diskcheck on the sd card and it said it fixed all of the errors but all of the FLAC files are still missing... Now I just have a folder called FOUND.000 on the root with a bunch of .chk files in it that are about the size of an album of FLAC music (~300mb)

What is going on...?

Install SD Insight. Hit the "eye" in the upper right hand corner. See what the card itself says it is. You just might have a counterfeit card. Storing more to a card than the real size of the card results in everything being wiped. Or you could just have e legitimate but defective card.

(Try renaming one of those chk files to flac and see if it plays.)

I'm hard pressed to believe it's counterfit since the eBay seller has sold 218 of them and has good feedback:

Samsung 64GB Micro SD SDHC Memory Card Class 10 Flash Adapter Free Shipping | eBay

However, sd insight would make it seem so?

What do you think?

EDIT: Currently running h2testw on it. Let's see if it's a hacked sd card...

Here is a copy of the email I sent the eBay user:

I have reason to believe the Samsung 64gb micro sd card that you sold me is counterfeit.

I first had a hunch this item was counterfeit when I copied 45gb of data to the card two separate times just to have it all erased/corrupted immediately after putting it in my phone.


After this happened, I decided to download an Android app called sd insight to see if the card was fake or not. These are the results I received from running the app: Manufacturer: Invalid (0x00) OEM/Application ID: Unknown Product Name: Produc - Pastebin.com


As you can see in that log file, the manufacturer, product name, revision number, etc are all null. This led me to believe that the card you sold me was certainly counterfeit. If this was a legitimate card the entries would have reported things such as SAMSUNG and MB-MGCGB/AM. (The supposed make and model of this sd card) Additionally, there would be at least 1 revision to this card to counter the data corruption issues that was occurring to S3 and S4 smart phones in 2013 since it was manufactured (supposedly) in January of 2014.


In order to be sure for certain before I contacted you with this claim, I used a program called H2testw. H2testw is a program that writes data files to your sd card and reads them off until every sector has been tested. If corruption occurs you have an sd card error. Additionally, you can see the actual size of the sd card and many other cool things. Here is the log file that the program returned to me: Warning: Only 63907 of 63998 MByte tested. The media is likely to be defective. - Pastebin.com


As you can see, this card is actually only 3.5GB instead of 62.4 like reported by Windows Explorer. This leads me to believe this card has been hacked to report the incorrect capacity size. 58.8GB of data was lost because it was written to sectors which actually don't exist... This is proven by the hex address given by the location of the first error.


As you can see, it expects to encounter 0x00000000c65db000 but instead encounters 0x0000000000000000 when trying to copy data to that specific location. This is because that location doesn't exist....


Finally, you can see that the writing speed is only 3.8mb/s instead of 7mb/s and the reading speed is only 6.64mb/s instead of 24mb/s. This is another clear sign of a fraudulent item.


You sold me a class 4 3.5GB sd card in disguise of a class 10 64gb sd card. I would like for this item to be replaced with a legitimate Samsung 64gb class 10 micro sd card at no extra expense to me. This includes reimbursing my return shipping fees if you desire the item to be returned to you before continuing.

Sadly, too many people give + feedback before they fully test the products. I don't give feedback until I've used the item for over 2 weeks.

There are so many counterfeit memory cards that I only buy them from BestBuy, Staples.
