Is this a scam? I feel like a 1TB SD card for 20 bucks must be a scam? Yet the reviews are all good AND there are lots of cards not that much more expensive...

Can we rreally buy a 1tb this small and this cheap now?

The reviews are talking about different products. They sold a 64GB card on that listing before and they switched it to a “1TB” card after they got enough positive reviews. When the negative reviews roll in they’ll take this listing down and move it to another listing that’s currently getting good reviews for some other product.

@ericjmorey actually ive seen this happen before. It isnt that they switch the product. Its that when a product is sold in various sizes then the reviews for all sizes show in one space. In and of itself it isnt suspicious as I see it constantly on products i buy.

It also wouldnt make much sense as a business model… you’d have to spend time and money selling legit products only to sell a handful of bad ones before scrapping it. They would make more just keeping the original listing, especially when the pricing is similar.

@ericjmorey On closer inspection I think your right. Two reasons.

1) There is no size selection on this page, so my earlier explanation doesnt make sense

2) even though they are the official distributor of this brand I noticed when i go to their brand page all (except one) of their products are either 1TB or 0.5 TB.. This suggest they did what you said but across all products at once.

The branding policy of Amazon has caused a lot of trouble for the USPTO too. Resellers (companies that stamp a brand on generic products or simply unbranded products) are overwhelming the USPTO with trademark applications to create brands using strings of random letters.
