Many, many moons ago I remember Sandisk had a way of verifying their cards as genuine. You went to a page on their website and keyed in the serial # of the card, it then verified if it was genuine or not. You couldn't tell just by examining the card. I seem to remember there were a lot of non genuine, knock off cards around at that time, which were finding their way into the retail chain at wholesale level.
Given the sudden surge of demand for XQD cards and the high price they command, maybe someone somewhere is stepping up the supply by substituting non genuine cards???
Just a thought?
