Cheap sd card?

I was looking at the class 10 micro sd cards for my galaxy note 2 and there are 2 options on the well known auction site. One for £10 and one for £40. Honestly, in the real world will I notice any difference between them?

What are the models of the two Micro SD cards you were looking at?

I'd also watch out for SD cards on the well known auction site as a lot of them aren't the advertised size, and may report it but when you fill it up you see otherwise

Ah ok. I went ahead and bought a samsung 32gb class 10 sdhc for £18.99. Picture of the packaging so no cheapo bootleg or I hope not!

Normally as-long as its on retail packaging you will be fine. The ones just sent in envelopes are often cheap copies and are usually under-sized or loose your data after a while

Lots of fakes out there, I always buy through a place based in jersey who are selling the sandisk ultra for £18.70 or samsung for £18.99

Yeah I tend to go with Sandisk and the packaging is annoying as hell so you know if it's been opened
