How can you tell, if it's just the label? After all, what's in an
adapter--just some contacts and a switch. If it works, it will
probably keep on working.
I put the micro SDHC under the inspection microscope. The printing
appears to be crisp and the lot number is in a different ink. If
it's a forgery, it's a darned good one. Of course, this could be a
used one sold as new--how does one tell that? Is there a register
that can be read that tells you the number of writes performed?
