More important is probably to buy from a reputable dealer because faked
cards which claim to have x GB but actually with much less capacity are
still around.
And no, the better fakes you cannot detect by simply looking at the size
of the card on your computer, because the modified firmware will report
x GB. And on the best fakes you can even write to x GB because multiple
address blocks are mapped to the same memory location and you will only
notice after a long time that your data becomes corrupted whenever you
write more than x/y GB to the card.
