microSD has many types and different classes. They cater for various uses like car video, desktop video, data storage,  etc. You need to choose the appropriate ones.

The read/ write devices’ speed are different.

Speed class
The very first speed class is simply known as the original Speed Class and is denoted with a “C” symbol. There are four ratings within the Speed Class:

C2 (Class 2): minimum write speed of 2MB/s
C4 (Class 4): minimum write speed of 4MB/s
C6 (Class 6): minimum write speed of 6MB/s
C10 (Class 10): minimum write speed of 10MB/s

You see the reviews, you will know the the shop is authentic or selling fake card.
It is all about speed. What speed you want?

Are you using for 4k video or photo?
If yes, go for high speed.
Make sure your device use must be able to support high speed microSD card.

i no need high speed...........i'm thinking of putting music on it ........so reliability and durability most important.............cheap SD cards cannot write and delete info too many times mah........the flash memory will wear out..............so thought of getting better one (Samsung Pro Plus or SanDisk Extreme)..........

[Napoleon Porlumpar]

Shop likely took from same source but put RRP... Lol

that's why..............maybe some real, some fake........

can't even find out who's SanDisk agent here...............can ask agent if an online store is official reseller...............some online sellers got physical shop

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Most cheap ones are not fake but qc rejects lah. So if you check the usable capacity can tell.

I find that most desktop computers cannot read microSD cards even though they have the slots available. Only those new or super high-end computer slots allow for it.

Then class 10 microSD 10MB/s is good enough for music.
