Got this the other day, real capacity is 1G but shown as 400mbytes.
Just wondering wether its a fake kingston or cloned.
Controller messed up and data recovered.

Yeah, exactly fake. Kingston never stick such idiotic label on card.
Also you can see difference between PCB symbols and on the controller.
That's SM264 not XT264.

I agree, looks like a Fake. I seem to recieve a lot of Kingston SD cards with strange controller signitures that seem to be fakes.

How much data did you recover? Less than 400MB I am assuming.
