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.
