    I bought SanDisk Extreme 30MB/s edition (16GB) few days ago from tis seller but the item I received is not what I ordered – at first I got older version of Extreme III (~20MB/s) and secondly it is fake (capacity looks OK, but speed is very slow, and there are no serial numbers or holograms anywhere, also no original packaging was available).
