Being heard of some Lexar band sd-cards possible problems with Sony cameras I had bought one during a trip to Rome ('cause I forgot one of my two 128gigs TOUGH cards at home).
It was best and most expensive they have (except 256 gig version) - Lexar 1800X v60 128gb UHS-II.
Test via card-reader and CrystalDisk Mark have confirmed claimed specs (i.e. 280 mbps read and 210 mbps write) and in camera (A1) it felt a bit more fast then my good-old Sony Tough M (299/150 mbps).
But here comes some glitches - like camera after start in the morning supposedly have written a file but cannot review it. After SD card re-insert it basically worked whole day or so.
For mixed use (RAW 20fps bursts and 4K 60 fps videos) it worked too.
A month after it somehow got formatted to 8gb instead of 128gb. After manual deletion of partition and creation of new (via Windows Disk Management) it showed again 128 gb capacity and worked.
Finally, I decided to put it into (as I thought) a little less demanding camera (my trustworthy A7RIII) and it worked until camera have 'lost' image database and refused to recover it (after re-insert into second slot back and forth Image DB got restored and pictures finally made their way to my laptop HDD). So, I've decided to put it to my photo gear backpack pocket (together with once-failed old KIngston UHS-II 64gb I kept there in case of extreme need of spare card - but I could never trust it as a main card). Back to Tough card is only viable way...
But what did happened with Lexar I don't know (didn't have other vendors cameras at hand at the moment, maybe I should try it on Canon or Nikon and trade somehow)
BTW, speed and capacity is 'authentic' i.e. I cannot see what should be a subject of extreme economy due counterfeiting - it's usually fake capacity or fake speed.
I have the 64gb and 128gb version of the Lexar 1667x V60 UHS-II SD cards. Used extensively in my Oly EM1.2. Tens of thousands of pics taken with them. They were used for my little guy's soccer games for many years. Burst mode RAW shooting, etc.
Never a problem with either one. Both bought from brick and mortars but it doesn't apund like yours were fake.
