   and yet they don't work! At least for me.   
   Has anyone ever booted a Pi (of any sort) using a TF card?

   Both bought from, and returned to Amazon.   
   and yes, of course, they could be fakes.   
      
   these :

   All of these cards do work and store the advertised amount of data.   
   Using Raspi imager as well as Linux program Disks to write/read/verify   
   64Gb images and run benchmarks, which do work but show very low   
   read/write speeds. (~9Mb/s).

   It causes me a great deal of regret and remorse   
   that so many people are unable to understand what I write.
