It will definitely work, given that it's an original Sandisk card.
I am a bit suspicious about that, as nowhere except on the illustration (which they put only for "visual approximation" of the product) is "SanDisk" brand mentioned.
Nevertheless, the card may be working but it's not a good sign that they are promoting it with the name of a renowned manufacturer.
I suggest, that you post in the accessories section and ask for a reliable seller for 32GB cards.

There is no possible way that's a real branded SD card, as a real one would cost $100 or so for 32gb as mentioned below.

Compare the price to: http://cgi.ebay.com/SanDisk-32GB-32G...item5ada9f58b6

Fake SD cards WILL work but will usually work at slow speeds, corrupted transfers and SOMETIMES as with mine.. it says 32gb but if you transfer more than 8gb on the card it will corrupt and not work, from past experience, anyway.

Ditto. They usually sell hordes of second grade, no name, slow performing, close to failing, SD cards for low prices on there. Unless you can be sure and verify the exact model and its specs, I'd stay away.

Also, unless I'm looking WAYYYY too deep, 24g in weight seems a hell of a lot for 40 Micro SD cards, let alone 1! SD cards weigh approximatly 0.5 of a gram so something don't seem right here.

The way I look at it, steer clear, save up and invest in one with a guarentee or warranty of some sort. You might regret it if you don't
