Many moons ago I bought 4 8GB micro SD cards, 2 from each of 2
suppliers.
2 of them work fine for Raspbian for my Raspberry Pis, but the other
two always have errors on copying the operating system on. These two
I have discovered are SanDisks and research shows me that Sandisk 32G
and 64 G did have faults.
Are these write-offs or can anyone suggest how I can make them good?
Gparted reformatting into Ext4 or Fat32 does not work.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well I can vouch for the 32gb cards having issue, bought one for my
dashcam and had to take it back and get it exchanged for another one
as the camera would just stop recording, formatted a couple of times
on the device and on the PC but still had the same issue. Touch wood
(as I grab my old wooden desk) the replacement has behaved its self.
There is a lot of info on Google about fake cards, are you sure these
faulty ones are Genuine Sansdisk (mine came from Sainsbury so I guess
a better chance of being Genuine)

Well, These have a little oval holographic tag on the back with Chinese
writing on it. It probably means 'reject'! They came via e-bay from a
chinese supplier.
I think they are bin jobs.
