And the packaging and -- crucially -- the product number is different, on the reverse side of the packaging.
Yours is a different and prior version. The 'elite' retailers don't stock it any longer although, as you discovered, it may be available elsewhere.
Ok, pretty subtle product marketing if you ask me. I do see the following differences:
My Best Buy V30 card purchased Nov. 7, 2018:
MFG#: SDSDXXG-064G-ANCIN; UPC Code: 619659147594
B&H V30 card on website:
MFG#: SDSDXXG-064G-GN4IN; UPC Code: 619659147662
I work with UPC codes in my job so:
"6" is the leading number
"19659" is the manufacturer code
"14759" and "14766" are the product codes
"4" and "2" are the check sums.
Interestingly, the 128GB V30 card on B&H's site has an MFR# closer to my Best Buy 64GB model:
SDSDXXG-128G-ANCIN; UPC Code: 619659147600
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ ... 128gb.htmlSo the UPC code for that one is sequential to my Best Buy card (14759 and 14760 from the UPC codes). That's assuming B&H sends the version they are showing on the website.
If I have time tomorrow, I'll stop by Fry's in Palo Alto to see what they stock.
