2TB microSD card is on the way early next year
I've used f3 (fight flash fraud) on every SD card I've bought for myself or someone else. Never had a failure, but I've pretty much only bought cards direct from mixza on aliexpress.
I'd certainly recommend testing any flash device you get, especially cheap ones. It might take eight hours to write and verify, but it's well worth it. (if you can abide disputes/returns)

Samsung PRO Plus 512 GB - Bad Card or Fake Card?
It is generally a good idea to test Flashmedia if the reported size is correct even if it looks real. On *Nix systems i can reccomend https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ It usually takes <20 min for 1TB sd cards.

Did I get a faked SSD? Shows as 2Tb but WD SN lookup shows 1Tb.
Just use this or something similar the determine the actual size, which you should do when you buy flash storage of any kind. Just keep in mind that the usable size will be less than the actual size due to over provisioning.

app that tests (micro)sd cards?
F3 (“Fight Flash Fraud”) inherently involves a thorough integrity check and so, ignoring fraud, has as confirmed faults for me.

Can I use a steam deck if I’m a tech dummy?
If I remember correctly, the SteamOS formatting process integrates https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3 so you'll probably just get an error upon formatting saying the flash is bad/counterfeit.

SSD as Long Term Storage Testing
To workaround the various tricks a drive can play, one may wish to use a capacity tester in addition to hardware stats.

One could setup a destructive wear-test, but results may not be generalized between lots with identical model number. This is because some manufactures sell performant products for early reviews/shills, and eventually start cost-optimizing the identical product sku with degraded performance.
As annoying as the bait-and-switch trend became, for off-brand consumer hardware YMMV.
Good luck =)

SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSD
If you want to know if the card is legit, I would recommend H2Testw (Windows), F3X (MacOS), or just plain F3 (Linux) as they'll actually confirm that the card is offering the storage that it claims to offer. Speeds on SD cards can be affected by hundreds of things. So long as the card hits the minimum of the spec it's sold under, your only real concern should be whether it is actually offering the storage that it claims to be.
What are some alternatives?
MediaTester - MediaTester can test any media (SD, microSD, thumb, etc) and verify it stores the expected number of bytes. The testing method is similar to h2testw but MediaTester can detect fake or defective media much faster by performing quick reads as data is written. If you buy any storage media, use MediaTester to verify it or risk losing your data.
