Best MicroSD Card Deals: Prices Starting as Low as $14
We’ve compiled all the best microSD card bargains available so you can snag memory cards for all of your devices at big discounts.
It’s almost hard to believe that it wasn’t all that long ago that even the most expensive memory cards on the market could only handle a few gigabytes of data. These days, you can fit an entire terabyte of storage in card that’s no bigger than the tip of your finger, and pick smaller-capacity cards for just a few bucks apiece.
As you can probably tell from the name, microSD cards are an even smaller version of the standard SD cards used by most digital cameras. They’re primarily used in phones and tablets, where size is a major factor, and it never hurts to have a few extras on hand. And right now, you’ll find plenty of these tiny memory cards on sale with big discounts. We’ve rounded up some of the best deals on microSD cards out there below, and we’ll continue to update this page as offers come and go. Be sure to check back often to make sure you’re getting the best price available.

SanDisk
SanDisk’s Extreme series is built to withstand harsh conditions, so they’re ideal if you’re looking for a memory card for your GoPro or another action camera. This card is resistant to water, shock, extreme temperatures and even X-rays. Beyond its durability, this card boasts some impressive specs. It has read speeds of up to 160 megabytes per second, and write speeds of up to 90MBps for fast shooting, plus a respectable 512GB of storage. This is one of the best overall values you’ll find out there at the moment.

With a substantial 1TB of storage, this SanDisk microSD has the largest capacity you’ll find on this list. It has all the same specs of the 512GB model above, but with double the storage, and is a solid value at over half off its usual price. It also comes with standard SD card adapter.
SanDisk
Whether you have the original Switch, the Lite version or the new OLED, you’re going to want some extra storage for your console.SanDisk makes microSD cards licensed by Nintendo specifically for the Switch, and you can pick up this 256GB Super Mario-themed one for just $28 right now at Amazon.
Lexar
Considering how many devices can be improved with a microSD, there’s a good chance you’ll want to pick up more than one. Right now at Amazon, you can get this three-pack of 32GB Lexar cards for just under $5 per card. True, 32GB isn’t a lot of storage in this day and age, but that’s still enough to hold about 1,500 pictures or about three and a half hours of HD video.
SanDisk
The SanDisk Ultra is a less expensive alternative to the more rugged Extreme series listed above. It boasts read and transfer speeds of up to 120MBps and can capture and store full HD video.
SanDisk
Sometimes it makes more sense to invest in a single microSD card that you can reuse over and over, rather than several different cards. This 128GB SanDisk is designed for maximum longevity, and can record and re-record for up to 120,000 hours. It’s also fairly durable with protection against extremes, water, shock, and x-rays, and boasts read speeds of up to 100MBps.
Samsung
This Samsung microSD only has half the storage capacity of the 512GB SanDisk Extreme listed above, but it also costs less than half the price, and is more durable. This 256GB chip is protected against water, shock, drops and temperatures, as well as magnets and X-rays. It’s designed to capture 4K UHD video and boasts transfer speeds of up to 130MBps.
Samsung/CNET
With read/write speeds up to 160/120MB/s and 512GB of storage, you’ll have plenty of space for 4K video, high-performance games and other files on this card. Plus, it’s protected from water, extreme temps, x-rays and magnets, making it durable enough for all of your adventures.

Hint for today’s Strands puzzle
Today’s Strands theme is: Catch all.
If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: A mess of items.
Clue words to unlock in-game hints
Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
- BATE, LICE, SLUM, CAPE, HOLE, CARE, BARE, THEN, SLAM, SAMBA, BACK
Answers for today’s Strands puzzle
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
- TAPE, COIN, PENCIL, BATTERY, SHOELACE, THUMBTACK
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is JUNKDRAWER. To find it, look for the J that’s five letters down on the far-left row, and wind down, over and then up.
Quick tips for Strands
#1: To get more clue words, see if you can tweak the words you’ve already found, by adding an «S» or other variants. And if you find a word like WILL, see if other letters are close enough to help you make SILL, or BILL.
#2: Once you get one theme word, look at the puzzle to see if you can spot other related words.
#3: If you’ve been given the letters for a theme word, but can’t figure it out, guess three more clue words, and the puzzle will light up each letter in order, revealing the word.

#1: Check our list ranking the popularity of all the letters in the alphabet and choose your starter words accordingly. (TRAIN, STERN and AUDIO are good.)
#2: Don’t forget that letters can be used more than once.
#3: Many words are similar. You don’t want to use up multiple guesses that don’t advance your cause. So if the puzzle is STA_E, don’t guess STARE, STATE and STALE. Guess something that uses that R, T and L, like TWIRL.
