Samsung’s 1TB Pro Plus microSD Card is currently on sale, marking a new low during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. Originally priced at $120, it is now available for $80, making it an attractive option for users wanting to expand their Steam Deck or handheld PC storage. Another attractive option is the 1TB Evo Select microSD Card, which is priced at $70—matching its previous low. The Evo Select offers slightly slower speeds compared to the Pro Plus but remains a robust choice for both Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck users.
Additionally, the special Sonic the Hedgehog edition of the 1TB Pro Plus microSD is also available, priced at $90, down from $126. Both the Pro Plus and Evo Select cards are highly rated with U3 ratings, confirming their suitability for 4K video and gaming.
For those considering alternatives, Lexar’s 1TB Play microSD card is a budget-friendly choice at only $64. This card is also designed for gaming, with features aimed at enhancing performance. Lexar’s upgraded model boasts read speeds up to 205MB/s and is available for $88.
These Samsung and Lexar cards offer competitive pricing compared to popular SanDisk models, such as the Ultra and Extreme microSD cards, which, while well-known for reliability, have higher price points and slightly lower speeds.
In summary, with the current deals on high-capacity microSD cards, now is an opportune time for gamers to upgrade their storage options without breaking the bank.
