My first desktop computer, or at least the first one I used that was “mine” and not shared, had a 400MB hard drive. And at the time (about 1999, if I remember right) my parents thought it was mind-blowing. These days, you can get more than 1,200 times that much storage in a card the size of your pinky fingernail for just $27 on Amazon. How ’bout that.
Amazon is selling a Lexar 512GB microSD card for 46% off, making it even cheaper than the 256GB version on the same page. It’s rated for 160 MB/s read and 100 MB/s write, so it’s more than fast enough for most storage, photo, and video needs. (Maybe not for 8K cameras, though.) It’s about as cheap as these cards get at the moment, and it’s ready to slide into any Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, Android device, or laptop to instantly give you some extra breathing room.
This isn’t the cheapest I’ve ever seen a 512GB microSD card, but it’s the cheapest price for this particular one. It’s a great way to expand storage space in almost any modern device, so get it for cheap while you can. Amazon has this marked as a discount, but there’s no indication of how long the price will stay this low.
