microSD cards going cheap is a Prime Day staple. While not the most thrilling Prime Day purchase, a cheap microSD card can seriously boost the capacity in your smartphone, or provide extra storage for a laptop, a DSLR, or any other piece of tech that needs portable storage.
There are a range of cheap microSD cards in the Prime Day sales right now, from trusted manufacturers like Sandisk, Samsung, Kingston, and PNY. Most are cutting between 20-60% off prices, so you can pick up some serious storage for your money. All the deals are below, but as a quick summary, you're getting slightly better savings on the bigger cards, and you're getting more GB per $ with the 512GB cards than the smaller ones. Our recommendation would be to go bigger with your card, unless your device doesn't support the larger-storage microSD cards (which some phones don't - so do check your particular device).
How much storage do you get from a microSD card? Well, let's take a standard 128GB card - which is what most people put into their smartphones. You'll get about 30,000 images on there from a phone with a 12MB camera, which is what you'll find in the Galaxy S20, for example. You'll get just over 20 hours of HD video in a card of that size too. So, scale up if you want a 256GB or 512GB card.
Almost all these cheap microSD cards come with a free SD card converter as standard, so they'll slot into most DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. This gives you the flexibility to remove the microSD element and slot it into your phone, to copy or store images from a camera.
If you need to check out more advice, we have a rundown of the best microSD cards right now, but they're very comparable, so you should be fine with any of the cards we've selected below.
