It’s difficult to imagine, but not too long ago, even the most expensive memory cards on the market could store only a few gigabytes of data. Nowadays, it’s possible to fit an entire terabyte of storage in a card that’s as small as the tip of your finger, and you can buy smaller-capacity cards for just a few dollars each.
As the name suggests, microSD cards are an even smaller version of the standard SD cards used by most digital cameras. They’re used mainly in phones and tablets, where size is a major factor, and it never hurts to have a few extras on hand. Currently, you can find plenty of substantial discounts on these tiny memory cards. Below, we’ve gathered some of the best deals on microSD cards, and we’ll continue to update this page as offers come and go. Check back often to make sure you’re getting the best price available.
