This massive 1.5TB SanDisk microSD card is 40% off for Prime Day
When I bought my latest phone, it came with 512GB of storage — and I thought that’d be enough. That’s almost ten times as much internal capacity as my first PC! But it’s still not enough, dammit, and I ran out of space loading it up with questionably-obtained TV shows for a long flight.
If you’ve found yourself in the same kind of situation, there is a solution: this SanDisk microSD card with a whopping 1.5TB capacity. Surely that’ll be enough to last forever. Right?

Normally $150, the SanDisk Ultra UHS-1 MicroSDXC Card is on sale for Amazon Prime Day with a sweet $60 discount. That brings it down to $89.29, which is barely $4 more than the 1TB variant (which is currently going for $85). I could give you sarcastic figures about how many MP3s it would hold, but here’s a more relevant example: it can hold a full PC installation of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III six times over. Good lord.
With up to 150MB/s of read speed (and about a third of that in write speed with the right card reader), this thing isn’t fast enough to record videos at resolutions higher than 1080p. But for shooting photos until the cows come home, and then shooting some more photos of the cows to prove they’ve come home? It’s perfect.
Note that this 1.5TB SanDisk microSD is only $89 for Prime members, but if you aren’t subscribed to Prime, you can still get it for nearly the same price at $94. And if Amazon runs out — which is a definite possibility because these heavily discounted cards tend to move fast — you can pick one up from SanDisk’s official store at the same price.
