Storage Prices Are Going Nuts, Grab a New Samsung MicroSD Card With Adapter for Early Prime Day
Save 36% and get 512GB of super-fast storage for your smartphone, drone, digital camera, gaming console or handheld, and more. Storage prices, to put it politely, have been all over the place lately. You could get motion sickness watching them rise and fall and rise again, and there's of course the ever-present threat of tariffs that would suddenly balloon the prices of storage and many other tech goods. So when the roller-coaster of storage pricing rolls downward, it's smart to grab some while you can. Now's a good time, if Amazon's 36% off deal on the Samsung EVO Select MicroSD memory card and adapter is any indication. The new $35 sale price on the EVO Select 512 MicroSD card and adapter is an awesome opportunity to add fast, reliable storage to so many of your tech devices. It's compatible with Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets, of course, but also most other Android smartphones and tablets with a MicroSD slot. It's also compatible with iOS devices and iPads, and it's the default storage for drones and digital cameras. That's just for starters. See at Amazon So Tiny Yet So Big The Samsung EVO Select MicroSD card is smaller than a postage stamp, yet the 512GB storage capacity might be even larger than you'd imagine. How big is it? You can store 30 hours of 4K videos on it, or 80.5 hours of full HD videos — if you're a GoPro or drone enthusiast, that will be of particular interest. Still photographers or anyone looking to free up storage on their smartphone or tablet will appreciate the fact they can store over 207,000 4K photos or over 270,000 HD photos on that teeny card. The included adapter lets you fit the EVO Select MicroSD card into SD card slots, which comes in enormously handy if you're using an older laptop or desktop computer. With that much capacity, it's also a great accessory to move files from an older computer to a newer one or to different storage. Virtually Unkillable If the idea of moving so much of your precious photo and video artistry onto such a small and paper-thin chip makes you nervous, remind yourself that Samsung has been the world's No 1 flash memory brand since 2003, and the EVO Select MicroSD card is remarkably tough. It can withstand up to 72 hours submerged in seawater, extreme temperatures as low as -40 degrees or as high as 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and is a true beast when it comes to tolerating x-rays or magnets. The average lifespan of up to 10,000 swipes is as close to a lifetime of use as you can get. Predicting where the price of portable storage devices these days is a fool's errand, but you can be sure that the current Amazon sale that's offering the 512GB version of Samsung's EVO Select MicroSD card and adapter for just $35 is well worth hitting the buy button on.

Samsung's New Generation MicroSD Memory Card With Adapter Is Practically Free on Amazon
Save 33% at Amazon and expand the space on your smartphone, gaming console, tablet, and more with this crazy-fast new generation micro SD card. You would be hard pressed to find a more universal or more reliable form of expanded storage than a micro SD card, and Samsung has been the world's No. 1 flash memory brand for over 20 years. One of Samsung's fastest and most versatile micro SD cards, the EVO Select Micro SD, is the star of a limited-time sale at Amazon, where you can get the 256GB new generation version for just $20, a 33% price drop from the regular $30 price. It's not quite a universal truth yet, but if you have a tech device, chances are its storage can be expanded with a micro SD card. Start with laptop and desktop computers — the EVO Select works with PCs and Macs — then move on to smartphones and tablets, where the EVO Select is universally compatible across iOS, Android, and Google devices. Add in cameras, drones, dash cams, even gaming consoles and handhelds like the Nintendo Switch, and you'll find you have more use for a large-capacity micro SD card than you probably realized. See at Amazon Tiny, Speedy Storage The Samsung EVO Select is a U3 micro SD card, meaning it's part of the Ultra High Speed (UHD) class. It can perform sequential reads at up to 130 MB/s, so your smartphone and tablet apps or your gaming console or handheld aren't bogged down by a laggy memory card. If you're using a camera or other device to shoot video, the EVO Select can easily keep up with Full HD and 4K UHD files, which you can then easily transfer to another device. The EVO Select also comes with an adapter so it can also fit in SD card slots, in case your device does not have a micro SD slot. Size Matters Not If you're concerned about a data device only 0.03 inches thick and 0.3 ounces in weight being inserted and removed into tech devices and an adapter over and over again, the EVO Select is far, far tougher than it looks. It's so waterproof that it can withstand a 72 hour seawater immersion, and it can function in temperatures ranging from -13 degrees to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, and it's X-ray proof, magnet proof, and drop resistant up to 16 feet. It's also good for 10,000 swipes, so move it between your devices at will without worry. With the price of the 256GB Samsung EVO Select micro SD card and adapter falling all the way to just $20 at Amazon during this limited-time deal, you might want to take stock of your tech devices to see just how many of them could benefit from a fast, durable, high-capacity storage boost. At this price, it makes sense to order more than just one. See at Amazon
