It wasn't that long ago that PNY was asking $350 for a 512GB microSD card, and not even one as fast as this one. For Prime Day, however, Amazon Prime members can get PNY's highly rated 512GB PRO Elite microSD card for just .99, which is $30 off retail price.This 512GB card carries Class 10, U3, and V30 ratings, meaning it can read and write at speeds of up to 100MB/s and 90MB/s, respectively. It also carries an A2 rating, meaning that it can boot apps quickly with its 4000IOPS read and 2000IOPS minimum read and write speeds. It doesn't get much better than this.

You need storage? We've got storage. Well, we don't, but Amazon does, and we're telling you about it. In today's one-day sale, a bunch of PNY memory products are on sale, including a big honkin' 512-gig card for $68, $17 less than it usually is. There are also deals on smaller cards, as well as flash drives, RAM, and other such things.The half-terabyte card is probably the star here, but there are other noteworthy deals, too, including a 20-pack (yes, a twenty-pack) of 16-gig cards for $39.99, which shakes out to a measly two dollars per card. The full list of deals follows:

There was a period of time when we thought the microSD slot was about to disappear from flagship smartphones, but luckily, it's made a comeback. PNY's 256GB Elite-X microSD card is currently just .99 from Amazon, making it a cheap way to add storage to your mobile devices. Other sizes are discounted as well.These Elite-X cards are U3-rated, meaning that the minimum sequential write speed is 30MB/s, compared with most other cards' U1 (10MB/s) base speed. If you intend to perform a lot of file transfers or film a lot of 4K video, this rating is pretty much a must. Like most other cards, the maximum read speed is 100MB/s.

Most current phones come with a decent amount of onboard storage. However, media files and apps are also increasingly heavier, meaning you can quickly run out of space on your device. Thankfully, a wide range of handsets and tablets have a microSD slot to accommodate for extra storage. If you're looking for one, you're in luck, as PNY's 32GB and 64GB microSDXC cards are discounted on Amazon, selling for $9 and $13, respectively.

Another day on the Amazon Deals of the Day carousel and this go-around, we're hitting up the storage device manufacturer PNY. If you want a 512GB SD card for well under $100, a 256GB microSD for under $40, or the best price on a 256GB USB-C drive, all of them are on sale until midnight PDT.The PNY Elite 256GB USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C flash drive has a necessarily long name thanks to the USB Promoters Group, but what it is able to do for your computer or phone is to read files at up to 130MB per second. The connector is also retractable, too.

It's kind of astonishing to see how quickly storage prices fall. PNY introduced its Elite 512GB microSD card at $349.99 in June of last year, and today the very same card is available for just .99 on Amazon. If you need a bit more speed, the 512GB Pro Elite is .99, and other PNY storage products are discounted as well.The regular Elite 512GB card, priced at .99, is a U1 card with read speeds of up to 90MB/s. The U1 classification means that the minimum sequential write speed is 10MB/s, which isn't great for those of you who transfer a lot of data. In that case, the U3-classified Pro Elite 512GB card, carrying a minimum write speed of 30MB/s and a max of 100MB/s, is just $9 more at $89.99.

It's almost unbelievable how cheap flash storage has become over the past few years I remember paying well over $100 for a 100GB microSD card just a few years ago, and now the same capacity only costs around $20. If you need a microSD card, one 256GB model from PNY is just $39.99 right now. That's roughly $15 off the usual price of ~$55.

External storage is always a great option if you're looking at expanding your phone's internal memory or transferring data from one device to another. It's also usually cheaper than buying a handset with greater onboard capacity, and more convenient as you can keep it when switching phones. If you're looking at a new microSD card, PNY's well-rated high-speed products just hit an all-time low on Amazon, with some models costing 47% less than their MSRP.All cards are water-, shock-, and X-ray proof, come with a built-in SD adapter, and feature Class 10 and U3 ratings, allowing them to be particularly performant. The 32GB and 64GB models can go as fast as 90MB/s, while the 128GB and 256GB cards offer read speeds of up to 100MB/s. The last two are also compatible with V30 and A1 standards, which respectively let you load and run apps faster, and enjoy high picture rates for 4K video recording.

If you have a smartphone or tablet with a microSD slot and have been itching for a deal on a 512GB card, this could be the day you finally pull the trigger. The PNY Elite 512GB microSD card, which was introduced in June at $349.99, is down to an all-time low price of 9.99 (that's $200 off) on Amazon today only. This beats the pants off of the $239.99 deal we saw back in December.The PNY Elite 512GB complies with Class 10/U1/V10 standards, which means it has a minimum sequential write speed of 10MB/s, though the card maker notes that it can support maximum transfer speeds of up to 90MB/s. With 512GB of storage, this microSD card can hold up to 80 hours of full HD (1080p) video recordings or 100,000 photos at 18MP. Media storage and playback will work decently, but look for a higher-class card if you're thinking of running apps off it.Speaking of which, today's Amazon Deal of the Day also includes the PNY Pro Elite 512GB microSD card for 9.99, which is $100 off the usual price. This card, which was announced last month, complies with Class 10/U3/V30 standards, which means it has a minimum sequential write speed of 30MB/s. PNY says it can hit up to a 100MB/s read speed and a 90MB/s write speed. It also has an A2 app performance class, which means it's capable of storing and running mobile apps decently enough.These are just two of today's Amazon deals on PNY products. Look at the full list to see discounts on USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives, a 240GB 2.5" SATA III internal SSD, and more. As of the time of publishing, there's less than 15 hours left before these deals expire, so act soon if you're interested.Source: Amazon

In the summer of 2018, PNY became only the second company to release a 512GB MicroSD card (and the first to go on sale in the US). The company is back with an updated model, as well as several flash drives including a USB Type-C option.The new PNY range is headlined by the upgraded Pro Elite 512GB MicroSD card, which offers a minor spec improvement over its predecessor with a U3 bus speed instead of U1, meaning a guaranteed minimum write speed of 30MB/s (and up to 90MB/s). Read speeds of up to 100MB/s and A2 app performance is also offered by this Class 10, UHS-1, V30 MicroSDXC card. PNY promises better 4K video recording performance than before, with enough space for more than 29 hours of the stuff.At $349.99, the original wasn't cheap, although we have seen it as low as $240 on sale since it launched, and it's currently 0 on Amazon. Pricing for the new model hasn't yet been announced, but there appears to be an Amazon listing for it already showing the same $280 price.

For most people, the 64GB or so of storage that comes standard on higher-end phones these days is more than enough. However, for the select few that require tremendous amounts of local storage, microSD support is a godsend. Earlier this year, PNY introduced a 512GB microSD card, pricing it at a princely $349.99. That price has been slashed to 9.99, $110 off, for today only on Amazon.Using this PNY Elite 512GB with the right phone, like a 512GB Galaxy Note9, could result in a full terabyte of local storage on one phone. That's pretty crazy to think about. Unfortunately, this card only supports maximum sequential write speeds of 10MB/s, which is a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, this is basically your only option if you want this much additional storage stateside.

Earlier in the year, Integral Memory introduced the world's first 512GB microSD card (which unfortunately isn't sold stateside). PNY is showing off the second 512GB microSD, the PNY Elite 512GB, at Computex 2018, and the card will run you $349.99 when it becomes available.[EMBED_TWITTER]https://twitter.com/PNYUSA/status/999034703062749184[/EMBED_TWITTER]The PNY Elite 512GB complies with Class 10 and U1 standards, which means it has a minimum sequential write speed of 10MB/s. PNY says that the card can handle transfer speeds of up to 90MB/s, which is 10MB/s more than Integral Memory's max. For reference on just how much space 512GB is, the Elite 512GB can store over 100,000 18MP photos, over 80 hours of 1080p video, or up to 100,000 songs.

Another day, another deal and today's comes from Amazon's Gold Box sale. Certain PNY flash storage items are on sale for up to 50% off. These include flash drives, SD cards, microSD cards, and OTG accessories. Most of the storage media are pretty high capacity, too.The highlight of this sale is a 128GB microSD card with a USB/micro-USB reader for $34. The latter, of course, is for USB-OTG on compatible Android devices. The only bummer here is that it isn't Type-C. Among the other treasures in this Gold Box deal are a 64GB flash drive with a Lightning connector and a 480GB portable SSD.If you've been itching for some more glorious space to store all of the (digital) things, then this is definitely worth checking out. It's also great if you're like me and hoard flash drives and SD cards.Source: Amazon

Flash memory comes in many different forms. You have microSD cards. You have full size ones. Then there are flash drives. There's expensive, and then there's cheap. I like the latter.

You can get microSD cards ranging from 32GB for  to 128GB for . Full size SD cards are going for around the same price, while flash drives come in at the most affordable rates of $5 to $16, sans a 128GB option.You can also snag discounted RAM, but that won't do your smartphone any good. On the other hand, there are reduced external battery packs. 7800mAh goes for while the larger 20,800mAh pack costs . These prices aren't bad, though you might get a backup battery for less if you're not in a rush. Just know that you only have 16 hours to take advantage of this PNY sale.Source: Amazon

In the tech world, we know that big things can come in small packages, but those packages usually have a big price.

Have you heard about the new MicroSD card functionality coming in Android M? It's pretty awesome, and it gives you a new reason to invest in external storage (and pester your manufacturer of choice to include a card slot in its next flagship). Android M won't be available in non-developer form for a few months, but if you want to get a head start on cheap storage, Amazon's Gold Box deal portal is the place to be today. The retailer is offering some impressive deals on PNY brand MicroSD cards, from 16GB all the way up to a massive 128GB.

We know a good number of you rely heavily on microSD cards. Cloud storage is nice, but they serve as something different, perhaps supplementary to physical memory expansion. So if you're in the market for some more cards to stick into your phones or tablets, Amazon has no shortage of flash memory on sale as today's Deal of the Day. PNY MicroSD cards are ranging from $7.49 (16GB - 40MB/sec) to $29.99 (64GB - 90MB/sec), with varying sizes and speed classes to choose from between the two extremes.

Boy, whoever picks those Amazon Gold Box sale items sure likes flash storage. It seems like at least once a week they've got a fire sale on SD cards, flash drives, and other descendants of the floppy. Today's sale has PNY-branded cards of both the SD and MicroSD variety, the latter of which will probably interest mobile users.
