This may not be 2010 anymore when flash drives were a necessity for school — or work, for many of us — but they're still a useful tool for local backups and getting data on or off your gear before you wipe it and put it out to pasture. Especially now in the age of extra-handy USB-C flash drives which can connect to phones as well as laptops, the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe is a handy tool to have on hand.

If you happen to need some extra juice to keep everything running longer, check out some of the other Prime Day deals for batteries. But if you’re always running out of space, maybe it’s time to pick up some memory cards for your camera, drone, or smartphone. SanDisk has some great deals on microSD memory cards for Prime Day with discounts up to 50% off.

Even though our phones' internal storage capacity is increasing, so are file sizes. This is why we may sometimes need a little extra space, and MicroSD cards are a convenient way of achieving this. In case you're looking for one, SanDisk's 200GB A1-rated Ultra card is down to $22.49 on Amazon, which is the lowest price it's ever been.It features Class 10, UHS-I, and A1 ratings, meaning it offers excellent performance when loading apps and achieves transfer speeds of up to 100MB/s. It also ships with an adapter, which will be handy if you need to use it with a larger device, such as a computer.If you're ready to get one, just use the link below to grab yours off Amazon.Buy: Amazon

In case you hadn't heard, there is a big sale going on right now. Don't worry, we won't hold it against you if this is somehow the first time you're hearing about it... in late November. But you know the deal, if there's even a hint of something going on sale, Amazon will have a few pages of deals on memory cards, SSDs, and hard drives. These are all Deal of the Day offers, so the discounts technically go away at midnight (PDT), but it wouldn't be surprising if many of these reappear over the weekend.Some items are going for almost half-off, so there's a good chance you'll find something worth picking up. There are two separate pages on Amazon with different selections of products featuring something from just about every major brand in the storage game, including SanDisk, LaCie, Seagate, Western Digital, PNY, Synology, and others.

MicroSD cards can come in handy with a wide range of devices: phones, tablets, Chromebooks, cameras, Nintendo Switch consoles, and so on. It doesn't hurt to keep a few cards around for when one of your devices needs a bit more room, and now you can get 64GB and 128GB cards together for just $23.98 on Amazon.The bundle on sale has one 64GB card and one 128GB card. Both of the microSD cards are A1-rated, which means they can function with Android's adoptable storage feature, through performance still won't be nearly as fast as internal storage on most Android devices. Each card also comes with its own adapter, so you can use them with devices using a standard SD card slot, like most dedicated cameras.

If Prime Day shopping has led you to picking up some fun new gear, there's a decent chance you're also looking for some accessories to make the best of it. One of the most common add-ons you'll need for that new drone or camera is some extra storage. It will come as no surprise that Amazon has you covered there, too — microSD cards, SD cards, thumb drives, SSDs, hard drives, and even NAS systems in any capacity for any particular situation.

Whether you're looking to expand the storage space on your smartphone, camera, or gaming system, today's deal from Sandisk could have precisely the card you're looking for, especially if you need to store 4K video or other especially large files. Several MicroSDXC cards are currently on sale at Amazon, including 256GB and 400GB cards discounted to their lowest prices yet ($28 and $64, respectively) and a 1TB card that's available for only $208 — which is just a few dollars off its best-ever pricing.In addition to impressive storage capacity, with read speeds up to 160MB/s and write speeds as high as 90MB/s on the Extreme series, these MicroSD cards are no slouches when it comes to speed. Although, you still may not want to install many apps on them. Sandisk's Extreme series cards should be able to take harsh conditions in stride, as Sandisk designed them to withstand extreme temperatures in addition to damage from water, shocks, or even X-rays.

One of the advantages of everything moving to USB Type-C is that you can use many of the same accessories with all your devices. However, it's still pretty common to run into a PC with no Type-C ports at all, which is where SanDisk's new USB drive comes in.At CES 2020, SanDisk revealed the 'Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C,' which has a USB Type-C connector on one end and a Type-A port on the other. The idea is that you'll be able to transfer files across PCs, Android devices, the iPad Pro, and anything else with one of those two connectors. It can also fit on a keychain, for that extra level of convenience.

Expandable storage has consistently pushed into more affordable territory over the last decade, and with the occasional discount popping up here and there, it's easy to save on some pretty potent memory. Today only, you can grab a new SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC UHS-I microSD card in 200GB, 400GB, and 512GB options for up to 15% off at Amazon.The cards in today's deal feature 100MB/s transfer read speeds, A1-rated performance, and Class 10 full HD video recording and playback. They come in a variety of storage size capacities, but only the 200GB, 400GB, and 512GB variants are being discounted. Each microSD card includes a full-size adaptor to be used in a standard SD card reader.

If you need to store heavy files like HD movies and photos, a MicroSD card is a convenient way to carry these with you without breaking the bank. SanDisk's 400GB Extreme MicroSD lets you do just that without breaking the bank, as its price just dropped to an all-time low of $73.

MicroSD cards are still a popular storage medium — all the manufacturers include full SD-size adapters anyways, so they make for easy gifts to anyone who has a camera that's not a phone. In any case, we may have passed the commodity event horizon where these cards cost so little on their own, but would be better bought in bulk on sale. Luckily enough, Best Buy has the best price on SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB cards today only.

Even though our phones' internal storage capacity is increasing, so are file sizes. This is why we may sometimes need a little extra space, and MicroSD cards are a convenient way of achieving this. In case you're looking for one, SanDisk's 256GB A1-rated Ultra card is down to $29 on Amazon, instead of its usual $39.

Do you need a little extra storage in your phone, tablet, Nintendo Switch, or other microSD-enabled device? If so, you might be interested to hear that the 256GB SanDisk Extreme card is just $39.99 on Amazon, a $5 drop from the previous price, and an all-time low. Other capacities are also on sale.This is an A2-rated microSD card, so it's the best possible option for storing apps—even if it's still slower than the super-fast flash storage in most modern smartphones. It's also a good option for keeping around extra music, movies, and other large files.

Black Friday has come and gone, but we're not done with pre-holiday deals by a long shot. Cyber Monday is upon us, and the deals refuse to quit. A whole bunch of what we're seeing today is an extension of sales that have been running since last week, but there's plenty of new stuff, too. Here, for your convenience, we've rounded up all the best deals we've spotted.We always try to give you a sense of how good a deal really is by avoiding comparisons to MSRP where they're not useful; if an item's MSRP is $300 but it usually sells for $250, a sale price of $200 is $50 off, not $100. This list is no different: sales are compared to street prices wherever possible, and we explicitly label comparisons to MSRP when we can't.

Current microSD cards have become unbelievable dense and cheap compared to earlier models, and during Black Fridays, they become even more affordable. The same is true for SanDisk's new Extreme series, consisting of variants ranging from 32GB to 1TB. Most of them are at all-time lows this Thanksgiving, and you can even purchase them in a bundle with a card reader at Amazon. For example, you can get the 1TB for only $200 ($250 off), which is a significant saving even compared to an earlier deal from a fortnight ago.There aren't too many phones left with microSD slots, but the ones that have one can drastically expand available storage these days. SanDisk in particular made a name for itself as a provider of affordable and fast storage, which is also true for its Extreme series. The manufacturer touts that it achieves read speeds of up to 160MB/s and writes data at up to 90MB/s, but the cards are still not very good for apps — you'll be happier if you only use these as an additional media storage only in your phone.

Whether you need a new MicroSD card to store ultra high-quality videos or large files, SanDisk has got you covered with its 1TB Extreme MicroSDXC card. It offers outstanding performance and traditionally sells for $450. However, thanks to a markdown on Amazon, you can now get it for just $300.

SanDisk is well-known for its high-performance and premium lines of microSD cards. Trusted by many, its products are often bundled together with mission-critical equipment, such as dash cams, action cameras, and drones. After floating around between $130-150 for the past few months, the SanDisk Extreme 512GB microSD card is at its lowest price ever at Amazon for $110.Today's deal is different from the $80 SanDisk Ultra 512GB microSD deal we posted a couple of days ago. The SanDisk Extreme has better specifications than the Ultra card with its higher A2 and V30 ratings. The A2 notation means it can perform 4,000 read input/output operations per second (IOPS) and 2,000 write IOPS — great for storing your Android phone's app data for quicker file transfers and data manipulation. The UHS speed class 3 (U3) and video speed class 30 (V30) designations point to a sustained video capture rate of 30 MB/s, suitable for high res recording with drones and action cameras. It's also capable of 160 MB/s of read and 90 MB/s of write rates for faster file transfers. Depending on your application, it can definitely be worth paying $30 more for the Extreme over the Ultra. I personally have a 512GB Extreme inside my Galaxy S10+ (for total 1 terabyte of storage), and it's fantastic at managing file transfers and app data.

Terabyte microSD cards, incredible though they are, are still wildly expensive. For us mere mortals, the next best thing — 512 gigabytes — is much more attainable. That's especially true today: you can snap up a 512-gig card for just 80 bucks from Amazon or B&H.If you're trying to decipher those hieroglyphics on the card's face, let me make things a little simpler: SanDisk's Ultra cards aren't as fast as its Extreme ones, but they're plenty quick enough for most tasks, with read speeds up to 100 megabytes per second and a minimum write speed of 10 megabytes per second.

SanDisk is a purveyor of high-performance, premium microSD cards known for their reliability and compatibility. In fact, its microSD cards are often included in the box with many high-end dashcams, action cameras, and drones — items that require consistent performance and reliability to perform at their best. With today's one-day sale, the Sandisk Extreme 256GB microSD card has dropped down to its lowest price ever of $40.39, available from Amazon.The SanDisk Extreme 256GB microSD is one very well-specced out card. Its A2 notation means it can perform 4,000 read input-out operations per second (IOPS) and 2,000 write IOPS — great for storing your Android phone's app data for quicker file transfers and data manipulation. The UHS speed class 3 (U3) and video speed class 30 (V30) designations denote a sustained video capture rate of 30 MB/s, suitable for reliable real-time video capture with a drone or an action camera. It's also capable of 160 MB/s of read and 90 MB/s of write rates, resulting in faster speeds when moving files back and forth between devices. With 256GB of storage, it should be a while before you need to clear out any space.

We know how commoditized the microSD card market is at the moment. Frankly speaking, if you need to just store things forever, a drawer full of cards might be good and cheap enough for your parents to care for. But if you're actively using them in your cameras and computers, you'll probably want to invest a little bit more. The good news is that you can get a SanDisk 400GB Extreme card for just a little cheaper than usual right now.SanDisk likes to use fun adjectives to class how fast its memory cards can go. In this case, the Extreme is one step up from the basic Ultra card, boasting a typical transfer read speed of 160MB per second — 60% better than the Ultra. If that rating wasn't enough for you, it's also got the V30 badge to show that it's fit for 4K video recording, U3-rated to indicate a minimum write speed of 30MB per second, and an A2 rating to show that it can run heavy-duty Android apps on up to 4,000 input-output operations a second. That speed on such a massive card definitely makes the difference in transferring huge files.
