Amazon’s deal of the day shortens Samsung’s microSD card top to $ 29


Grab a 256 GB Samsung microSD card today for $ 29

Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by a great price on Samsung’s 256GB EVO Select microSD card, which currently stands at $ 29.49 at Amazon. Although the street price on this card has been steadily declining over the past year, this discount is still around $ 9 of its typical continuous rate online, and it is within $ 2 of the lowest price we have seen for this variant. Amazon says this is a one-day sale, though the 128GB model was last week discounted to $ 19 if you don’t need as much storage.

We’ve highlighted sales on the EVO Select a few times in the past, but it remains a solid option for those who want to boost the storage capacity of their Nintendo Switch, GoPro, Android smartphone, dash cam, or anything else . It’s not the absolute fastest card for running apps or an OS of Raspberry Pi these days, but as a Class 10, U3 rated card, it still performs well for the needs of most people. It has a 4.7-star rating on Amazon after more than 27,000 user reviews, which ranks well for its reliability over time, and Samsung backs the card with a 10-year limited warranty. Overall, it has been one of the best-value microSD cards on the market for a few years now; this price promotes that only.

However, if you do not need more storage space, we also have deals on Apple’s AirPods, USB-C hubs and chargers, PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscriptions, and more. See our full summary of deals below.
