This massive 1.5TB SanDisk microSD card is down to an even lower price on amazon
Now that's a big card.
Micro SD cards in a capacity larger than a terabyte have been a rarity, as it's pushed the limits of what's possible with flash storage. However, we have begun to see larger cards make their way onto the market, as well as also drop in price as they get further into their life cycle. This 1.5TB SanDisk Ultra option is a powerful performer, and its price has gone even lower than when we first covered a deal on it a couple of months ago - it's now £115.
The big thing here is the massive capacity on offer here, giving you as much space as many comparatively priced top-class SSDs in some cases. It's a lot of space for storing games on on a handheld console, or for storing 4K video, which can be quite a storage hog if you're filming a lot at once. The previous biggest Micro SDs were a terabyte in size, so this is giving you an extra 500GB to play around with, and that's a lot more space for not much more in terms of outlay. A 1TB card of the same type is £90, so you're essentially getting a 500GB microSD on top for an extra £25, which is cheaper than a dedicated card of an equivalent size.
This SanDisk Ultra card is an A1 rated card in this config, meaning you're able to play games directly off it with some decent performance to boot. Despite that lower rating however, SanDisk rates this ard for up to 150MB/s reads and writes, which make it a fantastic performer for the price. For reference, the requirements needed for a card to garner an A1 rating are sustained sequential write speed of 10MB/s, as well as 0.5K IOPS random writes and 1.5K IOPS random read. With this SanDisk card's speeds in mind, it makes it a good choice for both Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch use - this card has been recommended in both of our guides in the past for that very reason.
If you're after a truly massive microSD card for an excellent price, this Amazon deal on this SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB is not to be missed.
