MicroSD cards are an essential part of our digital life, allowing us to store absolutely incredible amounts of data cheaply, on something barely bigger than your pinkie fingernail.
I have been following the meteoric rise of memory cards for almost a quarter of a century and have owned (and tested) dozens of them.
Anything below 128GB is not worth purchasing in my view, as the price difference with smaller capacities (32GB, 64GB). I’ve added the cheapest models for 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB and have only considered trusted brands such as Silicon Power, Teamgroup, Lexar, Sandisk, Amazon, PNY and Samsung.
I have also added three other products to cover specific use cases. Delkin microSD cards for their overall performance (300MB/s – albeit with a 1000% premium), Sandisk Max Endurance for continuous recording, and PNY 5-pack for affordable storage.
Remember to back up your memory cards to avoid any disappointment should they be damaged, stolen or lost. I strongly recommend getting a cloud backup or cloud storage solution. Data recovery plans from Amazon (via a third party like After Solutions) can be purchased for as little as $2 per year, providing you with peace of mind.
I have picked the best microSD cards (as far as value for money is concerned) for this Black Friday across several use cases and storage capacities and arranged them, below in order of preference.

Share Cryptography works because it is assumed that it is too computationally and economically expensive to be practical. That assumption sits underneath TLS, certificates, signed software, VPN services, and identity systems across enterprise networks. When that cost drops far enough, the protection stops holding.
