The long weekend is over and the summer season is unofficially underway. If you’re anything like me, you plan to spend the long, warmer days of summer catching up on Switch games. Even if that isn’t your plan, you can still take advantage of Amazon’s Deal of the Day on micro SD cards. If you picked up a new Switch on sale, or you’re considering it, you can save even more when expanding its storage capabilities.
Nintendo Switch Compatible Micro SD Deals
512GB Extreme Micro SD 30% Off
On Amazon
This might be the last micro SD card you ever buy for your Nintendo Switch. While the 1TB version of this card is on sale now, and the Switch is capable of accepting the as-of-yet unreleased 2TB cards, a 512GB micro SD card is going to take a lot of effort on your part to fill up. But I believe in you. You can do it, if you try.
While these cards are compatible with Nintendo Switch, they’re also great cards for any device that can accept micro SD cards. Since they’re “Extreme,” they have faster read/write speeds than Ultra micro SD cards, making them ideal for video and photography purposes.
- 512GB (30% off) for $139.99 with free shipping
- 400GB (61% off) for $97.98 with free shipping
- 256GB (31% off) for $43.19 with free shipping
200GB Ultra Micro SD $24.99
On Amazon
You don’t need an Extreme card for your Nintendo Switch, unless you value being 10-20% more awesome when describing it. An Ultra card is plenty fast enough to handle whatever you might have saved to it, and it’s only $25 for 200GB right now.
There are lots of chances to save on SanDisk Ultra micro SD cards, with the 400GB card coming in at just over $60.
- 200GB for $24.99 with free shipping
- 400GB for $60.29 with free shipping
External Hard Drive Deals
WD My Book 8TB External HDD 47% Off
On Amazon
For $159.99 you can get a massive external hard drive for your PS4, Xbox One, or PC. Eight terabytes of room is almost unfathomable. If you work with 4K video files or you’re one of those people who transferred over their media collection to back-up, this is a singular solution to your storage needs. If you’re a true archivist, you should buy two (one for back-up).
External storage has never been cheaper or more spacious. If you’re looking for a great way to back up your files or a place to store all your digital gaming purchases, consider one of these solutions on sale today. All qualify for free shipping.
