If you need a high-capacity microSD card for Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or Windows gaming handheld, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale includes a rare discount on the largest one on the market today. SanDisk’s 1.5TB Ultra microSD card is on sale for a massive $61 price cut, dropping the price to only $89. This makes the 1.5TB Ultra cheaper than many microSD cards with only 1TB storage capacity. But you probably don’t want to wait too long; the last time the 1.5TB Ultra was discounted to a similar price, it sold out before Prime Day ended.

Games for Steam Deck and Windows devour storage space more than games for Nintendo Switch, so the 1.5TB Ultra is a great pick for users who are downloading a bunch of Steam games on their handheld. But for Switch users, 1.5TB might be a bit overkill. There are some great deals on lower-capacity microSD cards for Big Deal Days, too. If you’re a Zelda fan, you can snag the officially licensed 1TB SanDisk microSD emblazoned with the Royal Crest. Meanwhile, 512GB cards SanDisk cards are only $32, and Samsung’s high-end (faster) 512GB Pro Plus is on sale for $40.
If you want to stick with a high-capacity SanDisk but with faster transfer speeds than the Ultra, the 1TB SanDisk Extreme is available for $78.59. The Extreme model offers up to 190MB/s transfer speed, while the Ultra is graded for 150MB/s–plenty fast enough for most users, but those who transfer files between storage devices frequently may want to consider opting for the Extreme.
