Today’s Deal is on the Lexar 64GB UHS-I/U1 MicroSD card.  Today on Amazon you can pick one up for $19.99 including the SD Card adaptor.  This is over a 50% discount off the regular price and given it’s specs, should work in just about any Android phone or tablet.  It features a 45MB/s Read speed and 20MB/s Write speed which is fast enough for it to capture full 1080p HD and even 4K video.  You can store 8 hours of HD video on the card so it will be great for video cameras too.

Like other MicroSD cards, this one is pretty much resistant to the elements.  It is resistant to magnets, cold, heat and of course water (or snow) so if you drop it, you won’t ruin it under normal circumstances.

For the $19.99 price, you will also get the SD card adaptor so you can slide the card into your Macbook or other devices for reading of the card and pulling off of videos and photos directly to your computer.  As always, be sure to check the specifications of your phone, tablet or camera to assure that this card will work for you.  If your device is from 2015 or newer, chances are you’ll be just fine but double-check.

For more details and information on Today’s Deal, head over to Amazon.

At CES 2017, SanDisk has announced an all new 256GB MicroSD card specifically aimed at mobile devices.  The new card supports Application Performance Class 1, or A1 for short, a new standard in the industry for storage cards.  This new standard means that this card is fast enough to run applications directly from them, not just be a storage facility for photos and videos.  The challenge with MicroSD cards in mobiles is that they are often too slow on the read/write to be able to run an application.  This new card from SanDisk solves that, with a read speed of 95MB/sec and the ability to handle up to 1500 random read input-output access per second and 500 write input-output access per second.  All this technical information simply says that this card is blazing fast and can run applications in real time with no problem.

It seems like every week there is a sale going on at Amazon on SanDisk MicroSD storage but the 200GB model is often left out of the loop.  Not today.  If you have been wanting to pick up the top-end card you can do it, today only, for $59.99 on Amazon.  That’s a massive different from when the card was released last year at over $200 but more recently has been in the $80 range.  Obviously, if you are planning to put this into your Android phone or tablet, make sure it can support this big of a card.  Many devices, especially those over a year old, can’t do it so make sure before you make the purchase.  If it is too big, you can still pick up a great deal on the 128GB card.
