Gaming is a fun hobby, but it can start to add up in cost after a while, especially if you decide to purchase add-ons or extra hardware. But Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is a great time to stock up on everything from new tech to accessories such as this Lexar Play 1TB MicroSDXC card while it’s down to just $64 — its lowest ever price and a discount of $66. Now is a great time to stock up on small accessories like this if you’ve been saving up for them.
This Lexar 1TB MicroSDXC card is compatible with Nintendo Switch, tablets, smartphones and other gaming devices. It offers transfer speeds of up to 160MB/s, and it can write your game save data at speeds of up to 100MB/s. If you use this card in your phone or tablet instead of the Switch, the Lexar Play lets you capture, store and transfer 4K and FHD quality video so you can easily save your favorite content and media without being stuck waiting for the camera app to finish buffering.
If you need a cheaper option, the 256GB version of this MicroSDXC card is down to $18 for Prime members, which saves you $10. You can also currently save $15 on the 512GB Lexar MicroSDXC card, so you’ll pay only $35 at Amazon right now.
This card supports the maximum speeds for the current generation of the Nintendo Switch, and should be perfect for any microSD needs short of professional-grade e-sports and long-duration UHD filming. The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to support microSD Express, with pre-orders open for the new 900MB/s-capable Lexar Play Pro 1TB microSD Express card at $200 «for Nintendo Switch 2,» but it’ll be massive overkill for 96.7% of us.
Unless you’re obsessed with the latest specs for any accessory that touches your portable console, today’s $64 Lexar Play 1TB will be less than half the price and more than fast enough for every phone, tablet, camera, or console currently in your home.
