512 GB microSD cards are down to their lowest price yet in an Amazon deal of the day

Storage devices just keep getting cheaper. In today’s Amazon deal of the day, a 512 GB microSD card from PNY is on sale for $80.99. That’s is the lowest price we’ve seen on a card that size, by about $20, and it’s more than 50 percent off the $169.99 launch price on this particular model.

There’s also a PNY Pro Elite 512 GB micro SD card, which is a bit faster and can record 4K video, on sale for $89.99.

With the Nintendo Switch’s measly 32 GB of internal memory, a storage upgrade is practically a necessity, unless you’re willing to buy only physical games or pick and choose which games to keep installed at any given time. 512 GB will hold a lot of games; I’m only just beginning to reach capacity on the 256 GB card I put in my Switch over a year ago.

The Amazon deal of the day discounts some other PNY storage devices as well, including flash drives, SSDs, and standard SD cards. It ends at 3 a.m. ET on Friday, June 15.
