The first batch of Steam Decks will be available at the end of the month, and as spectacular as the hardware looks, most gamers will require more storage space. The most expensive version of Valve’s handheld has 64GB of storage, while the most expensive version has 512GB of storage. If you’ve amassed a sizable game collection over the years and want to take it with you on the road, consider picking up this SanDisk 400GB micro SD card, which is now on sale for $40.
For those who are unaware, every variation of Nintendo’s popular Switch console can be upgraded in memory by inserting a micro SD card. While you’re more likely to find offers on micro SD cards with 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of storage, Amazon has an unbeatable deal on the SanDisk 400GB type. Normally $69.99 (but typically between $45 and $50), you can currently get one for $39.99. It’s only a few dollars less than the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
Because the Steam Deck’s card reader is built for UHS-1 micro SD cards, quicker and more expensive micro SD cards are unlikely to make a difference.
Normally $70, Amazon is cutting the price of the SanDisk Ultra 400GB Ultra to $40 just in time for the introduction of Steam Deck. If you’re more interested in Nintendo handhelds, the card is also compatible with the Switch.
While the 400GB model is the most heavily discounted, the 32GB and 32GB (Two Pack) models are also available at a little discount. They’re a little underwhelming for games—most AAA titles won’t fit on these cards—but with prices starting at $8.25, they could be a nice option if you don’t have a large catalogue.
