We’re always on the lookout for great microSD cards for Steam Deck, and now James’ pick of the bunch has seen another discount worth mentioning.
Last month, Samsung’s Pro Plus 1TB microSD card saw a drop to $89.99 at Amazon, but now the same model (which sounds like a caffeine supplement we have in the UK) is down to $74.99 with a 35% discount.
Save on this 1TB microSD card for your Steam Deck
Read speeds are up to 180MB/s, and write speeds are at 130MB/s. And in James’ testing, it performed very well when it comes to load times.
As the man himself said when covering the best options for your Valve handheld: “The Samsung Pro Plus was the first card I tested to get under 11s in the Aperture Desk Job launch test, as well as the first to hit 16s dead in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider loading test.”
“The SanDisk Extreme Pro has since posted even faster load times, but Samsung’s microSD has a generally better balance of price and performance.”
In case you’re wondering (which you’d be right to do as we approach Black Friday), this is only $5 more than the lowest price we’ve ever seen this model at, suggesting whether you buy now or later, it’s a great price for a great card.
1TB too much for you? The 512GB is also discounted, with a 35% saving bringing it down to just $39.99 – a good deal, but $5 more expensive than it was a few weeks ago.
