Silicon Power 1TB microSD card:$84.99$44.99 at AmazonSave 32%Silicon Power tops ourbest MicroSD cardguide. It also achieves the cheapest per TB cost of any genuine memory card on the market. There’s simply no one more affordable.
Since its launch more than three years ago, I have been keeping a keen eye on the Superior 1TB MicroSD card from Silicon Power. I have seen its price drop from $170 at launch to a mere$45 now, a drop of $125 or nearly 75%, right now at Amazon.
This card, which is compatible with theNintendo Switchand comes with a five-year warranty, is the cheapest 1TB MicroSD card availabe today. There’s simply no reason to buy a smaller card or a card from a different provider unless you’re looking for something specific (e.g. a much faster card or one that has more endurance).
I reviewed itback in December 2020 and gave it an Editor’s choice award and a 5/5 rating plus the top spot on ourbest microSDbuying guide.
Back then, I said, “The Silicon Power 1TB microSD card delivers what it promised, a solid, if unimpressive performance, at a rock bottom price, significantly undercutting the rest of the competition. For single-handedly bringing the prospect of owning a 1TB storage product closer to the masses, it deserves a best value award.”
My recommendation would be to go bigger with your microSD card, unless your device doesn’t support those with larger storage capacities. That is why, as we approach 2024, I don’t recommend memory cards smaller than 256GB to anyone else as you will end up paying extra (on a per GB basis) plus go through the hassle of potentially having to swap cards around.
Oh and do avoid the lure of super cheap microSD cards. There’s plenty of those around and they can not only damage your device but also inject malware into your smartphone.
