Two of the best Steam Deck microSD cards are going cheap in the Amazon Spring Sale

Good timing if you recently picked up a Steam Deck on discount, as now you could also save a few quid on one of the best microSD cards for the Valve-made handheld. Two, in fact, as the Amazon Spring Sale is currently cutting prices on the super speedy SanDisk Extreme Pro and the more budget-oriented, but still quick, SanDisk Ultra.

Logic suggests they’d be good for a Nintendo Switch as well, though my performance testing on them was all Deck, all the time. I found the Extreme Pro to be the most consistently fast-loading among its contemporaries, its only drawback being a higher cost. Well, scratch that last point for the time being, as its 512GB model is 54% off. The SanDisk Ultra, meanwhile, was already a cheap microSD card, but it proved surprisingly nimble in my game booting and loading benchmarks. With 20% off the 400GB model, it’s an even better deal.

	SanDisk Ultra 400GB - £40 (was £50) from Amazon UK
	SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB - £69 (was £149) from Amazon UK

Unfortunately it is only these specific capacities that are on sale, although they will both add enough room on your Steam Deck for a good clutch of games – even the hungriest gigabyte hogs in the Steam catalogue.

I’ve rounded up much more cheap hardware on our Amazon Spring Sale PC gaming deals hub, including some great gaming SSDs – if you’re in the market for a desktop storage upgrade instead. Just keep in mind that this is a UK-only sale and will end at 11:59pm on Wednesday, March 29th, so these microSD savings won’t last forever.
