If you're a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck owner, getting a micro SD card is a necessity so you can take as many games with you as possible. The Switch Lite and standard Switch come with 32GB of internal storage, and the Switch OLED comes with 64GB. Regardless of which one you own or are planning to buy, a memory card is going to be essential.

And if you're one of the few lucky Steam Deck owners, or like having games on a micro SD card in your laptop, with the size of PC games, you're almost certainly going to have to augment the storage your device comes with.

For Android phone and tablet owners, you'll often have the luxury of saving photos to both your phone, the cloud and also an external micro SD card. So it's better to have a local copy in case your phone accidentally takes a swim in the bath tub.

Samsung and SanDisk have been the best manufacturers of memory cards in recent years, and while there's often discounts to be had, Prime Day is an ideal time to get that 400GB card you've been after for a long time, while saving your wallet some trouble.

Below are some of the best micro SD cards we expect to see in this year's Prime Day sale.

Check out our Jelly Deals Twitter feed for deals on games and accessories across all platforms. We'll be sharing anything with a decent saving during the Prime Day event, maybe a Nintendo Switch or an Android phone to make the most of your new micro SD card.
