Power up your Nintendo Switch storage with the SanDisk MicroSD card flash sale

By Charles Singletary Jr. April 15, 2019

Storage comes at a premium on the Nintendo Switch, especially since it needs to be able to function on the go in addition to being docked. The smaller form of Nintendo’s hybrid console led to the decision of having only 32GB of internal storage which can pose problems if you’re like us and like to download and play games often — but all is not lost. This can be expanded with SanDisk microSD cards and, lucky for you, the battle for precious storage space can finally end because there is a sweet flash sale going on right now on Amazon.

Amazon is cutting its prices on SanDisk microSD cards as part of the company’s Deal of the Day. Not only can you grab cards for your Nintendo Switch, but you can also get storage like flash drives and portable hard drives for your other digital storage needs.

The Amazon Deal of the Day ends at 3 a.m. ET on April 16, so you’ll need to act quickly if you want to have more than enough room for your Nintendo Switch games, patches, screenshots, and save files. In addition to opening up space for the best exclusives around, you can also spend a few bucks on games that are new to the Nintendo eShop. Final Fantasy VII, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, and Yoshi’s Crafted World are just a few options to choose from.

SanDisk 64GB Extreme microSD card -$14
- Transfer speed – 30MB/sec
SanDisk 128GB Extreme microSD card -$22
- Transfer speed – 30MB/sec
SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSD card -$31
- Transfer speed – 10MB/sec
SanDisk 400GB Extreme microSD card -$86
- Transfer speed – 30MB/sec

The 256GB SanDisk microSD with a higher transfer speed isn’t part of the Deal of the Day, but is discounted a few dollars. There are many microSD cards out in the wild and you may find them at wildly varying prices, but there are a variety of reasons why one card could outperform another with the same storage space. To help, we have a guide on how to choose a microSD card for the Nintendo Switch. The benefits translate to other devices, too, so if you grab a SanDisk card for your camera, you will be getting the best thing offered.

DJI’s Mini SE 2 drone just got a rare price cut

The DJI Mini 2 SE drone in flight.

DJI is the brand to target when you're looking for drone deals, but discounts for its products rarely happen. That's why you shouldn't miss this offer from Best Buy for the DJI Mini 2 SE, which is down by $20 to just $280 from $300 originally. That's not much in terms of savings, but you might as well take it if you're shopping for a high-quality and feature-packed drone. You should hurry with your purchase though, as it would be a shame if you would let this bargain slip through your fingers.

Why you should buy the DJI Mini 2 SE drone
DJI's new drone, the DJI Mini 4K is on its way, and if you take a closer look, its design is very similar to the DJI Mini 2 SE, but probably with a 4K camera equipped. That doesn't mean the DJI Mini 2 SE will be obsolete though, as it will still be a worthwhile purchase even with the launch of the next model. It's lightweight and compact at just 249 grams so it's easy to bring with you on your outdoor adventures, and it's extremely easy to operate with its included remote control.
