The new condition 128GB Lexar Professional 3500x CFast 2.0 memory card is currently on sale for $226 at various retailers (eg B&H Photo) but if you are comfortable with USED memory cards, Adorama has a few USED units in “Excellent Minus condition” going for $129 plus shipping. A price difference of almost $100 is certainly no small change 🙂

As usual, used supplies are limited, so it may be gone by the time you are reading this…

Monday: 2pk 32GB Sandisk Ultra microSD for $11 after coupon

If you need 32GB microSD cards, or you have older devices that don’t work with higher capacities, good until Monday 3/23/20 at 11:59pm central time (or earlier if sold out) Woot is offering a new condition 2pk of 32GB Sandisk Ultra microSD cards (A1, U1, Class 10, up to 98MB/sec transfer read) for $11 after using coupon code SANDISK in their shopping cart. It comes out to $5.50 per 32GB card after the coupon. The price before the coupon is $16. They come with the Sandisk Limited Warranty. Limit one offer per customer.

PS: another use, if you have higher capacity memory cards in devices that end up not using them, you can swap out the higher capacity cards and put the 32GB cards in them. You may think you’re gonna fill up the tablet’s 128GB microSD card but when you look six months later, it uses up just 12GB 🙂 Not that I’ve done this, this is purely an example for example purposes. Really! 🙂
