We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Lexar’s latest 1TB PLAY microSD card down to $78.49 shipped. This updated model that supports faster transfer speeds of up to 205MB/s hit the scene towards the end of last year carrying a $125 price tag. It has fetched as much as $121 in recent months, but it has lately been sitting at the $85 mark. Today’s deal delivers the steepest price drop we’ve tracked for this model to date, dropping it $5.50 below its previous all-time low. It’s also available in 256GB and 512GB capacities, with prices for those starting at just $22.49 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. Head below for more details.

Lexar’s PLAY microSD card boosts transfer speeds from 160MB/s to 205MB/s, offering a noticeable performance upgrade for storing videos, games, music, and other files. This is not to be confused with the brand’s newest PLAY Pro Express microSD cards which are completely sold out right now. The PLAY microSD discounted today works with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and popular gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ASUS ROG Ally. It’s available in sizes from 256GB to 1TB and is one of the fastest cards in its class competing closely with top-tier options from the likes of SanDisk and Samsung.

The 512GB Pro Plus microSD card from Samsung, by the way, is now nearly 50% off at just $30. It’s also a great option to consider if you’re in the market for a discounted microSD card, and it’s down from its usual price of $55.
