Thanks to the global memory crisis known as RAMageddon, prices on tech essentials like hard drives, microSD cards, and portable SSDs have been on a relentless upward trajectory. Experts we've spoken to warn that the shortage is going to get worse before it gets better. Prime Day day might be over, but almost all of our top memory deals are still live.
The sale technically ended yesterday, but we've done the digging to track down the best remaining deals in the memory category. If your laptop is running on fumes, this is likely your last chance to pick up a drive from Lexar, Samsung, or SanDisk.
Best MicroSD Card deal
$319.99 Save $80
If you're maxing out device storage, enough is enough. The Samsung T7 brings an immense amount of storage space (1TB to be exact) in a tiny package. It can store your favorite games and capture high-res photos and 4K video in real time. It pulls a lot of weight, and right now, you can pay just $239.99 for the MicroSD card, saving you $80 after Prime Day.
Best portable SSD deal
$261.84 Save $28.85
Our original choice for this category (the 1TB Sandisk portable SSD) is no longer available. However, the 2TB version of the same drive is still in stock and discounted.
This model features a built-in loop for attaching to a backpack or belt loop, making it a functional option for travel. SanDisk claims speeds up to 800 MB/s via a USB-C connection. It's currently on sale for $232.99, down from $261.84.
