Looks like Amazon have reduced the price of the Sandisk 256GB microSD card by £57.
According to camelcamelcamel it is the second lowest price for a while.
A good shout for mobile phones with SD cards :smiley:

£112 is still a crazy price for 256gb, when you can get a 128gb version for ~£25.
Sorry, but cold - I can't imagine why anyone would want a £112 256gb Ultra card (consumer level, non pro speed, not particularly reliable, expensive etc)
That was over two months ago and has been closer to the £75 mark ever since.

Hardly an intelligent post.
Memory cards have been priced like this for years. The highest capacity card is always 3-4 times the cost of the next highest capacity available. We'll exclude the outlier 200GB version as that would be an intellectually dishonest response.

OP .. "Looks like Amazon have reduced the price of the Sandisk 256GB microSD card by £57."
Still toooooooo much :OUCH' ss far as I'm concerned?. :-(
Sorry, but I agree with Comment No. 2 above (& also here):
Worth mentioning this price is only £2 more than the lowest it's been :smiley: £109.99 around Christmas time

The best thing is that a lot of people's phones will be a similar price haha.
Yea cold from me too, the premium is too high on these. Don't people cloud / remote storage these days?

I honestly don't understand how there's a market for £100+ 256gb microSD cards. MicroSD cards right at the bottom of the memory food chain in terms of performance and reliability. This is too slow for a pro photographer (who will want to use multiple faster and more reliable cards in any event) and for someone expanding an old tablet, you might as well buy a new one and a 128gb card for the cost of this....

This must be the cream of the crop manufacture. Pros buy these ones, but I can't see what's the difference, perhaps these are extremely reliable

A pro photog wouldn't touch this with a 100ft bargepole.

Agreed. Forgot about there uses for photography as well, but still the price doesn't reflect the product.
