Samsung Black Friday deal: Get a 256GB Evo Select microSD card for only $18

I think it’s fair to say you can never own too many SD cards, and thankfully one of the best models available to buy currently is on sale for Black Friday. Amazon has discounted the Samsung Evo Select microSD card. Specifically, the 256GB variant is $4 off its usual $22 price. 

An 18 percent price discount might seem modest, but $18 is a new record low price for the storage device. If you want to avoid shopping on Amazon, Samsung has also reduced the cost of the 256GB model on its website, alongside the 128GB, 512GB and 1TB variants.

Samsung’s Evo Select microSD cards are among the best value you’ll find on the market right now. While there are models that offer faster sequential read and write speeds, it’s hard to argue with the Evo Select line’s mix of performance and affordability. In the case of the 256GB model, the capability to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 160 MB/s is good enough for most tasks. I’ve been using a 128GB Evo Select card in my Switch OLED since the end of last year and have no complaints. Plus, each card comes with a 10-year warranty from Samsung. For $18, that’s a steal if you ask us.
