  • I can understand the TB ones being expensive but 128/512 what’s the deal yo!!!

  • Even 30$ seems like a lot for micro sd, maybe I’m just out of touch tho

  • Fwiw the UK prices are similar.

  • You think it’s bad now? Wait till the Chyyyna tariffs kick in.

    pretty typical prices imo, lower storage options like 32/64/128gb have gotten more expensive because more people need more storage, than less.

    amazon one will be fine as long as you remember to clear it when it's full and it's not like, some lossless recording 4k backyard cam lol

  • Absolutely nothing wrong with the Amazon branded cards. I have 3 of the Amazon basics cards - 1 in a Switch, one in a NextCam dash cam and one in an Insta360. Haven't had any issues with any of them.

    Awesome! For 11$ its def going to be tested! I’m not pay 90$ I’ll just get the camera service for 2$ a month at that price 🤣

  • I dunno, but I bought two of those Sandisk ones pictured a couple months ago and one is already not functioning. Next time I’m trying the even cheaper Amazon ones.

    I'd honestly trust Amazon basics branded flash storage over name brand stuff in theory, unless you're certain you're buying it from their official store.

    Fake branded SD and Micro SD cards are bad on online retailers, they might not get advertised speeds, can't record for advertised length, might not even have the actual amount of storage you bought, available on it.

    Often times they'll spoof the GB number and just delete your first written data to keep up the illusion that you have the full amount. By the time many notice it's outside the return window. Nasty stuff.

    I've gotten plenty of SD cards that were legit from the Sandisk and Lexar Amazon stores, just make sure to test them well in the return window :)

    Dang! People are so lame making fake SD cards lol sheesh!!!
    Great info man! I’m going with the amazon for my 20$ camera!
    The sd card will still be worth half the price of the device 🤣🤣🤣

  • SD cards have gone from MB to GB capacities and over time Moore’s law has kept pricing pretty constant while capacities have multiplied.

    After capacity the read/write rates have also multiplied following improvement in I/O bus specs to support larger video frame sizes and rates.

    Competition makes these essential components very cost efficient.

    We bought a grandchild a printing camera for $30 that includes SD card memory. She took 50 pictures herself and all of them are currently cloned on my iPad as a memory of her visit.

    The camera prints in adding machine paper so her dot matrix or grey scale “photos” cost about $.0.07 each. So it’s not one of those’ gifts that cost her mother a lot to maintain the habit. The product shipped with 3 rolls of paper and I suspect each roll will print 100 images.

    We live in an amazing time for creatives with digital tools that lower costs inversely to Moore’s Law of doubling performance and capacity at somewhat fixed costs overtime. We seem to be reaching physical limits on this “law” but someone always seems to find a new technology to keep advancing. If you can double specs then add parallel engines and scale with traditional approaches of having more minions under the hood.
