        Yeah, as low as $61 on Amazon for 1TB. Pretty amazing if you’re old like me and remember diskettes.

            Most of the ones on Amazon aren’t trustworthy. Especially at high capacities. But apparently you can get up to 2TB now, at least in theory. I imagine the support for them is pretty limited though still.

              Official “support” just means the biggest size they tested. The current SDXC standard has supported up to 2TB since the standard was released. Any device supporting SDXC should work just fine with a 2TB card even if they don’t specify it as officially supported (assuming they didn’t deliberately nerf their driver for some unfathomable reason).

            In the uk I can get 1TB for 95gbp from sandisk website.

            So probably less than 100 usd in usa from a reputable seller.

            They’re sold as 1TB for that price. But if you actually write that much, you’ll find that only part of your data is there. The rest is garbled or zero.

            There’s tools to restore this (on windows/linux), and it’ll show up as a smaller size when you run them. You can also use such tools to set any fake size you like

        Yep https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-microSD-MicroSDXC-MB-MD1T0SA-AM/dp/B0CWPNS8JY $99.99 it shows for me - not sure how taxes work on this (I’m not American) but that probably counts.
