This 512GB Samsung Evo Plus Micro SD card can be yours for just £29

Samsung's Evo Plus Micro SD cards are some of the zippiest memory cards on the market, and ones that we've recommended for quite some time in various guises for use in everything from handheld consoles to action cameras and hi-res music players.

From Ebuyer's eBay store, this card is just £29, which is one of the best prices it's been for some time. In the context of bulk Micro SD storage, it also goes to prove just how cheap this stuff has gotten in recent times.

512GB cards are still the price to performance sweet spoy as it were for Micro SD storage, given that 1, 1.5 and 2TB cards are still horrendously expensive. A 1TB variant of this Samsung card is £70 or so at the moment, for reference. 512GB is a good amount of storage, too, and well-suited to a wide range of use cases, whether you're chucking it into an action camera or drone, or using it for storing games on a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, as well as other handheld consoles, too. You can also chuck a capacious microSD like this one into portable DAPs, or digital-audio-players for storing hi-res music files on, which can be quite large in size.

The Evo Plus is an A2 rated card in this config, meaning you're able to play games directly off it with some good performance to boot. Samsung rates the card for up to 130MB/s reads and writes, making it quite a snappy performer, especially for the money. For reference, the requirements needed for a card to garner an A2 rating are a sustained sequential write speed of 10MB/s, as well as 2K IOPS random writes and 4K IOPS random reads. With such high speeds, it reinforces the fact this Evo Plus card is a good choice for handheld consoles, and for more intense workloads.

What's also particularly handy about this Samsung Micro SD card is that you also get a full size SD card adapter, which increases the compatibility of the card to no end. There are some devices, including some laptops (like modern MacBook Pros - trust me, I know the pain) and cameras (like my trusty Canon EOS M50) that only have full-size SD card slots, so being able to use this card with those devices with no performance penalty is brilliant, and justifies the cost of this card even more than it initially did.

£29 for such a capable Micro SD card really isn't too much money at all, and if you're in the market for a lot of storage for cheap to use in a wide range of devices, then you'll want to take a closer look at this deal.
