    Quick look on Amazon, Samsung EVO 128GB is $36US. Faster ones are about $50.

    I paid about 44 USD a couple of months back on Amazon when I got the Nintendo Switch.

    hmm... I bought a few from Wallyworld around 5 months back. They were on clearance.
    Don't remember the price, but I think it was around $20. The market for microSD has gotten stale.

    I got a Samsung 256gb microSD bundled with my Note 7 at no extra cost. They didn't ask for it back when they recalled the Note 7. So...I'm good :)

    Amazing they like £100+ on Amazon UK.

    John.

    EDIT: I just had to dump an Sandisk 64GB micro-sd, It was full of write errors, I spent day`s with many many test/format apps, I stick to Samsung flash memory when i have a choice.
