Cheapest SD Cards

Steam Deck has several versions with different sizes of internal storage. The smallest size is 64 GB, which is extremely small for today’s games. However, if you wish, you can expand the storage with an SD card.

To select the right SD card, you need to pay attention to three points:

  • Size
  • Price
  • Speed

Looking for a balance between these points, you will highlight brands such as Samsung, Lexar, and SanDisk. Now you need to think about what needs you need to expand the storage. Since an SD card with a large storage size will cost many times more.

The cheapest option is the 64 GB Lexar Micro SD, which fits all three of the above. This SD card costs around $11. However, we recommend you shell out another $10 and purchase the SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I. The size of this SD card is twice as large, which will allow you not to experience problems with a lack of storage.

If you know that you are not limited to a couple of games, you can choose the same SanDisk Extreme but 256 GB. This SD card will set you back at about $35.
