    Warning: The 1TB versions are 65% off their never actually used price of $300. They are only a couple bucks cheaper today than yesterday, and I opted not to buy one because that’s just shady behavior on Amazon’s part.

    Tools like CamelCamelCamel can help you avoid getting scammed by Jeffery!

      Jeffrey regularly forces CCC to omit certain sales from price history. This means that while you can definitely use CCC to see that an SD card was only ever $300 five years ago when it first released, it also means that if the history chart makes it out to seem like the current price is the lowest price ever, it may be missing the fact that the item regularly dips to that price during the last several sales.

        Maybe long term, but other than that they’re extremely similar. Same specs and while Samsung makes the flash memory I prefer, the Amazon Basics ones are made by the company that bought Lexar and makes the drive in the 64gb Deck.
