WHY ARE THESE TINY MOTHERFUCKERS SO GOD DAMNED EXPENSIVE???!

You ever think....maybe because they're tiny?

Extremely reliable and good write speed. I've been through four micro sd cards in two years. Should have just bought a good one like in the pic in the first place.

show me a 240GB SSD that can fit into a micro SD slot and maybe you'd have an argument there.

That's why

2.5" laptop hard drives are tiny compared to 3.5" ones yet they cost about the same. I kinda doubt this.

>>58729301
Theyre slightly smaller, to the point where price is similar due to less materials needed.

>>58729301
you're retarded. go back to your video games.

>>58729295
Three times the capacity

In case anyone else is retarded.

If less materials are required to make a micro SD card compared to a 2.5" SSD then why are they charging us up the arse?

A 256GB micro SD card costs ~3X as much as a 240GB 2.5" SSD.

I think we're being jewed to death.

I can go to the store and buy a 40 pound bag of salt for 15 dollars, why the fuck is my 2 pound computer costing so much???????

Alright let me make a more fair comparison...

A M.2 2280 SSD is 22x80mm, so 1,760mm squared

A micro SD card is 24x32mm, so 768mm squared

A 240GB m.2 2280 SSD can be found for around $100, it's only 2X as big as a micro SD card yet costs half as much.

I dunno guys something doesn't seem right with the prices of these micro SD cards.

>>58729443
almost, except micro SDs are 11x15mm. even assuming this comparison holds water (which it doesn't), micro SDs are 11 times smaller.

I gotchu senpai. They're on sale.

>>58729443
you know just a few years ago, a 32gb micro sd card use to be around $60 or so, now you can get one for around $12 if not cheaper and they are much faster

plus 128gb was introduced not that long ago and it was extremely expensive, now you can get them for maybe around $40

I think micro sd cards are pretty cheap

>>58729576
holy fuck

>>58729258
Literally the best you can get.
Why wouldnt they be expensive?
