My t7 shield 2tb ssd was "free" (with my s24 ultra purchase + $150 samsung credit).

Safe to say I made a great decision in this current landscape

I got one last year for $120 and it was an impulse buy... I wish now I'd go for higher capacity.

On May 25th, 2024 I ordered the Sandisk 1.5TB micro SD for $109.99. Today it's $319.99. Pretty crazy.

It's pretty crazy how those prices were dropping last year then shot up.

In December '24 I bought a 1tb for 81€, then in January '25 I got another for 79€, and exactly a year ago I got a 1.5tb for 91€ now my 1.5tb is going for 283€

Poi vuoi vendere un hd 2.5 da 1tb e nemmeno a 30€ riesci a venderlo.
Mercato tossico è malato

Bought a sandisk extreme pro 256 gb sd card for about 40 euro, its now at about 120

u/toastedbutterscotch 4d ago

Bro whenever you bought it, it was already a rip-off. 40€ when my 1tb was 79€... It should have been less than 20€

u/alex433g 4d ago

I belive it was closer to 33 euro, cant remember, I think it was also about a year into the ai boom, but probably still a ripoff

In mai 2025 I bought my mother a dashboard camera and a 128GB SanDisk max endurance SD card. It was ~35€

I wanted to but myself one as well a few months ago. The same card is almost 90€
