The best microSD cards for your Amazon Fire tablet

The Amazon Fire Tablet is a great investment, but it can run out of storage space pretty fast. That means it's time for a microSD card.

Whether you have a Fire Tablet for yourself or your kids, you've probably noticed that the internal storage doesn't go very far. You can easily fill it up with some games, a few apps, and media, which is a bit disappointing. Instead of trying to figure out what to delete, and how to micro-manage the storage, why not make things easier and add a microSD card so it can hold more?

Whether you are waiting for your brand new Amazon Fire tablet to arrive, or are using the previous generation, here are some great options you will want to consider.

SanDisk 64GB microSD

With 64GB of extra storage, you'll easily be able to install a ton of new apps, save music and movies locally to access whenever you want, and much more. Priced at around $21, it's hard to find a much better value than this microSD card.

See at Amazon

SanDisk is a well-known brand when it comes to portable storage, and its cards are almost always highly recommended — this one is specifically made for the Fire Tablets and Fire TV. For most of what you will do with your Fire Tablet, UHS-I will be fast enough to meet your needs. It may take a few seconds longer for the initial transfer of information to the card, but after that, you won't notice much of a difference.

Samsung 32GB Evo Plus microSD

This high-performance card offers transfer speeds of up to 80MB/s, and they're built to last. These cards are water-, temperature-, magnetic-, and even X-ray-proof. For right around $14, that's hard to beat.

All of these good things must mean that it is on the pricey side, right? Wrong. Samsung has been making storage products for quite some time now, and has been offering extremely affordable microSD cards — this one will cost you less than some movie tickets.

Silicon Power 64GB microSD

Silicon Power's 64GB microSD offers speeds you'd expect out of a memory card for this price, with nothing crazy that makes it stand out. It can work in a variety of devices and comes with a lifetime warranty, so you shouldn't have to worry much about it. Coming in at $13, you can't go wrong with adding one of these to prevent the inevitable running out of storage.

Just like the SanDisk and Samsung cards, Silicon Power's microSD card is rated at Class 10, with read speeds up to 85 MB/s, and it includes an adapter that allows you to put the microSD card in your computer, camera or anything else that takes a full-sized SD card.

PNY Elite 128GB microSD

PNY makes a variety of different sizes at different price points, and the 128GB sits at a pretty sweet spot. For just under $40, you can load tons of movies, endless amounts of apps and pictures, and almost never have to worry about filling it up.

It may be more than you need initially, but having extra space is never really a bad thing. Of course, getting this much storage will cost you a decent chunk of change, but PNY is reasonable with its pricing and even offers a bundle with its USB On-The-Go card reader for a bit more.

SanDisk Ultra 200GB microSD

200GB is the largest capacity that the Fire Tablet is meant to use, and if you tend to burn through storage with tons of local music, movies, and offline videos, this is a nice option to have. It's also not terribly expensive at $51.

See at Amazon

Sure, 200GB is a lot of space to have, but do you want to have to worry about storage ever again? If you don't want to worry about what you have on the tablet or deleting one thing to install another, you'll want to get one of these right now! A few years ago it would have cost a fortune to put that much storage inside your tablet, but now it is totally affordable.
