SanDisk 64GB mixroSDXC Card With Adapter Is Going for Nothing Thanks to Prime Day Effect
A lot of devices these days can have storage added via a microSD card. Seriously, consoles, phones, tablets, and even things like dash cams can sometimes be boosted with a good microSD card. It means that they stay in high demand pretty much all the time, which also means they hold their value really well. Because of this, any chance to save on a good microSD card is one that you should probably take if you've got a device that needs one. Right now, you can pick up a SanDisk 64GB Max Endurance microSD card with an adapter for just $16. It'd normally cost you $21, so while this is only a $5 reduction, that still equates to 24% off. That makes this thing an absolute steal, especially as these kinds of SD cards can be so useful. See at Amazon This style of microSD card is designed specifically for dash cams and security cameras. There are two reasons for this. The first is that it's designed to be able to be used over and over again over the course of a staggering amount of time. The other is that they're highly durable. It just means they do very well when outdoors, or in the kinds of temperature fluctuations you'd expect in a car. This particular microSD card is capable of being used to record and re-record up to 30,000 hours worth of video, which is a truly silly amount of hours. You could comfortably use this for over a decade without any major issues, and that's the kind of reliability you want from a microSD card. It's also the kind of reliability you want when using a security camera, so it's a great match. Then there's the durability. This thing's hardier than most homes. It's temperature-proof, waterproof, shockproof, and x-ray proof. It means that you'd have to really go for it to try and destroy it while it's in a device, at least when it comes to any conditions that might normally impact a security camera or a dash cam. You can even use this to save video in either full HD, which will allow for more video to be recorded at once, or in 4K, just in case you need the additional detail. This thing does an incredible amount of work for just $21, so being able to get it while it's down to just $16 instead is the kind of deal you should pounce on. See at Amazon

SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD Remains Discounted on Amazon, Rated 4.6 Stars by 80K Reviewers
Running out of storage is always a rough time. Whether you're looking to play more games, do more work, or just have more photos, digital storage is important these days. There are plenty of different ways to upgrade it now as well though, which is great, and for a lot of people, the best option can be a portable SSD. A good one can be pricey, but there are some good deals here and there that can help out. Amazon currently has the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD down from $210 to $135, which is a 36% reduction. That's an excellent price for one of the most reliable portable SSDs on the market right now. After all, SanDisk makes all manner of storage options and does it so well. There's no telling how long this deal will last though, and that means that if you decide you want it, you should act on that quickly. See at Amazon The things that really make portable SSDs good are that you can connect them to whatever device you need. Which means that it's easy to transport data between devices, or just add the storage to the PC or the laptop you actually need it on, when you need it. Not only that, but they can be excellent as a backup option as well. Being able to save important photos or documents is important to do both online and offline. This particular model has a lot of extra durability to help out with both functions too. It's not only IP65 water and dust resistant, but also has drop protection up to three meters, which should be enough for nearly any situation you might be using it in. Along with the impressive 2TB size, it's also got respectable speeds of up to 1,050MB/s, which should be more than enough for most use cases. It also has a handy carabiner loop, which makes it easy to secure it to a bag or anything else to really help keep it safe. It's got everything you need in a portable SSD, and with a high degree of quality as well. It's even good for handing data over to relatives or friends who might not like sending things digitally, for whatever reason. That's an awful lot of flexibility in just one device, especially when you can currently get it for just $135 while this deal is on at Amazon. See at Amazon

Why Micron Stock Dropped on Monday
Edgewater Research warned that prices and demand for computer memory chips would fall in the second half of 2025. Micron stock has decent earnings, but its free cash flow already looks weak. And now that free-cash-flow number could get even worse. 10 stocks we like better than Micron Technology › Shares of computer semiconductor memory maker Micron (NASDAQ: MU) tumbled 4.3% through 11:45 a.m. ET Monday. You can probably blame Edgewater Research for that. There's not a lot of detail available yet on what Edgewater said about Micron today. So far, the most I've found is the briefest of mentions, on that the research firm says demand and pricing for computer memory in the first half of 2025 appear to have been "better." (Better than last year? Better than expected? Your guess is as good as mine.) And that both demand and pricing will be "sub seasonal," or worse than the company's historical average for the second half of a year, and with "bias lower." Which would appear to mean that things will be somewhat bad, and potentially worse than investors are expecting. Also, it's worth pointing out that Edgewater says this is true for both Micron and its rival SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK). Admittedly, this isn't a whole lot of detail, nor does it give investors a whole lot of explanation for why they might to want to sell Micron -- or SanDisk, whose stock is down 8.6%. So how worried should you be? In the case of Micron, I'd be pretty worried. Although reported earnings of $6.2 billion (according to generally accepted accounting principles) look fine to me, the company generated less than $1.9 billion in real free cash flow over the last 12 reported months. On a $139 billion market cap, that works out to a very expensive price-to-free cash flow ratio of 74 -- which is probably too much to pay. And the greater the "bias lower" in H2 2025, the less inclined I'd be to buy Micron stock. Before you buy stock in Micron Technology, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Micron Technology wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $671,477!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,010,880!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,047% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 180% for the S&P 500.

Why SanDisk Stock Slumped on Monday
Edgewater Research just warned of falling prices and falling demand for computer memory in the year's second half. SanDisk isn't in a great place to receive this news, with its stock already unprofitable. If SanDisk can survive 2025, however, profits could return in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than Sandisk › Shares of computer semiconductor memory maker SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) tumbled 8.3% through 12:15 p.m. ET Monday. You can probably blame Edgewater Research for that. We don't yet know everything about Edgewater's report on Micron. All I've been able to learn is that has a very short write-up today advising that Edgewater thinks demand and pricing for computer memory in the first half of 2025 was "better" Maybe better than last year. Maybe better than Edgewater was expecting. Maybe better than what other analysts were forecasting. Now the bad news: Demand and pricing will be "sub seasonal" in the second half of this year, says Edgewater, and with a "bias lower." That implies things may be getting worse, not better. Edgewater says this is true for both SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) and for its rival Micron (NASDAQ: MU), by the way. So how much should this all worry you, if you own SanDisk stock? Quite a lot, at least in the short term. SanDisk was already unprofitable, with losses amounting to $1.5 billion over the last 12 reported months. Investors were already braced for bad news this year, with analysts forecasting losses of $1.4 billion. Now that number might be getting even worse. The good news is that SanDisk is expected to turn profitable again next year, earning perhaps $607 million. That would give the stock a P/E ratio of about 11 on 2026 earnings, versus its current P/E based on earnings that are still negative. If the stock sells off hard on Edgewater's latest report, and if you're patient enough to wait for this to improve next year, now might be a good time to buy this cyclical semiconductor stock.
