It's the lowest price yet for this bundle of three 32GB cards and SD adapter.

Three new microSD cards means giving three of your tech devices a much-needed boost of extra storage. Which device? Name it — they’re basically universal, so digital cameras, GoPro-type video cameras, drones, tablets, laptops, and more. Now you can get a 3-pack of Lexar E-Series 32GB microSD cards and an SD adapter from Amazon for its lowest price ever, just $36.

Each card is rated at 100MB/s sequential read under UHS-I, with A1 app performance certification and a V10 video rating. That means Full HD 1080p recording and playback without dropped frames, faster app loading on Android phones that expand storage via microSD, and enough transfer speed to move a burst of photos off a camera body without a slow-drain cable transfer. The A1 classification covers random read and write performance, which matters when a card is running background app operations rather than just streaming sequential video. At 32GB per card, each one supports around 1.5 hours of 1080p footage or roughly 9,400 photos depending on your camera’s compression.

Triple Play

The practical case for three cards over one is obvious once you are running more than one device. One goes in the security camera on a continuous overwrite loop. One stays in the dash cam. One lives in the camera bag for a trip or shoots stills on a point-and-shoot that you would rather not have to clear mid-session. Buying individual cards at comparable quality costs more and requires more trips to the cart. The included SD adapter covers the scenario where you need to read one of these on a laptop or desktop with a full-size slot.

Durability specs on the E-Series cover waterproofing, temperature resistance, shock resistance, and protection against magnetic interference. Those are table stakes for any card living in a dash cam or outdoor security camera, where condensation, heat cycles, and vibration are routine rather than edge-case stresses. Lexar backs the card with a 10-year limited warranty and covers the SD adapter separately for one year.

Nearly Universal

The Lexar E-Series microSD cards top out at 1080p resolution for video shoots, so 4K and above usage would require a different card. For everything else on the compatibility list, including dash cams, security cameras, older gaming handhelds with microSD expansion, Android phones, and standard digital cameras shooting in JPEG or even compressed RAW, the 100MB/s ceiling is unlikely to become the bottleneck.

$36 for a 3-pack of quality microSD cards with SD adapter beats ordering a single premium card three different times. The Lexar name carries 10 years of warranty coverage on each one, which is enough assurance to make the low price feel like a deal rather than a compromise.
