Could anyone please suggest a good micro SD card that is reasonably priced and is great for the steam deck? You go to Amazon and you find a gazillion brand with many different prices. Plus all the horror stories I've seen online with all the fake storage people buy from Amazon. So, if you guys have a suggestion I'd really appreciate some links/names. I'm open for best buy and micro center and even Walmart if I needed to. I'm looking for a 1TB card and I don't care about the brand as long as it works well. Thank you all in advance.

for the cards..

sandisk extreme ($139 at bby) is a good choice. the switch-licensed card is the same price, and i think it's the same card inside. the switch one also has a discount for bbyplus members (look on bby site for that).

the samsung pro plus costs a bit less and works well, too ($89 at bby).

for where to get them, safely..

buy in-store (or online for immediate pickup) from a major (b&m) retailer to avoid the potential problems with amazon's co-mingled inventory.
