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 64GB SanDisk microSD card so it can hold more?

The Big Kahuna
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.

There are plenty of storage sizes to fit your Fire Tablet’s needs, but I think that SanDisk’s 64GB card is the best of all worlds. It offers plenty of storage space, incredible speed, and comes at a great price. Happy storing!
