The Cost of SD Cards in 2026

On Friday, I replaced the Ring doorbell camera on our house, one that’s been there for more than a decade, with a Reolink doorbell camera.

The Reolink doesn’t require a subscription, its video streams are end-to-end encrypted, and it can archive video on local storage (rather than Amazon’s cloud).

It does, however, require a MicroSD card that you supply yourself, and when I went shopping yesterday I was shocked to see how steeply prices have risen.

I ended up buying a Kingston 128GB card for $54.99.
