Like a lot of people I have various devices that either boot off or use micro SD cards. It's really just my HP Microserver and a bunch of Raspberry PIs. I don't need more than 4GB but most of them have 16GB or 32GB cards. If I could buy a bunch of 4GB cards that would free up a bunch of 32GB cards for other uses. Problem is all the ones I find are either really slow, low quality (going by the look of them) or practically the same price as a 16 or 32GB card. Any suggestions? Can I buy a 5 pack or something for $20?
Where to Buy Smaller but High Quality Micro SD Cards?

These are the ones I got.
Looks like you can get 3 for $16 if you have ebay plus:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Strontium-16GB-Nitro-MicroSD-3-P…Yeah, I reckon they cost cents to make, it's the shipping and labour etc that would be the cost.
Couple of weeks ago 16gb Sandisk Ultras were $5 at HN and OW. 3 years ago 8gb for $4 was the sweetspot. They are cheapest when the size is being dumped. Ship has probably sailed for 4gb.
I think it costs as much to make a 16gb or 32gb card now as a 4gb or 8gb, so you will likely only find older stock. That means it is a bit of a lottery whether it is discounted enough to meet your needs.
I got a 3 pack of 16gb cards on here not long ago fairly cheaply, but haven't seen such a deal very often.
