SanDisk microSD cards in Kenya

Mascom International carries 22 SanDisk microSD cards, priced from KSh 2,150 to KSh 25,000 in November 2026. The Extreme PRO range sells fastest. The SanDisk Extreme PRO microSD Card 256GB at KSh 9,500 is our most viewed card. It reads at up to 200MB/s and carries a V30 rating for 4K drones, action cameras and phones. The SanDisk Extreme PRO microSD Card 128GB costs KSh 6,400.

For a budget Android phone, the SanDisk Ultra GO microSD Card 128GB costs KSh 3,300. Matatu dashcams and shop CCTV recorders need the SanDisk High Endurance microSD Card 64GB at KSh 3,700, built for nonstop recording. The SanDisk microSD Express Card 256GB at KSh 10,350 reads at up to 880MB/s. The trade-off: pay for it only if your device supports microSD Express, as the Nintendo Switch 2 does.

Mascom International stocks 11 full-size SanDisk SD cards, from KSh 2,500 to KSh 14,500 in November 2026.

The SanDisk Extreme PRO SD Card 256GB costs KSh 11,000, enough for a full day of shooting. Both read at up to 200MB/s with a V30 rating, so 4K video records without dropped frames. The SanDisk Extreme PRO SD Card 512GB at KSh 14,500 suits multi-day events. The SanDisk Ultra SD Card 128GB at KSh 4,000 is the cheaper choice for Full HD and family cameras. Its trade-off is a Class 10 rating, so 4K shooters should stay with Extreme PRO. Every card in both formats sits in the Memory Cards category.

SanDisk flash drives in Kenya

Mascom International has 26 SanDisk flash drives, from KSh 1,340 to KSh 10,400 in November 2026.

The metal SanDisk Ultra Flair 256GB costs KSh 5,800 and suits students carrying a semester of lecture videos.

Its trade-off is a plastic USB 2.0 body, slow for big video files. The full range is in the Flash Disks category.

Are SanDisk and WD the same company?

SanDisk and WD are now two separate companies with a shared history. Western Digital bought SanDisk on 12 May 2016. On 21 February 2025, Western Digital completed the separation of its flash business, and SanDisk began trading on Nasdaq as SNDK. Western Digital kept the hard drive business. SanDisk kept flash storage, including the SSDs sold as WD_BLACK and WD Blue.

In January 2026 SanDisk began renaming those drives as SanDisk Optimus. The WD Blue SN5100 became the Optimus 5100, and the WD_BLACK SN7100 became the Optimus GX 7100. That is why our site lists two brands. The Western Digital WD brand page holds hard drives, such as the WD My Passport 2TB at KSh 10,000 and the WD Purple 2TB CCTV drive at KSh 10,000. It also holds remaining WD-labelled SSDs like the WD_BLACK SN7100 1TB at KSh 24,500, which SanDisk makes. The simple rule: spinning hard drives are WD; cards, flash drives and new SSDs are SanDisk.

Why are SanDisk prices rising in Kenya?

SanDisk prices in Kenya keep rising because flash memory is in global shortage. AI data centres are buying NAND flash, the chip inside every card, flash drive and SSD. SanDisk raised its NAND contract prices by about half in November 2025. TrendForce reports that SanDisk expects undersupply through the end of 2026, with tight supply into 2027. At Mascom International, we've seen SanDisk prices go up in steps since November 2025, and some sizes run short between shipments. Our advice: buy the capacity you need when it is on the shelf.

Which SanDisk product do you need?

Match the SanDisk product to the device and the job. A phone, drone or action camera takes a microSD card; choose Extreme PRO for 4K video and Ultra GO for photos and apps. A DSLR or mirrorless camera takes a full-size SD card, and Extreme PRO handles event video. Dashcams in matatus and CCTV kits in shops need High Endurance cards, because ordinary cards wear out under nonstop recording.

For passing documents between office and cyber café computers, a metal Ultra Luxe or Ultra Flair flash drive lasts longest. For phone-to-laptop transfers, pick a Dual Drive. For backing up a laptop before KPLC cuts or moving large video projects, a portable SSD is faster and sturdier. If you run a CCTV recorder or want several terabytes for little money, a WD hard drive fits better than any SanDisk product.
