Buying memory cards (Micro SD cards) for a business, an education department, or a consumer product in South Africa is different than buying a single card for your phone or tablet. Most people default to retail giants, but if you need 100+ units, custom branding, or cards preloaded with specific content and packaging, you need a factory-direct partner.
At Storm Media, we are a manufacturing supplier of all capacities and can offer factory-direct pricing that retail stores simply cannot match.
Why Buy Local? The Storm Media Advantage
When you source your Micro SD cards from a South African manufacturing supplier like us, you skip the "middleman" and the logistical headaches.
Custom Branding & Printing: We can custom brand or print your Micro SD card adapters in bulk to clearly display your company logo or product brand.
Data Preloading (Time-Saving): We can preload your marketing material, training videos, or educational software onto the cards before they ship—saving your team hundreds of hours of manual labor.
Custom Packaging: We supply plastic PP cases to hold both your Micro SD card and SD card adapter securely, perfect for retail or distribution.
The Storm Media Brand: We are the manufacturing suppliers of our own high-quality "Storm Media" brand. It is highly competitive and built to industrial standards.
Capacities and Technical Specs
We stock a full range of capacities to suit everything from simple data storage to 4K video recording:
Available Sizes: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
High-Speed Ratings: Our cards are supplied in speeds of Class 10, U2, and U3 to ensure compatibility with modern cameras, drones, and tablets.
Sourcing from China vs. SA: Avoid the stress of SARS clearances, import duties, and unpredictable shipping delays. We hold stock locally.
Local South African Warranty: If a batch is faulty, you deal with our South African office directly. No overseas shipping is required for returns.
The Verdict: If you are a school, government department, or tech manufacturer in Johannesburg, Durban, or Cape Town, buying factory-direct locally is the only way to scale cost-effectively.
