Samsung MicroSD Express card for Nintendo Switch 2 is about pre -orders

The officially licensed MicroSD express card from Samsung can reach speeds of up to 800 MB/s.

To be honest, the price of $ 60 is a surprise when you consider how expensive brands -microSD cards for games tend to be listed in comparison to regular editions. Although not officially confirmed, we expect the Nintendo brand card to offer the same performance as the regular model.

It is still possible that the regular 256 -GB -microSD express card from Samsung is available for less than 60 US dollars in retail. However, this brand option actually has a lower RRP than the already available SanDisk 256 -GB -MicroSD express card.

Sandisk currently produces 128 GB and 256 GB models of its MicroSD Express cards.

The Nintendo branded versions of Sandisks MicroSD Express cards have not yet been listed online. It is therefore unclear whether they are sold at the same prices. When we originally published this story, we theorized that the brand cards would cost more. The Nintendo cards from Sandisk for the original switch have higher prices than non-brand editions. However, this could change with Switch 2, as the price of the 256 GB card from Samsung in Super Mario shows.

At the moment it seems that Sandisk Nintendo versions of his two MicroSD will publish express offers. It remains to be seen whether SanDisk cards with more (or less) storage space receive the Nintendo treatment.

Sandisk MicroSd Express cards are much faster than the ultra and extreme cards that are popular picks for expanding the memory on the original switch.

With Express technology, Sandisk’s cards offer reading speeds of up to 880 MB/s, writing speeds of 650 MB/s and persistent writing speeds of 210 MB/s. For comparison, the SanDisk Ultra is rated for 150 MB/s reading speeds, and the extreme can achieve 190 MB/s.

Express cards are essentially solid-state drives that can fit on your fingertip. In fact, this card is actually faster than the average SSD.

If you want to make your Switch 2 storage space future-proof, Lexar is the only large manufacturer with MicroSD Express cards from more than 256 GB.

Lexars Express Play Pro cards started in three different capacities in March: 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB. The 256 GB costs $ 50, the $ 512 GB ($ 100) and the 1 TB is usually reset $ 200. Half of the price of the Switch 2-console, but it is available for $ 172.63 from Amazon.

As the SanDisk Express, who debut last year, the cards from Lexar offer bladder speeds. According to Lexar, his Microsd Express Play Pro 900 MB/S can reach reading speeds and 600 MB/s writing speeds.

All three models are sold out several times this month and are subject to wide delivery windows that fluctuate from day by day.

Gamestop has its own accessories for Nintendo Switch 2, including MicroSD Express cards that can reach speeds of 800 MB/s, according to Gamestop.

Gamestops Switch 2 accessories are not Officially licensed by Nintendo and is not known which memory manufacturer these cards have created. However, Gamestop has clearly decided to benefit from increased interest rates last week, since the previously reasonable price points for the three cards have disappeared.

The MicroSD express cards from Gamestop now cost more than a few cards from large manufacturers. It would therefore be advisable to avoid it unless it is your only option. The 256 GB version changed from $ 50 to $ 70, which is rather inexplicable when you consider that they can receive a SanDisk card for $ 60.

The 512 GB Edition started at 85 US dollars and has risen to $ 100 (the same price as Lexar) since then. After all, the 1 TB model, which cost only $ 150 last week, now costs $ 190 close to the price fees.

When it comes to memory and memory, it is generally a good idea to choose well -known brands with an established reputation. Therefore, the decision for a card with unknown origin can be seen as a gambling. This is twice applicable if it is increased in the eye increase price.

The microSD express cards from GameStop can pre-order in addition to the wearing bags, the controller handle and even a USB-C hub. This is the first “dock” of third -party providers to be marketed for Switch.

Gamestops Switch 2 Accessories start on the same day as the console on June 5.
