Samsung Has a 512GB Nintendo Switch Memory Card (Micro SDXC) for Only $29.99

If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, some of it reserved for the OS. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom uses up 16GB and Breath of the Wild about 13.5GB. If bought digitally, those two games alone would take up all of your internal storage on the OG Switch console. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford, although very few people will need more than 1TB of storage.

The Samsung Pro Plus series of Micro SDXC cards are compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard. That includes the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. The Pro Plus is a faster than average Micro SDXC card with a speed rating of U3 / A2 / V30. In terms of actual numbers, the Pro Plus boasts up to 180MBps sustained read speeds and up to 130MBps sustained write speeds. Besides pairing well with your gaming handheld, this card would be an ideal candidate for devices that need fast and high-capacity transfers, like a 4K DSLR or action camera. A USB card reader is also included to make it easy to transfer files to your PC.
