If you thought a 1TB Micro SD card was big, think again. Amazon currently has a massive SanDisk Ultra 1.5TB Micro SDXC Card for only $87.99 exclusively for Amazon Prime members. This is the first time we’ve seen a 1.5TB Micro SDXC card drop below the $100 price point, and it’s fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ASUS ROG Ally portable handhelds.
1.5TB Micro SDXC Card (Switch Compatible) for $87.99
Amazon Prime member exclusive deal
If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. The Switch and Switch OLED consoles have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, with some of it reserved for the OS. The Legend of 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.
The SanDisk Ultra Micro SDXC card is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard. That includes the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, any recently released smartphone that supports expandable memory, GoPros, cameras and much more. It has a UHS-1 A1 rating and supports read speeds of up to 150MB/s. That means it’s not the fastest memory card out there; you might want to consider the SanDisk Extreme if you need the faster speed. But most mainstream devices like the Nintendo Switch can only output UHS-1 speeds anyways; a faster card would simply be throttled.
