USB Card Reader Included### Samsung Pro Plus 512GB Micro SDXC Card

2$83.99 save 64%$29.99 at AmazonThe Samsung Pro Plus is designed to work seamlessly with any device that supports the Micro SDXC card standard, including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. With a speed rating of U3 / A2 / V30, this card delivers up to 180MBps read speeds and 130MBps write speeds, making it ideal for high-capacity and fast data transfers on devices like 4K DSLRs, action cameras, or gaming handhelds. The included USB card reader simplifies transferring files to your PC, even if you don't have a data transfer cable on hand.

This card is perfect for the Nintendo Switch, which only offers 32GB of internal storage for the original model and 64GB for the OLED version, with some space reserved for the operating system. For context, games like "Tears of the Kingdom" require 16GB, while "Breath of the Wild" needs about 13.5GB. If purchased digitally, these two games alone would fill the entire internal storage of the original Switch. Given that the Switch has only one memory card slot, opting for the largest card within your budget is wise, though 512GB should suffice for most users.

Is this memory card compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2?

Unfortunately, this card is not compatible with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which requires the newer Micro SD Express cards to leverage the higher speeds the new console supports. If you're specifically seeking a memory card for the Switch 2, MicroSD Express cards are available, albeit from a limited selection of brands and at a higher cost than traditional Micro SD cards. While standard Micro SD cards top out at 104 MB/s with the UHS-I interface, MicroSD Express cards can reach speeds of up to 985 MB/s using PCIe and NVMe technology.
