Amazon drops Nintendo Switch 2 microSD memory cards down to pennies per GB in New Year sales
"There is also no performance catch here. This is not a no-name memory card with a suspiciously low price and even more suspicious reviews. We have already reviewed this exact Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card, and it comes with a strong recommendation. Load times stay snappy, downloads do not crawl, and it behaves exactly as you would want storage designed for Nintendo's new hardware to behave."
"It is also worth stressing, because someone always tries it, the Switch 2 only supports MicroSD Express cards. That old MicroSD card you pulled out of your original Switch will not work for storing games here, no matter how much you wish it would. While they look nearly identical, MicroSD Express cards are on a completely different level, with speeds of up to 800MB/s."
Nintendo Switch 2 ships with 256GB of onboard space, which can fill quickly after installing several first-party and third-party games. Amazon currently offers a 256GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card for $34.99, a lower price than the previous $39.99 Cyber Monday sale. The Samsung P9 MicroSD Express delivers strong performance in reviews, keeping load times snappy and downloads fast. Switch 2 requires MicroSD Express cards; older standard MicroSD cards are incompatible for game storage. MicroSD Express cards can reach up to 800MB/s, while most standard MicroSD cards struggle to exceed 200MB/s. This discount effectively doubles usable storage for a modest cost.
