Samsung's microSD Card Just Got Even Cheaper, A Practically Free Way to Expand Your Switch Storage - Kotaku
"We all know that storage is a hot commodity. Whether it's managing to have enough space on your phone to record new videos and photos or having enough room on your PC or gaming console to download an upcoming title, there never seems to be enough room. That's why when stuff like SSDs, external storage, or MicroSDs go on sale, you pick them up. Right now, the Samsung EVO Select series of memory cards are on sale, going for as much as 26% off."
"For gamers, you can put this in your Nintendo Switch to manage both save data and the storage of the digital games themselves. The launch Nintendo Switch only comes with a measly 32GB. Now thankfully most Nintendo games aren't too big by comparison to Xbox, PlayStation, and third-party AAA titles. Some of those shoot into the triple digits of gigs. One of Nintendo's largest games, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is only 18.2GB. But still, that's more than half your console's storage."
"Important to note: These MicroSD cards are not compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. The new console requires MicroSD Express cards which are faster at reading and writing data. Inserting one of the Samsung EVO Select MicroSD cards into a Nintendo Switch 2 console will not allow you to save or load neither your save data nor any digital games. It is still compatible with the original Nintendo Switch console along with the Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED."
Samsung EVO Select MicroSD cards are available on Amazon at discounts up to 26%, with capacities including 128GB ($13), 256GB ($20), 512GB ($35), and 1TB ($75). The cards provide expanded storage for devices such as phones, PCs, and gaming consoles, and can be used in the original Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED to store both game files and save data. The cards offer read and write speeds up to 160MB/s. The cards are not compatible with Nintendo Switch 2, which requires faster MicroSD Express cards for saving and loading games.
