If you are like me, you are hungry Switch 2 Belly is already full with a list of launch games combined with your backwards of original switching titles. When an increasing number of Games take 60 GB or more On your new pocket computer, you will want to search for additional storage options. Unfortunately, each option available at the moment costs almost half of what you must already spend on the $ 450 portable console from Nintendo.
The Switch 2 accepts only microSD Express cards, not standard microSD. Express level cards made their debut in 2023 to allow faster writing speeds. For cameras, this meant that the images would take care of the card much faster after pressing the trigger. For games, cards write faster, but they also read more quickly. When games occupy more storage space, be able to load this data faster. Fellow Memory Card Maker Lexar announcement The first microSD Express 1 TB card in April. This card cost $ 200 and had readings of 900 MB / s and 600 MB / s of writing. GameStop Also sells a 1 TB card for $ 190.
Society team group based in the United Kingdom, which manufactures memory cards and SSDs, Abandoned details About its microSD Apex SD7.1 expresses with storage storage of 1 TB. This represents four times the quantity of space you get with the Switch 2, and it seems very attractive until you realize that there is no word at the time it is available and little to refer to what will cost. Team of teams Apex card read and write speeds up to 800 MB / s and 700 MB / s, respectively. Such a card would be technically able to manage 16 60 GB games or 45 games the size of Mario Kart World. These new microSD express cards can connect to older pocket computers, but you will not see the same reading and writing speeds on devices that normally take the microsd base. Old full -size SD cards with the SDXC standard (Digital Secure Extended Capacity) with storage options up to 2 TO max at around 300 MB / s of reading speeds.
You don’t have to look too far in the past to see how the cost could evolve on such a form of flash storage. THE First microSD 1 to De Sandisk cost $ 450 when launch in spring 2019. This is as much as a switch 2 today. Prices slipped quickly once again, the manufacturers jumped on the 1 TB train, and today you can enter the same Sankisk card for less than $ 90. Currently, you can get a 256 GB brand Nintendo Samsung microSD express card With a little Mario “M” for $ 60. An ONN card of 512 GB also costs $ 60, but it’s currently exhausted On sites like Walmart. The price does not change linearly, but with more available cards, the cost of 1 TB express level cards could drop at a relatively fast pace.
Nintendo was very happy to tell the world that switch 2 had eight times the quantity of storage capacity of the original switch. However, everything that means that the pocket computer of the suite has a 256 GB stadium to contain your mountain of games. Games like Street Fighter VI Ask 48.3 GB, while Divided fiction requires a complete 73 GB. What worsens this problem is the number of launch titles that Do not exist on Nintendo’s game cards. Games can be available in three different digital formats: either as a digital download only, as a code in a box, or as a game key card. The latter is a physical card which acts essentially as a code to download the game from the Nintendo eshop. You cannot play the game without the card inserted in the Switch 2.

The older microSD cards have completely different pins configurations, and they are not compatible with the Switch 2. MicroSD Express can use two more modern standards of interfacing with the devices, including PCI Express or NVM Express, which allow faster speeds than the microSD card interface. However, if you install your games on your system, you must first try to fill your internal storage. TIs load speeds on Mario Kart World Show that the game loads three seconds faster thanks to internal storage than via a microSD Express card. The Lexar card with the highest storage space played a catch -up with the smallest Samsung and Sander cards. Last, flash storage on the physical game card. I would sacrifice the loading times slightly faster to have the good to have the games I play, but if you play on Switch 2, you may not have the choice.
