Want to upgrade storage capacity on your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or Asus Rog Ally? Amazon currently offers a high-performance 512GB Samsung Pro Plus Micro SDXC card for just $29.99. A compact USB card reader is also included. Samsung is one of the most highly recommended memory card brands, and the Pro Plus model is faster than most micro SDXC cards, especially at this price range.
512GB Samsung Pro Plus Micro SDXC Card $29.99
Includes a compact USB card reader
The Samsung Pro Plus is compatible with almost any device that accepts micro SDXC card standards, including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and Asus Rog Ally. The Pro Plus is faster than an average micro SDXC card with a speed rating of U3/A2/V30. In terms of actual numbers, it boasts a sustained read speed of up to 180Mbps and a sustained write speed of 130Mbps. This card is an ideal candidate for devices that require high-speed, large-capacity transfers, such as 4K DSLRs and action cameras, such as steam decks and handhelds like Rog Ally. The included USB card reader allows you to easily transfer files to your PC even if there is no available data transfer cable.
This card is also compatible with the Switch Console. The switch and switch OLED have only a few 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, each with some of which only for OS. By comparison, Kingdom Tears breathe with about 13.5GB of wild 16GB. If purchased digitally, these two games alone will cover all the internal storage of the OG Switch console. The switch only has one memory card expansion slot, so most people don’t need more than 512GB of additional storage, but you need to make sure you get the largest card you can afford.
Is this memory card compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2?
Unfortunately, this card is not compatible with future Switch 2. This requires a new Micro SD Express card to take advantage of the high speeds that new consoles can support. If you’re looking for a Switch 2 memory card specifically, you can already order a MicroSD Express card, but there are only a few brands to choose from, and it’s far more expensive than the standard MicroSD card. While traditional microSD cards can use UHS-I interfaces to maximize at 104 MB/s, MicroSD Express cards can use PCIE and NVME technologies to achieve speeds up to 985 MB/s.
