I'm looking for SD Cards for the Switch 2. Maybe a 512GB but I don't know which ones are compatible.

I'll eat half your piece of cake. How bout it?

 

[amigastar]

As far as i know SanDisk cards are pretty reliable, at least for me i never had problems with SanDisk.
Infact my SanDisk external SSD is with it's 1000mb/s extremely fast.
Also I would avoid buying cheap Chinese sd cards, i bought those chinese usb sticks with 1 TB and they all produced an error after some time.

This is the one you want.

Best price to performance ratio seems to be the Onn (Walmart store brand) cards, if you're in the US

That has to be a rebrand of some cheap Chinese vendor.

Otherwise Sandisk or Lexar seem to be decent.

Actually, these are rebranded Lexar cards.

Ahh, that's a pretty good price then, no question. There are also Nintendo branded ones which I want to say are Sandisk, but I could be wrong.

I think the Switch 2 ones are Samsung. Switch 1 were Sandisk.

I bought the Samsung P9 and it has been good. It's a little slower than the Sandisk, but it has about 20GB more usable storage for the 512GB model.

S deez nuts

Yeah, I think Sandisk, Samsung and Lexar are fine. Everything else is a bit of a ???

 

[Loomy]

Doesn't the Switch limit the transfer rate of SD cards like every other console?

Any one of these you're good.

I have some straight up fraudulent cards here lol.

 

[danklord]

I got this PNY card and it's been perfect

 

[Codes 208]

I shouldve bought mine from work (walmart) so that I could use my discount on the onn brand.

I ended up buying the gamestop one instead as part of my preorder for like $35 more

Man, the 1TB versions are pricey.

I was hoping to find a cheap one in Japan last year but alas they're expensive worldwide it seems.

Ended up getting mine from the Newegg Christmas door buster deals last year. It's a Patriot brand 256GB card, but it was only $19.99. Hoping it holds out long enough for the 1TB (or larger) cards to come down in price.

The problem I think is that the Switch 2 is the only product on the market that actually supports microsd express, despite the standard being several years old.

 

[Durin]

Any of the Lexar or Sandisk micro sd express cards seem the way to go, and I think Lexar has the biggest one (and their are knockoffs of it).

I'd just love to see when Nintendo announces the inevitable Switch 2 OLED, they go with the newer Mini SSD format being teased at the last CES by companies like Biwin:

Read and write speeds of up to 3700MB/s and 3400MB/s, basically gets close enough to PS5/XSX/PC gen4 nvme ssd speeds in a tiny format.
