Samsung’s Switch 2-ready MicroSD Express card is on sale for less than $50

Running out of space on your Nintendo Switch 2? Thankfully, Samsung’s P 9 MicroSD Express card is discounted at multiple retailers, with the 256 GB version going for $47. 99 (Amazon, B&H Photo) and the 512 GB version $99 (Amazon, B&H Photo). The smaller card typically sells for around $80, and the larger option usually sells between $150 and $200, though both are higher than their original launch prices, likely because of the ongoing memory shortage.

Samsung P 9 microSD Express Card The P 9 is great if you need more storage for your Nintendo Switch 2. The microSD Express card offers sequential read speeds of up to 800 MB/s, but only gadgets with a microSD Express card slot can take full advantage of the highest speeds.

That includes certain cameras, tablets, and drones with a microSD USH-I slot. Where to Buy: $74. 99 $47. 99 at Amazon (256 GB) $149. 99 $99 at Amazon (512 GB) $74. 99 $47. 99 at B&H Photo (256 GB) First-party Switch 2 games generally run between 10 and 30 gigabytes each — the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is 27 GB, for example — while third-party games can take up even more space (Cyberpunk 2077 is 60 GB).

Until recently, the Switch 2 was one of the few devices that could take advantage of the faster MicroSD Express standard, but this year’s Asus ROG Ally X 20 also added support for MicroSD Express. While expensive, the latter is an impressive gaming handheld that runs Windows 11, giving it a versatility that’s hard to find elsewhere.
