Samsung 512GB microSD Express card Discounted for Switch 2 and Beyond
New York, NY – Samsung’s 512GB P9 microSD Express card is currently available for $94.99 at Amazon after a $5 on-page coupon is applied. The card is compatible with the newly released Nintendo Switch 2, which utilizes microSD express cards for expanded storage, and also works with devices featuring a microSD USH-I slot, including certain cameras, tablets, and drones.
The Switch 2 includes 256GB of internal storage, which might potentially be insufficient for a growing digital game libary. The P9 offers sequential read speeds up to 800MB/s, though only devices with a microSD Express card slot can utilize the full speed. A 256GB model of the P9 is also available at Amazon for its list price of $54.99.
Currently, the Samsung P9 is approximately $20 less expensive than comparable 512GB microSD Express cards. An option option, an Onn-branded card, is available at Walmart for around $85 but frequently enough experiences stock shortages. Game sizes vary considerably; Hyrule Warriors: age of Imprisonment requires 43.4GB, while Silksong needs only 4.1GB. The Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade demands 93GB of storage space.
The increasing prevalence of game-key cards – physical cartridges requiring a digital download - and digitally-released indie titles further underscore the need for expanded storage options for Switch 2 owners and collectors alike.
