On the second point of why I always need more storage, I blame my love of photography and drones. I take a lot of bird and moon photos, and even though my Sony Alpha a6000 takes standard SD cards, I have a collection of SD-card-sized micro-SD card adapters: you just slide the little card into the big card and use it like any other standard SD ca Blazing transfer speeds lets you offload cards fast. Use with the SanDisk® MobileMate® USB 3.0 microSD™ card reader 6 to achieve up to 150MB/s speeds 2. Get faster app performance for an outstanding smartphone experience thanks to the SanDisk Extreme microSD card’s A2 7Specification.
Approximations: Results and Full HD (1920x1080) video support may vary based on host device, file attributes, and other factors. Capture fast-action photos or shoot 4K UHD video with write speeds of up to 90MB/s. The SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Card lets you shoot more and faster. Great for Capturing 4K UHD Video. It's kind of a given, though, seeing as most HDD's only go up to 1 or 2 MB/s random access read speed, which is important for loading open world games... Just absolutely outdated and abysmal performance for any modern gaming machine. The NS should load smooth as butter by comparison, due to being built to fully utilize flash and solid state memory, normalizing random access read speeds that are 10's of times faster than HDD's. BotW and Skyrim for NS will really show this off.Where it concerns Sandisk's Nintendo Switch-specific Micro SD card line, the potential profit (if any) they can make on that only a small percentage of every card sold (as in 5 to 10), and they only come in two flavors capacity-wise, AND they are more expensive than Sandisk's regular Micro SD cards in the same sizes, so guess which ones will sell better? Talk about niche... Drone operators will also appreciate the fact that it can be operated during extreme weathers and temperatures. Dashcam users may want to consider a memory card with higher endurance like the SanDisk MAX Endurance series which promises to last up to 120,000 hours of recording.
In theory, the Micron C200 is the only competitor to the Sandisk Extreme 1TB; the problem is that there are none available anywhere. Clearly there is a supply issue with Micron and we’re not sure why. Two smaller players (Silicon Power and Integral) have confirmed that they will launch 1TB microSDXC cards in 2020 but unlike Sandisk or Micron, they don’t control the production of the memory chip that goes inside the card. Dakt @JaxonH That's a specs point I've been trying to find for a while now. The UHS-II cards are way, way faster, but they use an extra row of pins to utilize the extra speed. Otherwise, they only use one row, which maxes out at around 95 MB/s read speed. I haven't been able to find anyone who can confirm whether the microSD slot uses one or two rows of pins. For 64GB-1TB: A2 performance is 4000 read IOPS, 2000 write IOPS. For 32GB: A1 performance is 1500 read IOPS, 500 write IOPS. Results may vary based on host device, app type, and other factors. I wouldn't count on Nintendo selling their consoles for a loss, either. Since when have they done that? Besides, Sony is a pretty good example of how to almost destroy your business empire by going too ham on the whole "selling at a loss" tactic...cleveland124 If you're talking about cards, sure, but we're talking about flash memory chips, perhaps NAND flash chips, and we can't be sure on that until we get a teardown going after launch. NAND and other flash chip memory is much more expensive than SD flash memory. Even with manufacturing costs being low, they are typically sold higher corresponding to the higher memory size, especially when it's not removable. The answer? Expand your Switch's memory by getting a great deal on a Micro SD card to store more games. Fortunately, there are plenty of cheap memory upgrade options for Switch in 2023 including mighty 1TB and 1.5TB Micro SD cards that will erase your storage woes for good (the Switch supports cards up to 2TB in size, although they don't actually exist just yet). You can also find fancy cards featuring Nintendo artwork that would make great gifts.
Great Deal
