SanDisk 1TB Ultra microSDXC card + SD adapter up to 150 MB/s with A1 App Performance UHS-I Class 10 U1

Product Information

We'd recommend going for one of the premium offerings if you can, but it shouldn't make a huge difference for the average user, especially as Switch is currently unable to take advantage of the fastest speeds. All options listed in our guide above are more than suitable for your needs. Should I install all my Switch games on a Micro SD? But even 3rd parties on WiiU, the patches never got that obscene in size. (Perhaps Dimensions notwithstanding.) I think if the Switch only came w/ 4GB like the 3DS, then by all means turn it off, 2GB of that would probably be OS anyway, leaving you w/ 2GB, and you'd find yourself in a horrific PS Vita situation, but I think 32GB is enough that I wouldn't want it to go to waste if I had an old 32GB card from my phone laying around that I could use until prices dropped on larger models. 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. And the facts you keep bringing up aren't really facts. Those comparisons are HIGHLY debatable and factually slanted. You can't compare them 1 to 1 because the market share of the Switch is much smaller.

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.The Sandisk Extreme 1TB is an outlier, a one-of-a-kind, one that will satiate, even temporarily, the thirst for massive storage capacity that a growing audience demands. Professionals that require storage on the go will love the flexibility and the performance of this card; price is likely to be a minor factor in their decision process especially when you factor in the time saved from shuffling lower capacity cards around. While it's true that the speed between even the UHS-1 cards does vary, the differences just aren't noticeable enough to worry about. That's why we've focused purely on the best value for money, as there is a considerably larger difference between the prices of two micro SD cards than there is the speed. What size/capacity Micro SD Card should I buy?

Hmm, I'll trust your opinion on this since it sounds like you're much more knowledgeable on the subject than I am. Make sure it's at least 80mb/s read speed. That seems to be good and make use of the card slot's speed. too much more than 80mb/s, like 90+ is waste as the Switch can't make use of that extra speed. 80MB/s seems to be roughly the most it can handle before you get no more speed boosts from the even faster cards. Even though they're pretty small, I just can't imagine seeing myself taking multiple SD cards with me and having to remember which card contains which game and so on. That would be anything but user-friendly... But are EA and Activision and Ubisoft going to compress everything and have it complete on day 1? I don't think so. That's not the way the modern gaming world works, everything is beta.Most of my drones use microSD cards that usually go flying when I press to spring-release the little buggers from the drone. Granted, if you ask me, I would not recommend getting anything above 128GB with UHS-I, 95 MB/s or less read speed. The reason is because as you have more data needing to be read at any given time, you force the card to work harder as more data needs to be pulled up. Thus, a 200 or 256 GB card with UHS-I will actually be slower than a 128 or 64 GB UHS-I card as that space is further filled. The same holds for laptop users (Windows, Chromebooks or MacBooks) that want an easy and cheap way to increase the internal, local storage capacity without resorting to swapping the solid state drive (and resorting to the dreaded process of disk cloning). Adding 1TB to a laptop with 128GB storage can now be done in seconds! For those looking for an even faster microSDXC card, there’s the Sandisk 1TB Extreme Pro microSDXC card; it is far more expensive but almost doubles the read speeds to 170MBps and is fast enough to record in 8K or for your action camera. You will need a compatible reader to make the most out of it though. Final verdict

You keep bringing up points that are either almost completely false, or at the very least partially flawed/slanted. You'd have to do far better than that to be able to convince me of anything.everything is beta" Yep, that about sums up modern gaming at least 3rd party gaming (increasingly nintendo too, but not quite there yet.) I have all my VC games (aside from Wii) on my internal 32gb storage and everything else on my hard drive. That's not unfair to point out at all, that's how these tech companies operate. Higher memory devices are usually the most cost efficient from manufacture to sale, from a manufacturer's perspective, compared to lower memory devices. It translates into bigger ripoffs from the customer's perspective, so the company has to figure out ways to get customers to accept and buy into it. Thus, it's a good thing Nintendo kept the flash chip costs and size low, to allow customers to bring onboard as much value effectiveness as they want from microSD cards.
