SanDisk Ultra 1TB microSDXC Memory Card + SD Adapter with A1 App Performance Up to 120 MB/s, Class 10, U1

Product Information

Only Nintendo gets a teeny-tiny percentage of a profit margin on those Switch-specific Micro SD cards that Sandisk is bringing out, but that is so insignificant, that it might as well be neglected. 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.

BTW, I've been reading your posts waaaaaay too long as a lurker here. Twice today I actually typed "Nitneod" 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. 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. Approximations: Results and Full HD (1920x1080) video support may vary based on host device, file attributes, and other factors.

Great for Capturing 4K UHD Video.

If someone is just brand loyal though the Sandisk Ultra and UltraPro are solid choices too. But the runner up went to that very Lexar 633x card you put into your story. Yes, I do know, but that is only true in general. Here, the actual truth is different. Both Nintendo and the third party publishers/developers stand to gain absolutely nothing from gamers having to constantly buy extra storage. With discs, you can only do this with re-writable media, which is of course never used in consoles. And even if it is, then it will only be used by developers, for testing purposes. True enough that it got no AAA games, but even the launch games had modest size patches (AC3, AC3.5, Mass Effect, Batman, etc.) The 7-14+GB patches on Sony are like they're sending it uncompressed. How do you have a patch that's BIGGER than all of BotW? I swear they just update archive files and push the whole thing rather than just sending the delta. It's an absurd system, and I truly can't see that flying on a largely portable system where metered hotspot use will probably be highly used. Even with "unlimited" data they limit hotspotting to a few gig. A few gig for a patch, sure. 7-15GB? No. (EA habits aside, if your patch is larger than other similarly sized entire games, something is wrong with your release process.)

And the customer is a much happier one as well, for getting a more complete product, and not having to continuously invest in larger SD cards, almost every time they buy another third party game, which in turn might even persuade quite a lot of them to start buying more third party games, finally eradicating the whole "not enough third party games on a Nintendo platform" problem...

A detailed overview of flash and flash management (August 2018): https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/western-digital/collateral/white-paper/white-paper-sandisk-flash101-management.pdf 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 Rated A1 3, the SanDisk Ultra® microSD™ card is optimized for apps usage. It delivers faster app launch and overall app usage performance that in turn provides a better smartphone experience.NinNin Good to have that perspective of you being a developer, makes your point of view a little bit clearer, but to elaborate on it: I don't mean that developers should be forbidden to do things or told what to do (we'll leave that to the bigger publishers like EA) but more like both parties investing time AND some money in a better compromise, meet each other halfway, so to speak. SanDisk cards are compatible with Android smartphones and tablets. Capture and Store Even More Hours of Full HD Video. Glad I'm waiting until Christmas, I predict at least 3 firmware updates that make improvements by then. Though it does look god so far, much better than 3DS or Wii U at launch. I just need time to wrap my head around the whole hybrid idea and how that's going to work w/ myself and 2 teenage sons. 3DS is easy, they each have their own, Wii U, PS4 are mine, Wii is in my sons room w/ his NES Mini and my old Atari 7800. Not sure what to do w/ a hybrid and 3 gamers.

DLC for MK, Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade etc, file size wise were never terribly huge. That might really be the difference, and I hope it is, that Sony pushes every updated archive file while Nintendo pushes only the delta to save bandwidth. Shame on Sony if that's the case. 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.

Hmm, I'll trust your opinion on this since it sounds like you're much more knowledgeable on the subject than I am.

So, in the end, it seems to me that this would be good for all parties. And after all: the customer is king, so more should be done to keep them satisfied (and keep them buying your products). A happy customer will tell 3 to 5 others, but an unhappy customer will tell at least 10 people, and nowadays even the world, especially with social media and so on. The pricing on the NS isn't going to change much over time, nor will the performance of the built-in flash chips, while the price/performance ratio on SD cards will fluctuate dramatically over the next few years. Nintendo made the right decision in this regard at least, not falling for using psychological mind games to entice their customers towards the hardware itself. Those who use their heads will find the best values for increasing storage size and speeds. So, is this ADDED to the internal 32GB, or does it turn it off like on Wii U? (I'm pretty sure my 12GB PS3 Superslim turned off the 12GB when I installed an 80GB drive in there as well.) We all know of the troubles with Wii U storage. So, if you buy a 64GB card, do you then have 96GB or only 64GB? A 64GB card might be enough for awhile if they work together, but not if 32GB gets turned off like on Wii U. Such a pain that was. 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? 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...

Fast for better pictures, app performance and Full HD video.
