MicroSD Express cards are still a little difficult to find, considering they’re fairly new and only really started becoming popular last year after the Switch 2 came out. These upgraded versions of microSD cards are the only ones compatible with the Switch 2 to increase its storage, OS, so it’s worth choosing if you’re already starting to feel the pinch on your console. Samsung’s P9 microSD Express card is on sale right now — you can pick up the 512GB version for $80, which is 33 percent off and one of the best prices we’ve seen.

The P9 has transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, making it very fast to move games to the card. As for load times, in our testing we found that any microSD Express, the standard required for the Switch 2, will provide nearly identical performance. This format is quite new, so there aren’t a lot of cards available on the market. Thus, the P9 belongs on our list of the best microSD cards for Nintendo Switch 2.
The P9 microSD Express is also compatible with Steam Deck or any other gaming console that accepts the format, as well as cameras and more. If you were hoping to spend a little less, the 256GB version of Samsung’s card is on sale for $40, while this 256GB Lexar microSD Express card is on sale for $50.
