Switch 2 Storage Deal: Get a 512GB Memory Card for $99.99

Amazon is currently offering a 512GB MicroSD Express card from Samsung for $99.99, a significant discount from its usual price of $149.99. This deal is currently the best available for extra storage for the Nintendo Switch 2.

It is essential to note that the Switch 2 is only compatible with microSD Express cards rather than standard microSD cards. The microSD Express cards offer faster read/write speeds that the Switch 2 can fully utilize, making standard microSD cards unsuitable for this device.

As gaming graphics continue to advance, with 4K graphics now the norm, games require more storage space. Given that the Switch 2 only comes with 256GB of built-in storage, and even some physical games necessitate downloads, gamers are bound to run out of space quickly. For example, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth alone occupies nearly 100GB of that storage, and that's just one game.

With the rising costs of computer components due to "RAMageddon," obtaining additional storage for games can be expensive. However, this Amazon deal on a 512GB MicroSD Express card may be a reasonably priced solution. While such deals will likely reappear in the future, it is recommended to seize this offer before Amazon removes the checkout discount.
