Samsung's P9 MicroSD Express card is currently available at a discounted price of $47.99 for the 256GB version, a notable reduction from its typical retail price of around $80. This discount is being offered by multiple retailers, including B&H Photo and Amazon. The 512GB version is also on sale for $99, although it usually retails between $150 and $200. This price fluctuation is attributed to an ongoing memory shortage affecting the market.
Storage Needs for the Nintendo Switch 2
As gaming titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 can range from 10GB to 60GB, the demand for additional storage is significant. For instance, the upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is expected to require 27GB, while third-party titles like Cyberpunk 2077 may demand as much as 60GB. This makes the P9 MicroSD Express card a practical choice for gamers looking to expand their storage capacity.
MicroSD Express Standard Adoption
Initially, the Switch 2 was one of the few devices to support the MicroSD Express standard, which offers faster data transfer rates compared to traditional microSD cards. However, the recent introduction of the Asus ROG Ally X20, a gaming handheld running Windows 11, has also embraced this standard, indicating a growing trend in the gaming industry towards faster storage solutions.
