SanDisk has just unleashed a new Express microSD card that’s officially licensed for the Switch 2. Right now, only the 512GB version is available, priced at $199.99 shipped at Amazon, though SanDisk is currently offering it for $149.99 shipped directly through its online store with a $40 discount. This new card carries the same specifications as the brand’s existing Express microSD model, and you can find more details on it below.
SanDisk’s 512GB officially licensed Express microSD card features:
You’re looking at SanDisk’s new officially licensed Express microSD card designed for the Switch 2, making it the second officially licensed option after Samsung’s model debuted alongside the console last year. For now, this card is only available in a 512GB capacity, though additional sizes are likely on the way, as SanDisk’s store notes availability “in capacities up to 512GB.”
Here’s what SanDisk’s current lineup for Express microSD cards looks like with the addition of this new model:
- All-new officially licensed SanDisk 512GB Switch 2 microSD Express card $150 (Reg. $190)
- SanDisk 256GB microSD Express Card $75
- SanDisk 512GB microSD Express Card $120
Beyond the official licensing, this model carries the same core specifications as SanDisk’s previously released Express microSD card. It offers read speeds of up to 880MB/s and write speeds of up to 650MB/s, along with minimum sustained write speeds of 220MB/s, making it a solid and dependable storage upgrade for the Switch 2. The card features a red finish with the official Switch 2 logo and is backed by a lifetime warranty.
That said, even with the current discount, SanDisk’s standard Express microSD card remains available for less and could be the better value if official licensing isn’t necessarily a priority for you.
