New low/$59

As part of the ongoing Labor Day sale, Amazon is now offering SanDisk’s 256GB Express microSD card for $58.99 shipped. This is one of the first Express cards that debuted alongside the Switch 2 console carrying a $75 price tag. Today’s deal delivers a 21% markdown to take $16 off its usual going rate. It’s now going for a touch less than its previous all-time low of $59, making this a great time to snag and double your Switch 2’s storage. Head below for more details.

The SanDisk 256GB Express microSD card is fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, giving you a solid chunk of extra storage for expanding your game library. This particular model supports read speeds of up to 880MB/s and write speeds of up to 650MB/s on compatible hardware, making it considerably faster than standard microSD cards. It’s also backward compatible with devices that accept regular microSD storage, though you’ll only get the higher Express speeds when using supported hardware like the Switch 2.
