Need more storage for your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or ASUS ROG Ally? Amazon now sells the high-speed 512GB Samsung Pro Plus Micro SDXC card for only $29.99, complete with a compact USB card reader. Samsung ranks among the top memory card brands, and the Pro Plus model outperforms most Micro SDXC cards at this price.
Comes with compact USB card reader
USB Card Reader IncludedThe Samsung Pro Plus works with nearly any device supporting the Micro SDXC standard, including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ASUS ROG Ally. This card exceeds average Micro SDXC speeds with a U3 / A2 / V30 rating, delivering up to 180MBps read speeds and 130MBps write speeds. It’s perfect for devices requiring fast, high-capacity data transfers, such as 4K DSLRs, action cameras, or gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally. The included USB card reader simplifies file transfers to your PC, even without a data cable.
This card also supports the Nintendo Switch. The Switch and Switch OLED offer just 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, with some reserved for the operating system. For context, Tears of the Kingdom consumes 16GB, and Breath of the Wild uses about 13.5GB. If purchased digitally, these two games could fill the original Switch’s internal storage. With only one memory card slot, choosing a high-capacity card like this 512GB option is wise, though most users won’t need more.
Sadly, this card won’t support the upcoming Switch 2, which requires faster Micro SD Express cards to match the console’s enhanced performance. If you need a Switch 2 memory card, Micro SD Express options are available, but they’re pricier and offered by fewer brands. Standard Micro SD cards, like this one, cap at 104 MB/s via the UHS-I interface, while Micro SD Express cards leverage PCIe and NVMe for speeds up to 985 MB/s.
