MicroSD Express cards promise users faster speeds, which means faster save and load times as great news for gamers. But will they work with the Nintendo Switch?
After being introduced almost five years ago, microSD Express cards look to be finally making their way to the marketplace. Samsung recently announced that it has been working with microSD Express cards that have read speeds of up to 800 megabytes per second. Although their theoretical speed is 985 megabytes per second, that is still an incredibly impressive read speed. For comparison, Samsung’s current PRO Ultimate microSD card boasts 200 megabytes per second, and that is the fastest speed the company offers. Getting a card that is four times the speed will be a massive time saver for reading, saving, and loading.
Currently, Samsung has only announced plans for microSD Express cards to be in 256 GB models, but that is still a good size for something that powerful.
