Gaming Plus 256GB microSDXC card

The Gigastone Gaming Plus is a 256GB microSDXC memory card rated for read speeds up to 100MB/s and write speeds up to 60MB/s. It carries A1, Class 10, U3, UHS-I and V30 speed ratings. The card is built to be waterproof, shockproof, temperature-proof and X-ray proof.

Handheld gamers and 4K video creators

The A1 rating helps with fast game loading on consoles such as the Nintendo Switch, while the V30 rating supports 4K video recording on action cameras, dash cams and security cameras. Users who need sustained write speeds beyond V30 or who require UHS-II performance will not be served by this card.

A1 and V30 speed ratings decide fit

The combined A1 and V30 ratings determine whether the card can handle both random access for game data and continuous 4K video capture. If your device demands a higher video speed class or UHS-II bus speeds, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the 256GB microSDXC card fit a standard microSD slot without an adapter?

Yes, the card is a microSDXC form factor and inserts directly into any microSD slot; no adapter is needed.

What is the correct way to insert the card into a Nintendo Switch, and what step do users often miss?

Power off the console, open the kickstand, insert the card label-side up until it clicks, then power on and format in System Settings if prompted.

How do I know when the Gaming Plus card should be replaced?

Replace the card if read speeds drop well below 100MB/s, write speeds fall under 60MB/s, or the device reports frequent read/write errors.
