Nintendo Switch Licensed microSDXC

This SanDisk microSDXC card carries the official Nintendo Switch licence and delivers 512GB of extra storage. It uses the UHS-I interface with read speeds up to 100MB/s and write speeds up to 90MB/s. The card is designed, tested and approved for the console.

Ideal for Switch owners needing one card

Players who want a single card to hold multiple games, screenshots and videos will benefit from the licensed compatibility and stated speeds. Users who require UHS-II performance or sustained write ratings beyond UHS-I should look at a different specification.

UHS-I speed class rating

The decisive specification is the UHS-I speed class, which sets the maximum transfer ceiling at 100MB/s read and 90MB/s write. This determines whether the card meets the performance needs of a particular recording or gaming workload.

Questions about this item

Does the 512GB microSDXC card generate noticeable heat or noise when used continuously in a Nintendo Switch?

The card has no moving parts and draws minimal power, so it runs silently and stays cool during extended gaming sessions.

What device or adapter must I already have to use this 512GB microSDXC card?

You need a Nintendo Switch console with a microSDXC slot, which all Switch models include.

Will this 512GB microSDXC card work at its rated 100MB/s read speed in an older microSDHC-only reader?

The card is backward compatible but will be limited to the reader's maximum speed, which is lower than the card's 100MB/s rating.
