What SD Card To Buy - Nintendo Switch Guide

I'm upgrading from 128 to 512 GB and this video is just what I needed to make sure that I ordered the right card. Thank you.

Sandisk extreme is cheaper than the nintendo licensed sandisk sd card. It’s overkill but the sandisk ultra which is even more affordable seems is always out of stock. Sandisk ultra is probably the best value for the switch from sandisk if you could find the 512 available

When you're choosing a micro SD card for a game console or a phone, it's important to look at something called IOPS, not just the linear writing speed. Why? Because consoles like the Nintendo Switch often need to quickly access many small files during game loading and gameplay, not just read or write big chunks of data in a straight line. The key is to look for SD cards with an 'A2' rating. This A2 rating shows that the card is really good at this quick accessing of small files. It's usually the case that these A2 cards also have something called UHS Speed Class and Video Speed Class ratings, but don't worry about these too much. In simple terms: when you're shopping for a new SD card, focus on finding an A2 card from a brand you trust. That's the best way to make sure your games load and run smoothly.

Just barely upgraded to 256GB, it feels so good to install games without having to archive anything

Thanks for taking the time to explain this to someone just starting out in the gaming world . You made this ( so easy) not as intimidating as I expected it to be. 💜

Perfect - got an oled switch today & was looking for SD cards. This was extremely helpful!

Hey, dude. I just ran out of space on my 256 GB card, and haven't had to get a new card in probably 3 years so I found this video because I wanted to see if anything had changed since then. This video was excellent. Honestly, keep up the good work. 8 minutes and you covered everything. Awesome job.

Just ordered my switch oled and your videos helped me a lot. Thanks for that 👍

Very helpful I was going for the sandisk extreme to be fancy didn’t know what was different until I saw this video thanks

Thank you so much dude I really appreciate it I didn’t know which type of sd card I should get until I came across your video thank you so much 😊 👍👍

ty so much for this :D i have a switch lite and had no idea what sd card to buy or what they do. tyy

thanks man I just bought a switch earlier exactly the video I was finding

Great video! This is excellent information. Thank you my guy.

Does the Switch OLED have the same read/write max limits as the older switch models or can it handle higher speeds? Great videos btw really appreciate them!

I got the gigastone 512 gaming micro SD. It's spot on with the specs of the switch. 100 mb/s read and 60 mb/s write. And it was only $55, well its discounted by 27%. And that's not including sales tax.

Thank you so much, this video was very helpful. I just ordered a Nintendo Switch.

Very professional channel keep up the good work friend. You’ll be at 1 million subs before you know it.

Great video. Been wondering what Brad og micro sd card to get for my Switch Lite, this waa a great help.

Thanks so much for this, switched over to a 256gb sd card with no problem
