Looking to upgrade the storage capacity of your Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or ASUS ROG Ally? Here's a great deal on a very well-rated Samsung memory card with your choice of two different capacities. Samsung has the 512GB Samsung Pro Plus Micro SDXC card for $29.99 and the 256GB model for $19.
99. A compact USB card reader is also included and you get free shipping on any order with no minimum purchase. Samsung is one of the most highly recommended memory card brands and the Pro Plus model is faster than most Micro SDXC cards, especially at this price point.
Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck compatible If you've started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch's base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, some of it reserved for the OS. For example, Tears of the Kingdom takes up 16GB of space and Breath of the Wild about 13.
5GB. If bought digitally, those two games alone would take up all of your internal storage on the OG Switch console. There's only one memory card expansion slot in the Switch so you'll want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford, although most people won't need more than 512GB of additional storage.
The Samsung Pro Plus is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard, including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. The Pro Plus is a faster than average Micro SDXC card with a speed rating of U3 / A2 / V30. In terms of actual numbers, it boasts up to 180MBps sustained read speeds and 130MBps sustained write speeds.
Besides pairing well with your gaming handheld, this card would be an ideal candidate for devices that need fast and high-capacity transfers, like a 4K DSLR or action camera. The included USB card reader makes it easy to transfer files to your PC, even if you don't have an available data transfer cable.
