Overview
- PNY’s 512GB microSD Express card is available for purchase at Amazon for $99.99, offering a new mid-capacity option.
- The card uses the Switch 2–only microSD Express (PCIe Gen3x1) standard, enabling up to roughly 890 MB/s reads with PNY listing about 500 MB/s writes.
- Adding 512GB roughly triples the Switch 2’s 256GB internal storage, reducing the need to delete games between downloads.
- Rival 512GB cards from Lexar and SanDisk are listed around $112 to $115, while Samsung does not offer a 512GB option yet.
- For maximum space, Lexar’s 1TB Play PRO has reappeared at about $219.99 on Amazon, though availability has fluctuated since launch.
