The 512GB Samsung P9 microSD Express card is currently 33% off, dropping to $80 from $120. This deal arrives as component prices remain high, making storage discounts scarce. It's a significantly better value than buying directly from Nintendo, offering ample space for the Switch 2's growing game library.

This card boasts transfer speeds up to 800MB/s, which accelerates moving large game files. However, actual load times for games on the Switch 2 are similar across any microSD Express card, as performance is bottlenecked by the console's internal reader. The format is still new, with limited options on the market.

Beyond the Switch 2, the P9 is also compatible with the Steam Deck and other devices using the microSD Express standard. Its inclusion on Engadget's best microSD cards list underscores its reliability for gaming. With few alternatives available, this sale presents a timely opportunity for Switch 2 owners needing expansion.
