It\u2019s cheaper than other microSD cards, and it\u2019s an even better value right now, with the 512GB version <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FT995SPF\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">priced at $79.99 ($40 off)<\/a> \u2014 just $5 shy of its best price to date. You can alternatively buy the 256GB model for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FT99KCV8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$39.99 ($15 off) at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Samsung P9 microSD Express Card<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/samsungpn9.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Express-microSDXC-Nintendo-Switch-AM\/dp\/B0FT99KCV8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$54.99<\/strike> $39.99 at <strong>Amazon (256GB)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1924975-REG\/samsung_mb_mk256t_am_256gb_p9_microsd_express.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$54.99<\/strike> $39.99 at <strong>B&amp;H Photo (256GB)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Express-microSDXC-Nintendo-Switch-AM\/dp\/B0FT995SPF\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$99.99<\/strike> $79.99 at <strong>Amazon (512GB)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While the Switch 2\u2019s 256GB internal storage is enough for most first-party Nintendo games, just one or two large downloads can quickly eat up space. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/9\/20\/23881536\/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-update-2-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a>, for example, takes up 59GB, while <em>Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade<\/em> on Switch 2 is a 93GB download \u2014 meaning that buying both would use up over half of the console\u2019s internal storage.\u00a0Many third-party games eat up dozens of gigabytes each as well, which means it\u2019s only a matter of time before that 256GB fills up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That\u2019s what makes Samsung\u2019s P9 a smart investment. It gives you the flexibility to grow your digital library, and it\u2019s built to handle the Switch 2\u2019s faster storage speeds \u2014 so you can add games without noticeably affecting performance. All in all, it\u2019s a great buy if you want to avoid running out of space as your Switch 2 library grows. And as a bonus, you can also use it with other compatible devices \u2014 including some cameras, tablets, and drones that support microSD cards.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung\u2019s P9 microSD Express card is a relatively affordable way to upgrade Switch 2 storage.
