    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

    @evgeniibeliatinskikh7481 Před rokem +123

    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.

    • @OddYDaPiMp

      What is the difference between a1 and a2?

    • @evgeniibeliatinskikh7481
      @evgeniibeliatinskikh7481 Před 7 měsíci +12

      @OddYDaPiMp, the main difference between A1 and A2 is their ability to handle small data. A1 can handle 1,500 reads and 500 writes per second, while A2 can handle 4,000 reads and 2,000 writes. For devices like phones or the Nintendo Switch, where you load a game or read/write small data during gameplay, this matters. It helps reduce any possible lag. But it shouldn't impact the gaming experience unless the SD card is extremely slow or faulty.
      Cards not labeled A1 or A2? They often fall behind the A1 in terms of performance. Both A1 and A2 cards typically offer fast continuous reading and writing speeds. So, A1 or A2 cards are a good choice unless you have specific needs like high-definition video recording.
      For the Nintendo Switch, some games might load a bit faster on an A1 or A2 card, maybe by 1-15 seconds. But it's always good to check game-specific tests before deciding to upgrade. The real benefit is seen when transferring a lot of data. If you're moving data between the Switch and the SD card or making backups, you could save a lot of time with an A1 or A2 card, maybe around 20 minutes or even an hour.
      In my area, the price difference between A1 and A2 cards isn't much. I usually go for the better one for a smoother experience, especially for backups. However, if you have a large SD card for your Switch and rarely transfer files, you're likely okay with what you have.

    • @evgeniibeliatinskikh7481
      @evgeniibeliatinskikh7481 Před 6 měsíci +4

      ​@@ParanoiaGentlman, in some sense, yes. A SanDisk 512GB Nintendo-branded card costs around €80-100, while a slightly faster Samsung Evo of the same size costs €35-40. If you don't get a Nintendo-branded card for free or as a bonus with a Switch purchase, then it's definitely a better option to buy just any other A2 class card from the shelf.

    I bought my switch and a 128 gb memory card cause I wanted to play breath of the wild. But I didn’t want to spend 360 bucks for a switch and Zelda. So i went to get one and they just stocked I didn’t think I would need a bigger memory card since I like to have physical games well covid hit so I got a 512gb the first one died after a year my second one was great but I bought to many games it was at the point of having 2- 512gb memory cards or buy a 1 tb. Since they became affordable I got a sandisk for 90 bucks so that’s what I am using I have 250 gb left to buy some more games

      SanDisk isn't an off brand, it's one of/the leading brand in SD cards. The Nintendo cards are actually made by SanDisk, they just cost more because you're paying for the Nintendo logo on it. Glad yours is going strong and I'm sure Switch 2 will take microSD cards too but maybe the after A2 cards for better performance.
