As he specifically shills about sandisk who sell overpriced microsd cards.........
are you shading Austin Evans? lmao
Lowlightt Sandisk is known widely for their quality my boy. What other manufacturer do you know that makes sd cards?
@@Lordecai Samsung
@@Lordecai Samsun, Lexar, Kingston, Integral, the list goes on. Sandisk has always been at the top of price platform for SD and MicroSD cards despite not selling the best cards on the market, aka the Sandisk Tax. Now don't get me wrong, there isn't anything technically wrong with them. They work and they are reliable, however you can spend less, get more storage, faster read and write speeds, and have longer life span by buying other brands.

This is the best Starlink review
Definitely straight to the point and detailed.
Nooooo!!!!!!!
Saved me time 👏
Yeah I agree. I bought and never play it thought I would love it 🤷🏽♂️
Does he actually have a review on it? I can't find one, but I'd love to see what his points are. I'm pretty much enjoying Starlink, it has flaws and a repetitiveness factor to it but still, it's very innovative and fun to play, definitely don't think it sucks.
4:00 what is said here can be potentially misleading!
UHS-I is the bus speed, for the UHS-I bus speed you can have U1 and U3 class speeds. Official cards are UHS-I U3.
The SanDisk Extreme Pro tested is an UHS-II card so you will never be able to take advantage of that bus speed on the Switch.
Thanks for the clarification!
You should be on the top.
I have had a 128 gig in my switch for almost 2 years and I still have 40 gigs of free storage. I am half digital and half physical on my switch.
Edit: I just upgraded to a 256 gig.
Can I ask what kind of SD card you are using? I am trying to move games from the internal memory to my SD card but keep getting an error code. Please help
Is the 256 good and what brand ?
@@xopainlife SanDisk is good and yes 256 is good size if you have mostly digital and some physical games. If you're all digital you may want to get slightly larger depending on how many games you have. Hope it helps! SanDisk is brand
@@polar642 thank you man and for now i’m thinking of getting one for sure since i’m most likely buy more digital later on 😁
@@xopainlife Happy to help and Happy Holidays!😊
A simple 64GB SD card is good enough for me, since I mostly buy physical games, and I'm the type of person who prefers the quality over quantity of games. Unlike a good friend of mine who owns over 600 Xbox games but only plays like...1 game lol.
Lol. Me too I'm a physical typa guy
@@p3ter408 Yeah buddy! Plus I like the experience of taking a drive to my local store and purchasing the game there. Sure more people these days are favoring purchases through e-shop, but I still prefer the old-fashioned way. Heck, I still blow on cartridges and clean my CDs to this day, lol.😃✌
And you can also re-selling back
Like my steam, 400++ games, but never touch....
Lol they are probably the free month ones.
Love the sponsor videos, they are creative and you don't have them in every video, thats how it's supposed to be, actually makes me watch them instead of skipping them, keep up the good work :)
I just pre ordered a Nintendo switch lite and I needed to know what kinda card to buy thank you so much for helping I liked this video
I just got a Nintendo Switch and was thinking about SD card types, your video was so helpful. Thank you men.
Oh no, your... your kickstand came off, that’s... how did you manage that...
theyre designed to do that instead of snap off.
this is good design considering its a kickstand, better it just pop off than break during normal use.
the problem is that for a lot of people the kickstand will tend to just come off all the time after a while of use.
Sondrayy thanks for the explanation, was very well aware when writing the initial comment. 🙂
I only use the switch docked anything else is inferior
@@brainmtz1351 so I'm guessing you live alone? I prefer docked but play handheld a lot so my wife can watch TV and not be bored when I play
Brain Mtz not true at all. Games look far crisper on handheld and run smoother too. Both are facts.
Got this for my kids this xmas and needed this info. Thank you for testing these out and helping us out!
I'd watched at least 4 other videos before yours and none of them were as informative! I'm so clued up about which card to get now, thank you! 🙂
In about 2004 I bought a 128 MB SD card for $70...
I bought a 128gb SD card for $18
three days ago
@@austintaylor2958 Where from?
I got my Samsung 128 GB for 7.99 on sale. Regular price 11.99
@@alyeska4226 Yeah it's most likely a fake. It'll get corrupted when you fill it up more than halfway.
@@flameshana9 they get glitchy if I put more than 119 GB of data on then.
The 64gig get glitch with more than 59.95 GB data.
I also have a fake 128. It has a low limit. And it will go past glitch at 80-84 GB and become corrupt, needing a reformat. Once corrupt, only about 12gb of data will be present/accessible with the remainder being ghost bloat. Reformatting works twice.
i got a nintendo sd card off amazon for 128 gb for 26 dollars. it is a great purchase and i love it. i needed more storage.
Great timing. I just bought that same SD card hoping that it was ideal for my Switch. These are the types of thorough videos that I need
Can you use the SD 200 card for other things aswell?
Thanks!!! Big Help trying to figure this out!!!
Really helpful, thank you so much for the links too!!!
Dude. You have saved me so much time and money. Keep putting together these get, well produced videos. You guys are great.
This is something I've been looking into a bunch recently. I did understand that read speed > write speed for Switch considerations but didn't think that the switch had a limited capacity for UHS 2/3. SUPER useful to know, thanks Wulff! Think I can manage until Black Friday as my Switch is new. Good to know that SanDisk should be reliable (though still biased more towards Samsung for...reasons?)
Also +sub.
Same I Prefer Samsung
Wulff, the speed class (u with the 1 or 3 in it) the minimum write speed, thats different from the uhs-1 and uhs-2. Uhs-2 cards actually have another physical row of contacts on the back of the card instead of just the 1 row like normal cards. They recommend the uhs-1 cuz the switch lacks the pins internally to use those extra data channels of the uhs-2 cards. That minimum write speed bit is a totally separate thing, and will also be found on both style cards.
My sister bought me a 32 GB micro SD card for my birthday so I can increase my switch storage, I love my sister to bits but she isn't really tech savvy and I'm gonna need a new SD card fast lmao. Thanks for the SanDisk 200 GB recommendation
200GB can fill up FAST. Within a week I had enough games to fill even a 400GB microSD card, and now I'm having to upgrade to a 1TB
To all those yelling at Bob for expressing his opinion about Starlink, remember, it's just that, an opinion. You don't have to agree with him and he doesn't have to agree with you. So, just leave it be.
Executer 66 it’s a joke he liked it on stream
I know exactly what I'm doing when I say shit like that lol
Executer 66 his name is bob?
WULFF DEN cool name 😎🔥
There's a bit of a difference between expressing an opinion and saying something sucks. He was clearly trying to trigger people
This video was very helpful to me I just got my Switch so I'm trying to figure out what SD card I need thank you.Kinda wish Nintendo had been generous and included a micro SD card like they with the 3DS oh well lol.
I am just upgrading my card and your video just saved me from all the dilemma! Thanks a bunch
Thank you Bob! this was extremely helpful!
“She’s Italian so we have the same beard.”
I’m effing dead.

A very useful guide, thank you!! Now I need to decide between the 200gb or the 128gb ones, since I go half digital and half physical.
Thanks for the information. It's exactly what I needed to know!
Great video thanks for the help! I will be needing a card soon and been asking around..
This provided all I needed to know for my switch 🔄 keep up the good work 👍🎬🎥
Thank you for the breakdown! I was just looking to get an SD Card for my switch and wasnt sure what to get!
Started off with a 32GB card and upgraded to the 200GB card that you had before the 400GB and I doubt I’ll ever fill the 200GB. As always, I loved the video
Very helpful thanks 🙏 😃 watched your other video on settings for your new switch which was also great 👍
Knowing that it has a read cap is really helpful. thank you
MB is megabyte, Bob. Mb is megabit :P 100 Mb is 12.5 MB, which would be very slow.
The video is really missinformed, he assumed that games used full 95MB/s speed, he does not even mention random speed.
In short a sequence is when you are reading one big file size that is when you get the full read speed but games use alot more of random reads that is when a device reads tons of small files, that is when the speed fall.
If people dont understand try to trasfare a movie to a sd card, you get full speed and it will be fast but if you try to transfare lots of photos that have the same file size as a movie the speed will fall really bad
so after taking all that into account, which SD card should I buy?
@@demobot
Well if you wanna the best balance of performace and money I say a Samsung evo plus or a Sandisk Ultra
Thanks. So, I can still follow this video's recommendation. I mean, in terms of using it for the switch.
Man I still get megabit and megabyte mixed up.
I have actually recently needed to get an SD card for my switch. Having gone physical mostly except for some download exclusives. I've finally capped my Switches storage an need to upgrade the space. Thanks for the info and recommendations! I usually go with Kingston SD cards personally. As in the past Sandisk SDs always eventually corrupted for me an I never had my kingstons corrupt. But the last Sandisk SD I used was many years ago. Perhaps they've improved since then. Plus would support ya. So that is a plus.
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.
Great video!
still underrated channel, i rematch many vids when shopping or rebuying vertain things as they are so informative and technical, in a good way.
Im upgrading from 200gb to 400gb, thank god i saw this video as i was going to buy the sandisk extreme pro. Now ive ordered the ultra instead. Thanks!
The one thing I would look for, especially if you are concerned with losing your game library if your SD card fails, is try and find a card in your price range with the most rated read/write operational lifetime. This usually means more expensive vs a similar sized normal SD card, but it's cheap insurance if you have no backup. The SanDisk Extreme has something like double the read/write lifespan than the Ultra.
do SD cards usually just fail to the point where the files are irretrievable? also where did you get this info and how long would these cards practically last for?
@@Sepear305 SD cards have a lifespan too.
I think if you use it just for a phone,it would last 10 years of reading/writing.
Idk how long it would last on switch which uses the SD card everytime.
or just copy the files to your pc?
But we all have our games in the eshop in case we want to dowmload them again. Right?
@@mrkakotube exactly
Very helpful!!! Thank you so much I jus got my switch today !!
Really love your videos on the switch. I recently got a switch (after just 3 paychecks) and I really want take good care of my console. Really helpful
Hey, Bob! Yes, thank you for asking. I recently upgraded my SD card on my Switch from 64 to 128. I should be fine for a couple of years. I mostly buy physical games. Great vid, by the way!
3:53
Bytes vs bits. Important distinction to not get messed up when talking speeds. To clarify, MB/s is MegaBytes and Mbps is Megabits. There are 8 bits in a Byte which means that 30MB/s is equivalent to 240Mbps
A quick summation is MB = megabytes and Mb = megabit.
Thank you for clear and concise information.
Hey man, love your channel content, this video actually help me on deciding the Sd card for my Nintendo Switch Lite.
Keep it up, cheers from Honduras!
SanDisk has been my memory go to brand since I had to carry around a collection of thumb drives lol.

Thanks dude! You always explain in detail. Very informative!
Thank you! This video was exactly what I needed!!
Very helpful, I’ll have to use your link to buy a new 400gb micro SD. Even though I disagree with you on starlink. It’s not a great game but if you find it on sale for $20 it’s worth it
Thanks, you just saved me a lot of money.
Now I can get double the storage size for cheaper, thanks to not being any real benefit to getting the SanDisk Extreme Pro I was going to get 😊
More content like this, please.
Definitely going to take Wulff's recommendation here when i get my switch and SD Card, since i'm mostly going to get digital games. Awesome video
I actually learned something... It really helped me in choosing a card. Thanks! :)
It’s been 2 years since I got my Lite and I finally need to upgraded from my 128GB 🥰
I’m probably going to get a 256GB one since the switch is already half way through it’s log cycle rn and I’m not expecting to buy too many more games over the next 4-5 years 🙃
I have not purchased too many games for my switch but the few that I have picked up have been kind of half digital half physical. I picked up my switch on day one and put a 32GB micro SD card in there but I have been considering doubling the capacity recently because it is about 80%-90% full 😁
I only play fortnite but all the updates make me have to get another one
Thank you so much for this video! So incredibly helpful for me!

Justin C Probably a Lexar one lol
Thanks, very good info for me on helping to buy my sd card on my switch!
Very useful, thanks man!
UHS-I refers to the bus type. It is distinct from the U1/U3 rating. Notice how the "Extreme" card is UHS-II -- you'll notice the difference immediately, as the card will have many more contacts on it -- but both it and your 400gb card carry the "U3" standard.
The Switch doesn't support UHS-II anyway, so both cards should perform comparably. (The specs are cross-compatible with each other, you just won't gain any speed using UHS-I in UHS-II, and you'll lose speed using UHS-II in UHS-I.
SD card speed ratings are a fucking mess.
Using a 64GB Sandisk and I'm mighty happy with it!
Thanks for the info, very useful
Love that I can search what I am looking for on your page and find exactly what I need.
It's interesting being recommended videos like this years after they were uploaded. It's been almost 3 years, and now you can find 512 GB cards for $40-50 during sales. Storage has gotten so much cheaper.

I came for SD cards, but also got a beard joke! Amazing content, I had to pause and give a like before I died laughing!
Yeah 200gb's is definitely the best price/storage ratio for most people
Even if you buy mostly digital. most Switch games are usually sub 10gb, Bigger titles are ~15-20gb and the biggest are ~30gb so 200gb will last ya for most games
I was really lost on which MicroSD card to buy and I got a clear picture now thanks to you... Informative and Entertaining Work...Thanks again!
Thanks THIS IS A VERY INFORMATIVE! I love this type of video on CZcams ! U Rock
My question is do the SD Cards wear down over time till they die, or can I trust that they will run seemingly forever like a physical copy of a game would(given you take proper care of it of coure... )
That's a good question.
Some microSD cards have 10+ years or even lifetime warranty. Those are the ones you should buy and will last you forever. Some orhers are low quality and are not that reliable.
They have a limit to the number of read/write cycles albeit quite a large number. So yes they do ware down over time but that'll take a decade at least.😉
@@benzemamumba ok, and this read and write takes place when simply using it or only when downloading things, of course I won't be deleting anything so...

I had a 32 GB and just recently upgraded to a 200+ GB (I forgot how much it had)
I would get most of my games as physical copies, but they tend to go on sale digitally so that’s why I have more digital than physical games.
I went with a 256gb Toshiba Exceria card for my Switch. Works great and bought it all the way back in 2019. Might have to replace it before long though, as I don't want the card to giveout on me. I think I got another couple of years with it though. It is rated for a 5 year warranty at least. And on a bonus note, it is an authentic Made In Japan Toshiba card. It does not disappoint.

Thanks, I lost my shit at that reference.
Thanks for the video. It solidified my decision to which size I would need since I play 2k on my switch and the game itself takes up a lot of space.
