I'll stick with using only USB C to USB C using compatible cable, probably the one provided for the Switch. If you felt the sting of the Steam Deck itself in your finances, this kind of affordability will feel like a soothing aloe balm. I'm sad to hear about the 7+GB patch for FFXV, I've got to the point on PS4 that if I install a new game and it starts to download a patch larger than 4GB or so I just turn off the PS4's networking entirely until I"m done the game. The Samsung Pro Plus is the fastest card we tested in this group of microSDXC cards and is our pick for most people. NL clearly reposted an old guide; I wonder if the links to online vendors were left un-updated as well.

I'll be sticking mainly to retail so will only use internal memory for smaller digital only games; although GameCube VC games could be an issue. Companies consider their profits in double digits, so a single figure profit (unless it's at least 9) is considered largely negligible. duffmmann yeah it's crazy that we have 400GB micro sd cards now in that tiny little thing, i still have a 160GB external hard drive i brought more than a decade ago, i can't wait to see 1TB micro sd cards that will be mindblown. It's re-orientated horizontally, but it's probably the simplest of the three Switch consoles to insert or remove the Micro SD card.When Nintendo releases some cool vc games like Smash Melee and Double Dash (hopefully) then I'll purchase the 256gb. Not sure they WILL cover it, but if it were to be covered those are the folks that have proper measuring equipment, and/or relatively skilled double blind testing (with all the subjectivity therein. I'm pretty sure my 12GB PS3 Superslim turned off the 12GB when I installed an 80GB drive in there as well. PanurgeJr No worries man, like I said: no offense, but you certainly had me scratching my head in wonder for a couple of seconds there.

UHS (Ultra High Speed) is the current interface standard for SD and microSD cards, with specific ratings like UHS-I, UHS-II, and UHS-III denoting maximum transfer speeds. This group included the Kingston Canvas Select Plus, Lexar Play, Lexar 633x, PNY Elite, PNY Premier-X, Samsung Pro Endurance, SanDisk High Endurance, SanDisk Ultra (for Chromebooks), SanDisk Ultra Plus, and Silicon Power Superior Pro (3D NAND). Stick another 64GB in there and it can potentially last you a lifetime, just like that 64GB card in my 3DS is doing for me. Sure it's outputting discrete channels, but it's not like it's premastered, each channel is generated on the fly by the DSP or the game code.SanDisk's Extreme series is built to withstand harsh conditions, so it's ideal if you're looking for a memory card for your GoPro or another action camera.

It is pricier than both competitor's models when you factor in giving the system even half the storage space of the other two systems. I know these come from China, but since we can't have save files on it anyways, I figured I would just redownload the game if the card dies. JaxonH I'd like it to give me the option to set a default location - somebody putting in a 200GB or larger card may be willing to forego the 32GB internal - when a new SD card is installed. Trying to find a compatable external hard drive for my Wii U has been an absolute pain (I even used a recommended list and it didn't work), but I've had better luck when it comes to SD cards.

This is basic stuff from the 1980's, I'm not asking for magic or miracles, just a choice how to use my device and SD card that I purchased and paid for.

Although we didn’t eliminate cards for having a shorter warranty, we noted those backed by 10-year limited and lifetime limited warranties. Full-size SD cards used to be significantly faster than microSD cards, but that isn’t really the case anymore. rjejr Wait for someone who actually does the legwork to find a source, but I'm pretty sure it was said that when external storage is added, the on-board NAND storage is just used for saves. Since microSD cards mostly serve as media storage these days, sequential speeds matter more, but random access speed is still important.To remove the microSD card, push it even further into the slot until the lock releases, sending it popping partway out. They are mostly fakes which only have say 16GB of memory but fool a PC into thinking they have 256GB. Also, if Nintendo really wants to push a large install base as quick as possible, then they should sell the Switch at a loss for the first year or two. It’s 2018 and the 1,5 year old switch still does not support folders or moving
