If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, some of it reserved for the OS. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom uses up 16GB and Breath of the Wild about 13.5GB. If bought digitally, those two games alone would take up all of your internal storage on the OG Switch console. There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford, although very few people will need more than 1TB of storage.
The Samsung EVO series of Micro SDXC cards are compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard. That includes the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. Both the Evo Select and Evo Plus are rated at U3 A2 V30 speeds. The Evo Select boasts read speeds of up to 160MB/s compared to the Evo Plus write speed of 130MB/s. An SD card adapter is also included in the packaging for devices that don’t accept the smaller Micro SDXC standard.
