"PNY first dropped its own microSD Express card in May, and it is one of the fastest on the market, running speeds of 890/500 mps (offering 4.4x faster speeds than standard microSD cards). But it only launched with 128GB and 256GB storage options. Luckily, PNY is on the case and has just expanded its range to include a larger 512GB option - welcome news for the millions of gamers wanting more capacity for their consoles."
"Officially, the microSD is only fully compatible with the Switch 2 - so if you're using other consoles you'll need a standard UHD microSD. So do you need the new roomy storage model, or could you make do with one of the smaller (and cheaper) options? If you take into account the useable space on each size of microSD (after formatting), the amount of games you can fit on each model will vary depending on whether you're playing AAA or Indie games."
"With the 512GB coming in at 60% more expensive than the 128GB version, it's actually not bad value - you do get about six times more games onto that card, after all. To compare with the rest of the market, Lexar's 512GB version costs $112 whereas SanDisk's is a bit pricier still, at $114.99. Given PNY's speeds are very comparable (and beat out the others in a lot of cases), it will be coming in at a very competitive price."
MicroSD Express cards are required for full Switch 2 performance, and early demand caused shortages at major retailers. PNY initially released 128GB and 256GB Express models running at 890/500 mps (about 4.4× faster than standard microSD) and has added a 512GB option priced at $99.99. Usable space after formatting changes how many AAA or indie titles fit, and the 512GB model holds roughly six times more games than the 128GB despite costing about 60% more. Competitors include Lexar's 512GB at $112 and SanDisk's at $114.99, while Lexar also offers a 1TB option at around £200.
