Samsung just announced the P9 Express series of microSD Express cards, which are primarily intended for use with the Switch 2 console. This is a good thing, as Nintendo’s latest console only works with microSD Express cards and, to be honest, there aren’t that many options out there for consumers.
The company boasts that these new cards feature maximum sequential read speeds up to 800MB/s, which is a mighty fine metric and in league with some of our other favorite cards for the Switch 2. The cards also include the company’s Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology, which was originally developed for SSDs. This should help things stay cool while you’re out there catching Pokémon or rampaging around as a cartoon gorilla.

Of course, these cards aren’t tied to the Switch 2. That’s just the most common use case scenario. They’ll work with just about anything, like tablets, drones, cameras and rival portable gaming consoles.
Samsung’s P9 Express microSD cards are available now, and the price is in line with similar offerings. The 256GB model costs $55 and the 512GB version costs $100.
