Sandisk ultra or extreme will work better on the switch?

So if you put, say this 400gb Ultra, in a Switch, that is perfectly fine? The slow write isn't a factor?
Good question, there is a lot of data and research out there showing there is no need to get any extreme or endurance or higher speed cards for a switch. The Nintendo Switch will only write and read at the Class 10 speeds you get from the Sandisk Ultra class 10. Buying a "faster SD" card is a waste of money on a switch. Use those in cameras or high end video gear. It is wasted on the switch. Basically, the bulk of SD cards you see here on slickdeals will ALL work on a switch, and all at the same speed, regardless of how fancy you go. Spend the extra $ on size. 128 is good for a few dozen games mixed between digital and cartridge. 256 is better for more digital use 50 or more games or for epic games that require a lot of data download. 400 is perfect for holding 75+ games

Those SD cards are also on sale, but apparently no one cares...

You might be wanting this one: https://smile.amazon.co
There are two very similar Sandisk cards. I think the one I linked to has 120 mb/s read and the one that's $45 has 100 mb/s read.
Edit:
The one in OP's link shows 120 mb/s. I know there's one on Amazon that is $45 that is 100 mb/s. I don't know what the deal is with Adorama's price.
