Does anyone NEED this yet? I have a bunch of games installed and am nowhere near max storage, probably because there aren't really any big S2 games out worth installing yet. Prices should drop by the time you "need" one.

EDIT: storage prices drop over time. That's always been the case. But sure, buy today what you won't need for a year when it's cheaper and downvote everyone else, the SD way.

$13 more than the WM Onn brand for a San Disk? Done and done, 3 left at my local store now. Picking mine up in a few hours.

Thanks for the heads up!

SanDisk is a top memory card brand, no downsides here.

This card has a lifetime warranty, the onn is 1 year. This is a vastly better deal.

I filled my internal storage with just all my Switch 1 games but these SD Express cards are hard to come by at a reasonable price so I had to choose which games get to stay downloaded and which get deleted

This doesn't need downvoting. There aren't that many titles currently that are switch 2 specific and all switch 1 games have historically ran just fine on less expensive and powerful cards.

I don't know the system specs by heart but does the switch 2 even have internal ready/write capabilities to match this card? Or rather, is there going to be a noticeable difference in loading times or something?
There's not much choice out there right now for a 512GB+ microSD Express card. Only companies I've seen with 512GB+ are SanDisk, Lexar, and ONN (Walmart branding). Not a question of power. Question of limited options.

Yes. The switch 2 REQUIRES an express card, regular Micro SD won't work.
I don't consider myself a heavy user, but after downloading my switch 1 games I had already filled up the capacity. Bought the ONN brand and happy with it.

Thank you for clarifying. I did not realize they made switch 2 micro sd EXPRESS only. That's quite an annoyance.

Quote from bigolebeemer :
If you don't need the speed you can get 1TB 160MB/s for cheaper. Won't make a bit of difference in a switch or camera or USB. You'll only see that speed in a PCIe NVMe slot in your motherboard if you have one. This is a good deal for this speed for sure but nothing utilizes this speed yet. A switches theoretical max is 104MB/s and in reality much slower for example. 160MB/s should still be more than enough for any camera or device currently out.
The switch 2 only uses Micro SD Express cards that can read/write at the 800mb/s. If you try to use a regular Micro SD card you can only store images on there.
The Onn version is relatively decent too if you can find one in store since they're just a rebranded Lexar.

The ONN version made by PNY was a better deal and runs completely fine in my Switch 2
