Well, screw Nintendo and their double dipping by shorting us on storage and then allowing game publishers to sell us game-key cards that take up storage space forcing us to buy this overpriced media.
Express is the new standard and is expensive in comparison to the older SD cards. Most people buying these for Switch 2, which can't use the older cards.
Community Reviews
This 256GB Samsung P9 Express microSD card stands out as a relatively cheap way to add Switch 2 storage, especially for a name brand Micro SD Express card. The comments frame it as the same speed and specs as the Mario packaging deal, just cheaper, and note that Express cards are still pricey compared with older SD cards. It also looks well suited to Switch 2 and other compatible devices, with enough room for a few large games. The main concern is capacity, since modern titles can eat through 256GB quickly, making 512GB more appealing for heavier libraries. A practical pick if you want to double storage without paying for the larger size.
Switch 2 owners who want to expand storage because they only have about 72GB free at setup and a 256GB Express card should cover their needs, since commenters said $33 felt like an easy buy versus higher prices.
Switch 2 owners buying MicroSD Express specifically to take advantage of the newer format, because commenters noted Express is the new standard and Switch 2 can't use older cards.
People using a MicroSD Express-compatible device (not just a standard microSD slot), because commenters said you only get the speed benefits if the device supports MicroSD Express; otherwise it falls back to standard UHS-I behavior.
Mini5 Pro Drone owners looking for a fast microSD Express card, because one commenter said it looks like a good fit for that drone.
Gamers who want a single larger card instead of multiple smaller ones, because one commenter argued it isn't worth buying two 256GB cards and pointed to large game sizes (like FFVII Remake being ~100GB) as the reason to go bigger.
People planning to use a UHS-I-only adapter/reader, because commenters said hardware described as ideal for UHS-1 likely won't take advantage of an Express card and you'd need compatible Express hardware.
Anyone who assumes an SD Express reader will work with this microSD Express card, because commenters clarified that the linked reader was for CFexpress (CompactFlash) and is incompatible with SD/microSD Express.
Switch 2 owners who expect to install lots of 60GB+ games, because commenters said 256GB can run out quickly once multiple large titles are installed.
Switch 2 owners who already see their 256GB card space shrink to only ~32GB after use, because one commenter reported that outcome and said they'll move to 512GB next time as game sizes keep growing.

That's was my question; do these devices bring Express speeds to your ordinary computer equipment. Sounds like the answer is Yes.
Amazon has good return process, I might have to give it a try. I managed to get 3 types of Express cards over BF.

Well, screw Nintendo and their double dipping by shorting us on storage and then allowing game publishers to sell us game-key cards that take up storage space forcing us to buy this overpriced media.
Sure, you can still resell and loan them out, but that doesn't change the core issue. Tiny on-board storage, mostly third-party games are GKC's, and additional storage is outrageously priced.
And sure, Nintendo doesn't mandate it, but by making it an option while also charging the publishers more to use their cartridge, they are making it plainly obvious which format to use.
I used to be like you, glazing the game key cards as being acceptable. Then I saw the light when I put the whole picture together.
The 1TB are technically still paid for, not given. But given as an option if that's what you meant. Under the eyes of the global market, the game key cards are a scummy way Nintendo made to get more profits. But the perspective and decision was under Japanese business and in the Japanese market. They were going to go full digital but decided against it by making game key cards to make people go into retail stores from their perspective in the Japanese retail market. Third party companies could have just chosen to go full digital and not even support game key cards because they get a larger return, but probably saw that they want to capture the foot traffic in physical retail stores (and not necessarily support it either). I don't support the GKCs and I avoid them as much as I can but I bought the NS2 for mostly Nintendo 1st party games and third party titles are mostly going to my PC which is full digital anyways. What's messed up is software pricing leaving the standard $59 price we had for more than 2 decades now. Gaming is going to get expensive in general and we used to have portables (DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita) were the lower demographic low software cost system. Switch 2 has not increased in price from the rise in RAM prices because Nintendo already contracted out manufacturing RAM years ago. Same for Xbox series and PS5, but new upcoming consoles (PS6 and the next Xbox) are likely going to hurt Sony and MS really badly because manufacturers are putting their fabs to AI. All the prices going up everywhere in all sectors probably means the Switch 1 will last a longer time since that's the only cheaper gaming alternative that still supports newer game releases.
Ok, I waited too late and of course, Amazon changed the link on me once the correct item went out of stock. This is the item I meant to link to:
