Community Reviews
This is a 512GB microSD Express card for Switch 2, and the main draw is that it meets the console's required Express standard rather than regular microSD. The Costco price lands below Walmart and far under other major retailers, with historical pricing for 512GB Express cards making $89.99 look solid. It also appears in the Costco app at some locations, sometimes at $79.99, and can be found in store even when it is not on the floor. The main caution is that shipping has had a known website error, and the card is only worth comparing against other Express models because standard microSD cards will not work.
The card is described as compatible with Switch 2 because it is a microSD Express card that meets required read and write speed needs.
The card is positioned as a Costco price that undercuts major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, B&H, Micro Center, and Best Buy.
The Costco app listing shows in-warehouse availability and a lower app price of $79.99 in some locations.
The deal can be improved by price-matching Best Buy to Walmart and applying rewards while still treating the Costco offer as strong value.
Switch 2 compatibility reportedly depends on using a microSD Express card rather than a regular microSD card, which limits cross-device use.
The card's Express interface is described as requiring specific performance, so regular microSD cards may not meet the needed speed requirements.
Customer service reportedly flagged a known website shipping error and only advised customers to try again later.
The card reportedly failed an initial h2testw test with very long write and read times, though errors did not reappear after switching computers and card readers.

I bought the same exact card from Walmart in July 2025 for $78. Right before RAM prices soared.
So compared to RAM and SSDs, a price jump of $11 is not that bad for SD Express.
Edit : Damn people! understand the intention, I am not saying the same card was sold for $22. I just want the low price memory days to come back!
Failed the first h2testw. Switched computers and trying a different SD card reader.
For the first run, it could be anything from the USB port, to the card reader, to the SD card. It took nearly four hours to write everything. Total read time is almost 2 hours. I think the errors happened around the hour mark but I wasn't paying attention.
edit: tested on other SD Card reader and computer. no errors.
I found it in San Leandro, CA, it wasn't on the floor, but I bought at checkout by giving the item # and they had it available in the back.
I can see in the app, Foster City, Danville, San Francisco, S San Francisco, Newark, Pleasanton, San Leandro have it in stock
price was $79.99
