kind of surprised it was not a sandisk

Seems like great stuff for the Switch. I get that it's portable, but especially if you like to go digital, those games can take up lots of space. Isn't DOOM over 20GB? With many large games headed to and already on the Switch, like LA Noire, the stock 32GB will run out soon, or even 256GB SD cards if you buy the entire library. Sure, you can buy multiple and hotswap, but that's not convenient.

I think that once micro SD cards either get to 512 or 1024 GB (1TB), then it should be a Micro SD EC. A Micro SD Extreme Capacity.

I dont know Joe... Sounds fake. :v

i think XC is slated to go up to 2 TB though

if its not too expensive, ill get it for my Switch. good for homebrew and stuff once the TX Modchip comes out.

Sandisk just came out with 400gb micro sd. I wonder if this 512 card is real never heard of integral brand lot of fakes out there.

Well then.. Did not do my homework. I wonder what it would be named after 2TB.

SXC "Super Extreme Capacity"?

well it is being reported on by reputable tech sites
and it is not too far ahead of the 400gb so i doubt this is fake

 

[Bladexdsl]

yeah and imagine the price

 

[deinonychus71]

Nice, I was actually worried since i'm already about 60% of my 256GB...

 

[the_randomizer]

That's massive and I'll wait to the price comes down

 

[DinohScene]

Flash capacity is rapidly increasing.
I'll first await the error rates.

 

[Edgarska]

At this point I'd rather just get a few smaller cards than pay the premium for more storage, at least for normal use. For the price of a 400GB card I could just get 3 200GB cards and swap them as needed.

Great for professional use though.

 

[WiiUBricker]

I bet you can buy another Switch for that price.

 

[Yepi69]

SanDisk and Kingston already made those, however those were still not released to the public.

Don't expect it to cost anything less than what you paid for your Switch itself. High-capacity microSD cards are mad expensive. You'll probably be better off buying multiple lower-capacity cards, as you'll likely find them cheaper and on discount at times. Even 128GB is likely more than enough for now, unless you're planning on buying an inordinate number of games. There's only a couple really hefty games out so far.

Even a 200 GB card isn't too expensive, I think I saw them for 60 dollars or so?

200GB goes for $70 at Wal-Mart in the USA.
