I'm thinking about buying a 128gb and a rcm jig for hacking but will that be enough memory? Should I try to get a 200gb instead?
Definitely go with 200, they're reasonably priced nowadays. 400 is still overpriced, 256 seems to be a little higher per GB than lower capacity cards, for not much extra capacity, so not really worth it IMO.
It should take you a while to fill up that 200 GB unless you download all the ports, Switch has few exclusives right now. Once that's full 400GB cards should hopefully be a lot cheaper.

Class 10 is 10mb/s. Don't know if anyone tested and see the difference, but the Sandisk Micro SD with Nintendo Switch logo on it is classed U3 (30mb/s). If the extra speed doesn't help, why would they choose this type then?

Ok thanks for the advice guys. I will probably just go with a 128 gb for now but get something bigger later down the road when I have more money.

I got a 64gb and i'm ordering a 128gb tomorrow. What i plan on doing is switching between the 2 so i can fit me a good amount of games on my 64gb card and the bigger games/ones that will not fix i'll put on the other card.

Class 10 means 10 megaBYtes per second minimum. UHS-1 cards write at a minimum of 10 megs a sec, but burst up to like 130. They average around 80

Gambia, The
Samsungs Evo Plus (NOT evo+) line should be the sweet spot right now. 128gb for 35€ 256gb for 80€ (should be obtainable through ebay for ~60 because there is a Samsung S9 promo). With 100/90 r/w on par with the Samsung Pro and Sandisk extreme lineup.

64gb seems a little low with emunand.

I went with 200gb at the time as the next jump up wasn’t worth it as the price rises pretty steeply.

As one who prefers physical copies of games, I don't expect to fill my console or my 32GB memory card anytime soon. I do have a few games installed, but they're mostly small ones like Disco Dodgeball Remix. When I do upgrade, it'll probably be to a 64GB one.

Your wife must have a really large one.
