Hacking What Micro SD card should you buy for SD2Vita ?

jefazo92 · Mar 2, 2021

Hi everyone,

I would like to know what is the most economic yet the best type, size, etc. micro SD card for a SD2Vita. I have read aroud that the SanDisk card technology is the best aroud but is there an official spec sheet for the best SD card you should use ? In Eurogamer article, see link below, it says that for 16 GB SONY official memory card had, on average, a read speed of 7.60 MB/s and a write speed of 7.29 MB/s. Therefore if I buy a card with 100 MB/s speed (read and write) would that be more than fast enough to store and read ps vita games, homebrew and emulators ? Thanks in advance.

Get a genuine SanDisk Ultra 128GB (or bigger). Anything faster will be a waste unless you are copying large amounts of files on a PC.

I have a SanDisk Ultra 128GB and it works really well. I have 80+ Vita games and around 20+ PSP games and 2GB free. Of course this will depend on the games you choose and their sizes.

I'm using a 400GB and 512GB for my vita and pstv. they're hand-me-downs from the switch, since I now own 3 1TB micro sd cards for all 3 of my switches. I'm checking the latest one now as I got it today.

256 gig for me...

2TB is probably the theoretic limit. no micro sd card exists with that size. I noticed that there's now a class 10 micro sd card of 1TB that's about $50 cheaper than the A2 one. same size except A2 is much faster. you may or may not notice a difference, not sure. the memory cards by sony are supposed to be pretty fast by default, but without documentation, who's to say for sure?

$50 for 1TB Micro sdcard... God I wish I found that when I found mine... All my Micro SD's are SanDisc Ultras from Amazon..... P. S I was jealous when u said you have 3 switches with 1 tb SD's I still don't have a switch......because of $$$.. My mortgage is killing me financially I way over stepped... But anyways quick question mate... If I did get a switch as I do want one... I thought I needed that Chip... Or is the atmosphere another ways to hack one?... I haven't even researched how this is why I'm asking...

godreborn · Mar 2, 2021

no, it's $50 less. it's still around $179.

Ohh gotcha! Bit pricey for me atm... & the switch is it easy to hack do I need that mod chip? Or is there another way I don't know of... I actually been playing switch games on my PC I finished Mario Odyssey about a week ago.. Great game too short... But was fun

I have over 100 hours in that on my legit system(s). I've been searching for power moons, up to 843, and I read there's 880.

I bashed thru it.. But I completely enjoy it all the way.. There's not too many switch games that I'm. Excited about... But I will try Zelda Skyward Sword HD.. If it works well on PC... That zelda is worth a play again... I just hate the end of that game where you have to fight every boss again...

godreborn · Mar 2, 2021

I haven't beaten skyward sword. I think I got to the sand dungeon or just beyond it, so maybe dungeon 6 iirc. that's how I prefer my zeldas to be, not breathe of the wild, which I still haven't played.

iirc, there's a bug in the wii version that made it impossible to complete the game unless you download an update from nintendo. I don't have that update wad despite downloading the wad database from iso before it tanked.

Wait what? You haven't played Zelda BOTW? That was the game I bought my WIIU for all those years ago... Go play it now it's the best Zelda of them all huge.. A million things to do also it's nicer on Cemu emulator 4K texture mods ect.. Works perfectly on pc ( I finished it on WIIU 1st) I'm going through it all again on pc... It's basically Nintendo's Skyrim... I finished Zelda SWS on my hacked wii 1 no problems.. But fighting every boss at the end.. Was completely unnecessary & a pain... But the rest of the game was amazing

I use 256GB Samsung Evo Plus for my PS Vita Slim 3.65 Enso

jefazo92 · Mar 3, 2021

Thanks a lot for your replies guys. @NeoGranzon do Samsung cards work ok ? Good performance, speeds and all ? I have seen a couple 2nd hard Samsung SD cards and if they work fine, I'm thinking on buying one.

@jefazo92 ,Sdcard Samsung work very well.
There are 4 types of Samsung cards with different colors: orange,red,green and gray.
I recommend the red ones(Evo Plus that i use)because the green and gray ones(Select and Pro)are for cameras and I'm not sure if they are compatible with Sd2vita.

Just buy Samsung Evo Plus from Aliexpress and you are good to go.

@Dive ,in my opinion it is safer to buy from Amazon,less risk of fake sdcards.
