## Summary

Samsung’s P9 MicroSD Express cards, compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, are on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo. The 256GB model costs $47.99, below its usual price of about $80, offering Switch 2 owners a cheaper way to expand storage as game files take up significant space.

The 512GB model is $99, compared with its usual $150 to $200 range; both prices remain above the cards’ original launch prices, possibly because of a wider memory shortage. Switch 2 games commonly use 10 to 30GB, with the cited Ocarina of Time remake at 27GB and Cyberpunk 2077 at 60GB. The Asus ROG Ally X20 is another device that supports MicroSD Express.
