Overview
- Woot’s Prime-shipped sale sets a $37.99 all-time low for PNY’s 256GB Express card, a drop from its typical roughly $60 price.
- Samsung’s officially licensed 256GB Mario-themed Express card is $39.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and GameStop.
- Both options use the PCIe-based microSD Express standard with advertised transfer rates around 800–890MB/s, far faster than standard microSD.
- The PNY card adds rugged design claims, a lifetime warranty, and access to PNY’s Photo Recovery software.
- Nintendo’s Switch 2 requires microSD Express for storing and playing games and includes a 256GB internal SSD, so older standard microSD cards are not suitable.
