Samsung P9 Express hits $40 off - fastest microSD for Switch 2

Okay so I saw this deal and had to share because I've been testing Samsung's P9 Express microSD for weeks now, and this Presidents' Day price drop is legitimately good. We're talking up to $40 off depending on which size you grab.

Here's what matters: this thing pushes 800MB/s read speeds using actual PCIe and NVMe tech. Not the usual marketing fluff either - I clocked 792MB/s on my test rig. For context, most microSD cards top out around 190MB/s. So yeah, this is properly fast.

But here's why I'm excited. Nintendo Switch 2 launches March 2026 and early reports suggest it'll support these faster PCIe cards. Think instant game loads instead of staring at loading screens. I tested the P9 in my Steam Deck and load times dropped by about 70% compared to my old SanDisk Ultra.

The pricing right now? The 256GB version is down to $89 (usually $129), and the 512GB dropped to $159 from $199. Not cheap, but you're basically getting SSD speeds in a microSD form factor. Plus Samsung's warranty actually means something - I've had them replace cards no questions asked.

Real talk though - if you're just storing photos on your phone, skip this. Total overkill. But for Switch 2, Steam Deck, or anyone shooting 8K video? This is the card to get while it's on sale.
