Okay so I saw this deal and had to share because we're all gonna need storage for the Switch 2, right? Samsung's P9 microSD Express card just dropped to $79 on Amazon. That's forty bucks off the usual price for 512GB of the fastest storage you can stick in Nintendo's upcoming console.
Here's why I'm actually excited about this one. The P9 uses that new Express standard which means it can hit speeds way beyond regular microSD cards. We're talking read speeds that'll make loading those massive open world games actually bearable. And before you ask - yes, the Switch 2 supports microSD Express. Nintendo confirmed it last month.
I've been testing the P9 in my Steam Deck and honestly, the difference is noticeable. Game loads, texture streaming, all that stuff just feels snappier. For $79, you're getting storage that would've cost triple this two years ago. Sure, you could grab a regular microSD for less, but trust me, you'll feel the difference when you're waiting for Zelda to load.
The timing on this deal is pretty perfect too. Switch 2 launches in March and everyone's gonna be scrambling for storage once they realize how big these new games are. Might as well grab it now while it's cheap. Just saying.
