Q: Which platform is this microSD Express Card compatible with?

A: The microSD Express is a new technology that has not been widely adopted. Samsung only started selling those in 2024 and the Nintendo version only comes in 256 GB. SamDisk has a 512GB version. Up until now there was no market for these. Few devices accept the speeds of these, and because of a change in pins, in devices that do not read them it is instead read as a UHS-I, meaning that in those devices it is slower than a UHS-II or UHS-III while being more expensive. So, since not a lot of products accept the Express cards, few users would want these. That will probably change now that Switch 2 created a market for them.
Q: What is the read/write speed specs on this microSD Express Card?
A: A member of Target Expert Support provided the following specs for this model: Reads at 880MB/s and Writes at 480MB/s, with its sustained write speeds peaking at 100MB.
A: I have like 20 games but could probably fit like 4 or 5 cyberpunk size games.
