Customer Ratings & Reviews

The SanDisk 128 GB microSD memory card is a great choice for the Nintendo Switch, especially if you are an Apex fan! Pros: * Quick installation - Open up the kickstand on the back of the Nintendo Switch and insert the microSD card. It is as simple as that. * Ultra fast read/write speeds - This microSD card offers speeds up to 100 MB/s read and 90 MB/s write. What does this mean for the average user? Fast data transfer resulting in seamless gameplay and a great user experience. I downloaded Apex from the Nintendo store and it installed quickly. When playing the game, I did not experience any stuttering or other performance issues that would detract from the experience. * Storage capacity - With the average digital game for the Nintendo Switch being 10-15 GB and the internal base storage only being 32 GB you are limited in the number of games you can have installed at one time. The SanDisk 128 GB offers a fairly large storage capacity (relative to what is available on the market) at a competitive price allowing you to store a larger number of digital games. * Compatible with other devices that use microSD cards. Cons: * None Overall, SanDisk makes an excellent product and the 128 GB Apex Branded microSD for the Nintendo Switch does not disappoint.

Digital space is always at a premium. Even though the standards regarding hard drive space have drastically changed - even in just the past five years - digital device users always seem to find a need for more space. One of those reasons is to save gaming data from game systems like the Nintendo Switch. The Switch happens to have an expandable memory option in the form of a Micro SD card slot, which is located under the pop-out stand. SanDisk, a trusted brand for memory cards, has a special edition of microSDXC cards made specifically for the Nintendo Switch. This card is 128GB in size and boasts write speeds up to 90MB/s and read speeds up to 100 MB/s. The card is compatible with both the Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite. It’s designed to work in hard environments and can even withstand water, high temperatures, airport X-ray machines, and shocks. This particular card is a special edition for the game Apex Legends. It has a logo emblazoned on it that indicates its connection to the game. As one would expect, the card is packaged similarly to other SD cards. It’s in a cardboard-backed retail package that for some reason, I always have trouble opening. There is a dotted line that is meant to be cut so that the user can pull the card out of the container, but even after cutting directly across that line, I had to rip into the package in order to get the card out. The card does not come with any sort of carrying case. To use it, you simply insert the card into the Micro SD card slot and follow on-screen directions on the Nintendo Switch. I ended up having to complete an update on the Switch before it would recognize the card. As far as the Apex Legends game goes, I was a little confused if the card itself provided any sort of special download option for the game, but as it turns out, the game is free to download (with in-app purchases) from the Nintendo e-store. I started the download and it ended up taking around 2.5 hours to complete. The game was saved directly to the microSDXC card and took approximately 19.2 GB of space. It’s worth noting that you must have a Nintendo account in order to play the game since it’s online-based. I have multiple users on my Switch and two of them do not have online accounts. As you start up the game, you will find that you also need an EA games online account, too. Other than the branding on the card, it does not seem as though the connection to the Apex Legends game affects the operation of the card at all. There are actually other versions of the microSDXC card that provide different capacities and feature different color/branding designs. To access the storage options of the card, navigate to System Settings on the Switch and select Data Management. Here you will be able to see how much System Memory and microSD card space is remaining. There are menu items that allow users to move data back and forth between the two storage options, manage software, and screenshots/videos that are being saved. Without changing any of the defaults, the Switch automatically started saving data to the microSDXC card. I didn’t notice any slow downs during gameplay because of this. To test the copy/transfer option between the system memory and card, I transferred all the screenshots (11 in total) from the system memory to the card. The transfer only took about 2 seconds. To test the read/write speed of the card itself, I connect it to my computer via a USB-C dock. The card appears on the desktop as an attached hard drive and you can access the contents. Items like photos and videos can be opened or copied to your computer if you wish. The game data is also visible as files, but it’s not a file that your computer would likely recognize. Using Blackmagic Disk Speed test I verified the read/write speed of the card. I ended up with a measurement of 82.8 MB/s WRITE and 89.9 MB/s READ. These readings are about 8% and 10% less than the maximum write/read speeds that are reported in the specs of the card. It’s important to note that card speeds could have been affected by the USB-C connection between the dock and the computer. The microSDXC card is a very good option for additional space on the Switch. I’m glad that it's an option that Nintendo included on it’s gaming device and this seems to be a good partnership between SanDisk and the gaming company. The cost is reasonable and the card seems to be a robust storage option for the gaming system.

SanDisk has long been a very reliable name when it comes to Micro SD cards, and when my son asked me if he can get a new SD card for his nintendo switch I got the opportunity to get him this card that has some other interesting features. it is 128GB which means he can store a lot of game saves on it, it is water, shock, heat, and airport X-Ray resistant meaning it will have a longer life cycle and it supports up to a 100 MB/ second for read and 90 MB/ second for write which is fast...very fast. it also supports 4K UHD video play (depending on device, internet speed, and file size). and most importantly, this is the Apex legends edition which meant that my son can now play his favorite game on Switch as well beside playing it on ps4 and PC. the game was free to download and playon Nintendo e-shop. I am very satisfied with this product and the price is right as well.

Perfect storage expansion for my Nintendo Switch. Migrated from a 32GB microSDHC card to this one. Fast performance and easy installation. Now I have plenty of space for all the games and data my kids use on the Switch

It does the job nothing fancy just a memory card that fit in my switch, compwtive peice!

Lots of storage for games at a great price awesome product

Great helps with some much needed space and good price

Good SD card for the Nintendo Switch. I haven't noticed any performance decrease over the games installed in the SD card vs the system memory. I choose this one because of the Apex Legend branding, so keep in mind you are paying for the looks too.

Apex is a dope game! I put this microSD in my nintendo switch and have a fun blast. The Logo got me to buy it microSD card.

It holds a lot of games! My daughter is enjoying her Nintendo Switch, which is what this was bought for.

Very useful storage , works very well woth my nintendo lite.

Obviously, this SD card can work in many different devices other than the Nintendo Switch video game console, but it has one potentially important feature. It can be purchased as a gift by anyone (technical or not) for a family member or friend who has a Switch and they needn’t be worried that it won’t work. Continuing that theme, it is also branded with Switch game logos which slightly increases the fun value for young gift recipients. Features: - 128 GB storage volume (other sizes available) - Will hold multiple games - 100 MB/second Read, 90 MB/second write speeds - Limited Lifetime Warranty PROS: - It can be installed and removed from the Switch in seconds with no tools. - Packaging comes with common instructions to download a free game from Nintendo. - Can be used in any device that meets this card’s common storage specifications. CONS: - A very minor thing, but if it’s used in the future to transfer files to a business client, the game logos printed on it might detract from professionalism depending on your business. Conclusion: A solid device.

lots of storage space for your game switch device, small but the price is a little high compared to regular storage devices for computers

It's a memory card... It does what its supposed to do. I just got it in sale, and it still was a bit pricey.
