Features
  • Ready for tomorrow

    A PCIe 3.1 NVMe interface and a standard microSD UHS-I interface make this card compatible with today’s devices and primed for future superspeed products.

  • Exponentially faster performance

    256GB microSD Express cards deliver up to 880MB/s read speeds, up to 650MB/s write speeds, and 210MB/s sustained write speeds, when used with SanDisk PRO-READER SD Express Dual Card (sold separately).

  • A massive time-saver

    A microSD Express card reduces your wait time significantly. When paired with the SanDisk PRO-READER SD Express Dual Card (sold separately), it saves you up to 2.8 minutes transferring 60 minutes of 4K UHD video shot at 30 fps and up to 2.9 minutes transferring 2,000 10MP RAW photos.And transfer a 2-hour HD movie that has been downloaded from a streaming site to the microSD Express card in less than 3.5 seconds.

  • Durability you can count on

    Adventure without worry knowing the microSD Express cards, like our standard microSD cards, are waterproof, temperature-proof, humidity-proof, drop-proof, shock-proof, magnetic-proof, x-ray proof, and wear-out proof. And SanDisk ThermAdapt helps keep devices from overheating with a specially designed enclosure and controller that uses dynamic adaptive thermal management.

  • Trust us with your content

    SanDisk knows microSD Express inside and out. We helped initiate the standard and continue to drive its development to this day, just as we led development of the microSD, microSD UHS-I, and microSD UHS-II card formats. We use proprietary Flash Management Techniques to produce highly stable memory. And we back the cards with a lifetime limited warranty.

  • Full file recovery

    Nothing satisfies quite like capturing the right shot or scene, and nothing frustrates more than accidentally deleting it. With the included RescuePRO Deluxe file recovery software offer, you can recover files free of charge for two full years.

    Works Great. Lacks Adaptor.

    I bought this for the Nintendo Switch 2 and I have no doubts it'll work well due to SanDisks reliability. I was however disappointed to see that this microSD Express card does not come with an adaptor in the box. I have an old one I can use, but it won't reach the speeds this microSD is capable of.

    Speed!

    I can confirm advertised speeds are achievable. You WILL need the SanDisk - PRO-READER SD Express (sku: 6633042) and, in my case, an Insignia Thunderbolt 4 cable (sku:6540038) plugged into a usb 3.2 gen 2 port. This will work in any device accepting a UHS/v30/xci/3a2 card, such as a gopro or phone. It can also be used in a non-express reader, though, your read speeds will be 153MB/s and 106MB/s write.

    SanDisk 256GB Express card for Nintendo Switch2

    I've been using the SanDisk Extreme 2256 gb card for a month now, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. This card is fast. I haven’t run into any stuttering or lag when loading larger titles. The Switch 2 seems to take full advantage of the card's speed. If you’ve got a Switch 2 and need extra space, this SanDisk 256GB microSD card is an easy recommendation. Fast, reliable, and plenty of room for your games without needing to constantly delete or shuffle files around.

    Great option for Switch 2

    Works great, fast load times and doubles my switch 2 storage. Hard to argue against it at this price.
