“What is the "3" in the lower right corner signify? There is another SanDisk 128GB MicroSD XC1 less expensive, but the difference is that it has "1" in the lower right corner. Besides it saying Switch on it, is it better or just a marketing stamp?”

This has the Nintendo stamp because it makes download times faster and loads the games faster.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It refers to the UHS number. Higher number means it transfers data faster (shorter load times).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 3 signifies a faster read and write speed. That’s why it cost a bit more. The one you’re referring to is an older model. Always look for the three when buying any as card.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 3 on this SD card represents the speed class of the card. Speed class 3 will write at 30 MB/s and over. Speed class 1 will write at 10 MB/s or higher. The Switch is a marketing stamp.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The number in this "U" indicates the level or version of this particular memory standard. Yes, the higher number is better and indicates several features of the card including the read/write speeds; this number is very important when selecting memory for the switch. If the speeds are too slow, the card will burn out or not even work. The Switch may not even read the card to begin with. The advantage of the official Nintendo SD card is that it will be designed and calibrated just for the Switch.
