$42.99 44% off $23.99 at Amazon

Gamers looking to expand their Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or Asus ROG Ally storage have an excellent opportunity today. Amazon currently offers the 512GB PNY Premier-X Micro SDXC Card for just $23.99 — a 44% discount that includes an SD card adapter. Remarkably affordable yet surprisingly fast, this U3/A2/V30 rated card delivers solid performance for gaming handhelds.

Why Upgrade Your Storage?

The Nintendo Switch models come with limited internal storage (32GB/64GB), much of which gets consumed by system files. Modern games like Tears of the Kingdom (16GB) or Monster Hunter Rise (20GB) quickly eat up space. While the Switch only has one expansion slot, most users find 512GB provides ample storage without overspending.

Premium Performance Specifications

Compatible with all Micro SDXC devices including gaming handhelds, this card offers:

  • Sustained read speeds up to 100MBps
  • Sustained write speeds up to 90MBps
  • Excellent for 4K video recording and large file transfers
