Official switch cards are U3, for what that information is worth.

BTW don't buy these even if you can find them anywhere. The only 'benefit' is the switch logo on them.

>I’m currently using the original memory card that came with the Switch but i’m trying to upgrade for the upcoming games.

Was this with a bundle or something? The Switch doesn't normally come with a memory card.

Edit:

You mean this card? Considering that the same card without branding is $12 cheaper...

Honestly, if you can wait a couple weeks, I'd wait for Black Friday to get a 200+ GB card for cheap.

Correction, don't buy it from Sandisk's site. The exact same cards are on Amazon for $30 and $75 dollars respectively:

yep! this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075RH8PTL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I figured I would just go ahead and get a bigger card now bc I like buying games digitally and don't want to have to worry about replacing it for a while. The 64GB is only $38 tho

They've came down in price tremendously. Here's the "official" 128GB card for $53

I purchased a microSD card on amazon that follows nearly all the requirements for compatibility and it is not recognized. After it didn't work I looked on amazon again and there is a near identical microSD card that is Nintendo licensed and 12 dollars more. The one requirement that is exceeded is the transfer speed at 100MB/s which is over the 60 - 95 MB/s listed. However the Nintendo card also advertises transfer rates of 100MB/s.

I am led to believe that the switch can handle reading at 100MB/s but writing at only 95MB/s. If this is the case then the Nintendo branded card is 12 dollars more so that the write speed can be 10MB/s slower? Also 12 is after prime discount, listed price the difference is 30 dollars.

I have no other uses for microSD cards so I would prefer to not spend more money on another card just to confirm that the Switch is damaged. If anyone can confirm that it is in fact a compatibility issue I suppose I have no choice but to buy the more expensive card that has the same specifications. Otherwise I will attempt to contact support for repairs.

​

EDIT: Also after browsing the sub a little more, the SD I bought is literally linked as a recommended card so I am inclined to believe the Switch is damaged

While the "gaming" SD card moniker is overdone, there is value in getting a faster SD card in some cases. I'll use an example.

Here's the Nintendo Switch co-branded Sandisk MicroSD 128GB, currently going for $54.99 on Amazon.

And here's the 128GB card that people often compare it to, also from Sandisk.

https://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-Ultra-128GB-Micro-Adapter/dp/B073JYC4XM

Wow, only $26! Who in their right mind would buy the Nintendo co-branded one for just over twice the price!?

The proper card to compare it to is this one from Sandisk.

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-UHS-3-SDSQXAF-064G-GN6MA/dp/B06XX3X9JD

This is the same exact card as the Nintendo co-branded one, and comes with an SD to MicroSD adapter. It's also $43.79 at the time that I'm linking it.

It should be noted that prices fluctuate, and I bought the Nintendo one for ~$45 a week ago, while the non-branded one was ~$55.

Which one should a gamer get? Realistically, they should have near identical read speeds, and therefore, load times for games that are installed. The two more expensive options are faster at write speeds by a noticeable margin. This helps with game installs, larger saves, and any other write-based task. IE, most won't notice.

Most users should get the cheaper model. For those who think that they need the additional performance (I didn't, I was kidding myself), get the cheaper of the two similar Sandisk models, or a similar rated product from another brand that you trust.
