[@budthecyborg4575]

I still wish every mobile device hat a full size SD card. The physical interface of full size SD is much easier to use, doesn't limit capacity (you can get 2TB or higher in SD cards but this 1.5TB is the maximum size for MicroSD), and full size has room on the card for better memory controllers. Full size SD could "potentially" even hold DRAM on card which greatly improves reliability, any time you go shopping for an SSD make sure it has a memory controller with DRAM (I wouldn't count on any SD card having DRAM right now though, but with MicroSD putting DRAM on the card is effectively an impossibility).

*Here is the problem I see facing Switch 2.* *I am on my 3rd 1TB for Switch, yes I have over 1,000+ games and I am mostly physical.* *The Switch is supposed to handle 2TB and we are just seeing a 1.5TB at the end of the Switch life.* *So when the Switch 2 comes out and of course the games,cartridges, DLC & updates will be bigger.* *So I expect everyone to have at least eight to ten 1TB cards in their inventory.* *Nintendo will not be going proprietary which will be self sabotage like the PSP and if we wont see a 2TB anytime soon in 2024, since it took 8+ years just to see a 1.5TB so yes expect to have your Switch 2 collection on a lot of 1-1.5 TB cards.*

[@niospartan]

A lot of memory standards have gotten phased out before theyve reached their "theoretical" limit. I'm glad micro sds have stayed long enough to actually get close to them compared to when they first came out with what 4mb now all the way to 1.5 or 2tb and for cheaper.

This would do away with the confusion over the advertised space of a storage device and the space reported by software. Using binary units would also align nicely with the use of binary computing within our CPU architectures and align with the historical, and still current, usage of binary sizes for computer memory (both RAM and caches), file systems, software and hell even within underlying functionality of some storage devices (eg: sector and NAND sizes).

I wouldn't use this for a Steam Deck or similar handheld.

I remember buying my first hard drive back in 286 days - it was 340 MB - that is right megabyte and it cost me $350. So yeah storage now is pretty amazing. I bought it because I only had a 20MB hd and bought a 20MB game - one of the Zork games.

I remember the Sandisk 8 gigabyte SD Card costing like almost $100 in 2008-2009 and thinking to myself this is absolutely batshit crazy I have this much memory the size of a Pinky Nail! 1.5Tb SD Cards though? DAYUM!!!

1.5 TB SD card … You know this wouldn’t be an issue if the Switch was compatible with NVMe.

This card is terrible for gaming. It is a U1 card, it has awfully slow write speeds and it will take forever to actually install anything onto your Switch or Steam Deck compared to using a U3 card. Your entire gaming experience will be slowed down immensely compared to using, for example, a U3-A2 1TB microSD. Kinda shitty for people to promote a card like this based purely on the storage capacity without mentioning the fact it is not designed for gaming and is incredibly SLOW. It is NOT the "fastest microSD" card, it is the "fastest 1.5tb microSD card". Big difference in those two claims.

Lol, I can remember when we where able to format more than 1.44mb on a floppy card with elite hax and we thought we where porn stars.

With my 400+ Switch games in my library ( mostly digital) this will come in handy! 😅

The phone image used in the packaging though... Old af

Sequential read/write does not prove it's usable in a Steam Deck or a Switch, you want good random 4k R/W for games and apps, and this being a A1 card, I have a feeling they are not that good... Maybe if they make a A2 version we will see... I don't really understand what would be the designed use case for these, too slow for games, maybe ok for storage, but who would trust that cheap flash with 1.3 TB of their data ? certainly not me !

[@star1child109]

Just wish they had a 2TB version for the Switch. Also a little sceptical about this 1.5TB Ultra card as some reviews on Amazon complain about the card being slow for loading Switch games, with one person stating they were going back to their 1TB Extreme Pro card because it was faster.

I was expecting a review (don't know why), but instead I found the typical: Blablablabla blablabla 150 MB/s blablabla blablabla bla 22 MB/s blablabla blablabla. Btw, that's a downgrade because the other larger Ultras do 30 MB/s.
