@@tim3172 No I would still argue that software and storage device capacities should be using binary units across the board, I don't care whether they display as TiB or TB for simplicity so long as the underlying units are all binary. 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).

[@PowerSynopsis]

This is definitely a pretty cool sd card. I dunno if I would actually need it for the Switch though since the games are a LOT smaller than other games and I buy mostly physical. I do have two highspeed 1Tb cards for two of my Switches because I do download some games that aren't available in physical form, or too expensive, or if it's just an Eshop-only release. As someone who used to save stuff to HDD and floppy disks, still I'm impressed with what we're able to do with storage capacity, cost, and physical size these days.

I think this kind of technology has been suppressed for decades. I remember working at Radio Shack back in 2005, and we had SD Cards that were up to 16GB (32GB months later). It literally took decades to see this kind of progress, and the speeds of SD cards haven't gotten any better. Sure, you can buy an SD cards that hold up to 1.5TB, but good luck using it for anything other than mass storage (such as music, movies, etc). It's not like the technology for higher transfer rates don't exist, but nearly every manufacturer refuses to sell these cards at higher capacity, because they get a lot more money from "professionals" who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars more for the added speed. We've been on the Class 10 transfer speed standard for well over fifteen years, and literally nothing ever changes. That's not what I would call progress.

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

I've had a U3-A2 1TB SD Card in my Steam Deck for about a year, and the performance in games that don't use modern streaming and compression (think PS5 SSD) is about the same as playing off the SSD, and the installs take significantly less time!

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).

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.

Dose Starfild play on the steam deck off a sd card or dose it still need the ssd?

Love it!! 1 year from now I'll get a silicon power or teamgroup one for 50 bucks

Nintendo said 2 months before the Switch launched that it’ll be able to support up to 2 TB of storage when they exist. Little did we know it wouldn’t be until the end of its VERY successful lifecycle that we get an 1.5 TB Micro SDXC card, with the 2 TB one having yet to come into existence. Hopefully it won’t be much longer until they do for the Switch 2! And people DEFINITELY won’t need it for the current Switch. 😂 Did get an 1 TB Micro SDXC for my Switch OLED the year it came out. This was when the shortages were still strong, so I consider myself very lucky when I got mine’s!!

This is nice that size released. At the moment. I am fine with me 1Tb on my switch and 2Tb on my Steam Deck.

What programs was used to test if real or fake?

Crazy how technology just doesn’t stop progressing

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!!!

[@stevenr.rodriguez9997]

That is such unbelievably huge storage, you could fit over 250 Mario Odyssey's on the card.

[@dolo.c4y972]

Might be overkill for my Switch, but will for sure pick one up for my Steam Deck.

[@ashleybrown3237]

I do need to update my storage/SD card. I'm not a super tech savvy person. Is there a way I can transfer the save data from my old SD card to a new one? I've ended up playing way more games than I ever thought I would 🤦‍♀️

I know that Nintendo will partner with SanDisk to make a custom-themed SD card for this, but what would it be themed around? 64G: Yoshi 128G: Mario 256G: Superstar 512G: Animal Crossing 1T: Zelda 1.5T: Either Pikmin or Splatoon 2/3?
