With today’s rising demand for memory chips in general, even universally used memory products like MicroSD Express cards are difficult to find at decent prices. Fortunately, Walmart has got you covered, at least for the time being. Currently, you can pick up a 512GB Samsung ImageMate Micro SDXC Card for a very reasonable price of $39.98 with free shipping. An SD card adapter is also included. Note that this can be used as a memory card for most gaming handhelds including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and ROG Ally, but not the Switch 2.
Note: Availability is based on region. Some zip codes might have more in stock than others.
512GB SanDisk ImageMate Micro SDXC Card for $39.98
If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity is. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, some of it reserved for the OS. Some games require a huge portion of that space. Examples include Tears of the Kingdom which takes up 16GB of space, Monster Hunter Rise 20GB, Breath of the Wild 13.5GB, and Persona 5 Royal 14GB. There’s only one memory card expansion slot in the Switch so you’ll want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford, although most people won’t need more than 1TB of additional storage.
The SanDisk ImageMate is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard, including the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and the ASUS ROG Ally. It has typical U1 A1 transfer speeds (up to 150MBps), which is totally fine for the Switch console, but may be a bit limited when used with devices that require huge on-the fly file transfers such as in 4K action cameras and 4K HDR streaming devices.
