Silicon Power 1TB Superior Gaming Micro SDXC UHS-I (U3), V30 4K A2,High Speed MicroSD Card with Adapter, Design for Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Nintendo-Switch

Used in two RetroPie and they work great and at a great price

I bought this initially for $80 in mid-August. Now it's about $65 >.>Anywho, this sd card is amazing. I specifically got the "Game" version of the SD card, compatible with game systems like the Steam Deck and Switch. It's an A2 card with faster read/write speeds than A1 cards, like the SanDisk Ultra for instance. Loaded it up on my Switch and half is full already which is a good sign.Read and write speeds float around 30-35mb/s from testing via h2testw on Windows 10. Tested ALL of the available space, so I can vouch it's an authentic 1TB card.Installation is very simple. Just plop it into the card reader on your device and it shows up automatically. This surprised me since previous cards wouldn't be detected so easily.Something to note. You will not be using ALL of the 1TB card. It's merely a metric of measurement for SD card manufacturers to round it to a more appealing number. Think of it as marketing.Realistically, you'll be getting 923GB instead of the marketed 1,000GB's. So, "IT'S A SCAM" am I right? No, I'm actually not. The rest of the storage capacity is used for storage memory since you'll be inserting and taking out 923GB's worth of files constantly. That's normal and it happens with every other sd card size. 400GB cards for instance, you're only getting 366GB available.There's also the fact some devices measure storage units differently. An example, my card shows 665GB available while on my Nintendo Switch it only shows 620GB.It's practical and necessary for the most efficient use of the card.History Lesson:There have been prototypes of 1TB cards in the works for years, but it never became finalized. At least it hadn't until 2019 when the first ever 1TB SD cards would reach the market from both Lexar and SanDisk respectively. This was a large leap over the previous highest, 512GB cards.You can imagine the price, right? $100? $200? $350? It was actually priced around $450-$500 initially. Think about that. $500 for a 1TB SD card.And in 2023, this is the first time these cards have dipped below $100 making them very affordable now. $80 is already an excellent deal, but for $65? That's an immediate buy!As for this card, would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's fast, efficient, and about 15% of what they cost 4 years ago.Thanks for reading :)

I purchased this to get more space in my Nintendo switch. It's about as fast as the card it replaced but that card was from when I first got my switch years ago. It was a great value and I appreciate it for what it is. It's been in my switch for a few months now.

La compre precisamente para tener más espacio en mi Nintendo Switch y hasta ahora sin ningún problema la reconoció y pude almacenar algunos juegos, me parece razonable calidad precio

Do not buy for ALLY or steam deck!!! It makes the system act weird and you can’t install any games to it. They will always try to download then give error messages no matter how you format it. The quality is bad

I have two of these Silicon Power 1TB Gaming Micro SD cards and they work both on the asus ROG Ally and the Nintendo Switch. I have all my Nintendo Switch Games on the card and on the ROG Ally it expanded my storage to 2Tb which is very good if you have a large game library.Awesome!

I purchased this for my Steam deck so I could expand its memory and it works perfectly. It’s a really great price and it delivers of more space to same games and also speed when loading games. Don’t be put off by the cheaper price, this things works great.

This item, 2-pack of 256GB micro SD cards would've been given five stars, however, one of them gave me problems in my Samsung Galaxy phone where the phone couldn't detect it and I was forced to replace it with a different micro SD card. So far, the other SD card is working OK in another Samsung Galaxy phone I keep as a backup.
