Our verdict

A very fast card for consoles, cameras and computers, listed as working with a Nintendo console. The top speeds need a matching device or reader, which is sold separately.

Overview

Handheld gamers and creators who want a card with fast load times and fast capture get a microSD Express card here, built on a PCIe NVMe interface. It also works in current UHS-I and UHS-II devices and supports high resolution video and RAW image capture.

Express speeds help with fast game loading and quick offloading when paired with a compatible device or reader. The limitation is that the full speed needs matching hardware.

Who it's for

Console gamers and creators using devices that support microSD Express are the target. Owners of older devices will not reach the headline speeds, and shoppers who only need basic storage can look at ordinary cards.

Pros
  • Very high read speed
  • Nintendo console compatible
  • Drop and water proof listing
  • Lifetime limited warranty
Cons
  • Full speed needs Express hardware

Performance notes

The card uses an Express interface, so read speeds reach the stated level only in compatible slots or readers. In older devices without Express support it works at the lower speeds those devices allow. A thermal controller is described to limit overheating.
