microSD Express memory cards are quite a rare breed. They are significantly faster and more expensive than regular memory cards thanks to the PCIe interface, and not that many devices require fast speeds. However, with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, demand for microSD Express cards increased. And if you happen to need one for your Nintendo Switch 2 or another gadget that supports fast microSD cards, you can now get one from PNY for just $99, which is currently one of the cheapest microSD Express cards on the market.
By using the PCIe Gen 3x1 interface, this microSD from PNY can reach speeds of up to 890 MB/s read and 810 Mb/s write. This lets you run next-gen games on the Nintendo Switch 2 and transfer files significantly faster on compatible devices. PNY claims that this memory card is about 4.4 times faster than a typical UHS-I card. It is also worth noting that microSD Express cards are compatible with slower standards, which means you can use them in conventional devices like phones or laptops, should you need that.
In addition to fast speeds and plenty of space for your games and data, PNY designed the card with durability in mind. Its microSD Express cards are protected from shock, temperature, water, drops, x-rays, humidity, and wearout. Also, you get a limited lifetime warranty on each card.
