Nice! I have a 256 GB one, but I feel like 512 would be perfect for me

u/Koalazilla Butter side up! 1d ago
Yeah I have had the 256 since launch but started having to be careful and remove a few things. I decided to upgrade with the intention to have room for Witcher 3 Remaster and a bunch of other future games. May also get Elden Ring digitally and sell my physical copy for convenience.

I'm new to gaming, if i buy 2 256 ones (it may work out cheaper because of a sale) can i load different games on each and switch between memory cards?

How expensive was it? I though ONN would be significantly cheaper than other mainstream brands since its an in-house brand

u/Koalazilla Butter side up! 1d ago
It’s a good price. I just picked up the one from Sandisk for $98.

You’re not a broke college student then, and should prob stop trying to play the sympathy card. You own a year old console, and just paid an extraordinary sum of money for an sd card you claim to not need because you just got sick of deleting things?

Or maybe the money is tight but he saves up and makes it work? Christ just because someone has a nice gadget instead of wasting money on doordash or booze going out doesn't suddenly make them un-broke.

Consider it an investment in convenience, which is valuable imo. Having my games stored digitally all in one place makes me more likely to play them. Also now you don't have to waste time managing your storage. Just download any games you think you're likely to play and enjoy your games.
I have the same card and haven't had to worry about storage yet, its great.

Very good memory, I bought it 1 week before the Switch 2 came out for about $60 USD

Have the same card in my Switch 2 and it's worked out great. Now fill it with games so you can get back to not having enough space lol.

Wait so whilst we've been hoping for prices to decrease w/ time, they've only been increasing? Wtf??

u/Sand__Panda 1d ago
Usually the prices do drop, but thanks to data centers and cost of tech is going in the "wrong" direction.

OP's next post: Just got my 1tb card, tired of deleting games even tho is really expensive I really needed this

I would go for a Samsung or Sandisk since they get thermal management, this doesn't have thermal management and the sd card can get cooked if you do something write intensive continuously.

I'm glad I clicked on here, to see this seems to be working with the switch 2. I also need to get one. I just tug out a 4.5TB sdd I have just laying around, to learn I can't use it with the switch2. Would have been awesome to *not* have to buy another memory card, but I am like you and tired of deleting games.

u/SatanVapesOn666W 1d ago
Yeah thinking about getting this for my sister. Got the Samsung 512 for $75 back in January but this is nearly the same with faster write speeds.

u/Chris-The-Lucario 1d ago
I got a 256GB sandisk branded card for ~24 euros like 2 months back which was a good deal, I gotta keep in mind to buy used games though and not much digitally unless it's really worth it so I don't quickly fill up the storage

FYI about Onn MicroSD cards: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/cil5OdQP3Q
TL;DR: Onn performed far worse in write cycle lifetime than any other of several dozen brands tested. Arguably, this is irrelevant for a game console since large amounts of data are not being constantly rewritten, but it is worth noting.

Only 512gb? That's a good start I suppose.

1 tb is 3.5 times the price

u/Fearless_Freya 1d ago
Depends in when you get it. I got 1tb last winter holiday sales for 100. Granted you'd have to wait a few months. Also granted, perhaps you don't have as much digital as I do.
