SanDisk TB MicroSD Card For Steam Deck And Switch Is Only For Black Friday

The SanDisk Ultra works without a hitch on Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, and it's also one of the most reliable and popular microSD cards around.

Up until very recently, the 1.5TB card was the largest SanDisk offered, but now there's a 2TB SanDisk Extreme. The 2TB card is still selling for its full $210 list price--yeah, that's an extreme investment, especially since the 1TB SanDisk Extreme is on sale for $80.

The Extreme model offers up to 190MB/s transfer speed, while the Ultra is graded for 150MB/s--plenty fast enough for Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.

There's also the SanDisk Gameplay microSD, which was designed specifically for handheld gaming on Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and other devices. The Gameplay offers the same 190MB/s speeds as the Extreme and is on sale for $90 at Amazon.

There's also the SanDisk Gameplay microSD, which was designed specifically for handheld gaming on Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and other devices. In terms of specs, the Gameplay is in the same class and offers the same 190MB/s speeds as the SanDisk Extreme. While we haven't compared performance between the two, we suspect they are identical. The SanDisk Gameplay does look snazzy, though. The 1TB model is on sale for $90 at Amazon for Black Friday.

SanDisk has a range of officially licensed microSD cards imprinted with characters and emblems from popular Nintendo franchises. One of the newest additions to that lineup is this 1TB Pokemon-themed card, which appropriately features Snorlax.

All of the Nintendo-themed cards carry higher prices than the regular SanDisk cards. You're saving over $50 off this card's launch price, but you're essentially paying the same price for 1TB as you would for 1.5TB. This card has a read speed of up to 100MB/s, so it's not as fast as the Ultra either. On Nintendo Switch this won't make a difference, but if for some reason you want a Pokemon-themed microSD for your Steam Deck, the drop in speed is worth keeping in mind.

Amazon is also offering a big discount on the 1TB SanDisk card featuring the Royal Crest from The Legend of Zelda. In terms of performance, the Zelda-themed microSD card is identical to the Snorlax model, but it's on sale for only $85.
