The highly anticipated next-generation game console Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch this week, ushering in a new era of gaming with revolutionary hardware upgrades, including a more powerful processor and enhanced graphics performance. This evolution promises gamers sharper visuals, faster speed, and content-rich gaming experiences. However, these benefits bring significantly larger file sizes and heightened read/write demands, posing unprecedented storage challenges. To meet these revolutionary storage needs, the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusively utilizes the SD Express 7.1 microSD memory card. ADATA Technology, a leading memory brand, is primed with its Premier Extreme microSDXC SD Express 7.1 memory card, featuring industry-leading speeds of up to 800MB/s read and 700MB/s write, coupled with a generous 512GB capacity, to deliver an unparalleled experience for gamers.

ADATA microSD Express 7.1 Memory Card: Ultimately Unleashing the Potential of Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2’s revolutionary hardware upgrades empower game developers to craft masterpieces with more exquisite visuals, grander worlds, and deeper content. Yet, the accompanying surge in game file sizes presents a formidable challenge for Switch 2’s internal storage. The SD Express 7.1 standard, with its PCIe Gen3 x1 interface and NVMe protocol, delivers read/write efficiency 2.7 times that of UHS-II microSD cards,[1] emerging as the key to unlocking this next-generation console's true potential. The ADATA Premier Extreme SD Express 7.1 microSDXC memory card incorporates the Silicon Motion SM2708 SD Express controller, which successfully validated by Switch 2 compatibility testing. Boasting industry-leading 800/700 MB/s read/write speeds, it will dramatically shorten Nintendo Switch 2 game download and installation times, accelerate the application of update packages, and enhance the smoothness of file saving and high-definition video capture – comprehensively optimizing the entire gaming journey. This allows players to fully unleash their console's capabilities without being constrained by storage bottlenecks.
