Compatible microSD cards for Nintendo Switch OLED

by

The Switch OLED is a new premium model of the Nintendo Switch. If you are looking for the best compatible microSD cards to use with this new console, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech.

How much internal storage memory does the Nintendo Switch OLED comes with?

The Switch OLED comes with 64 GB of internal storage memory, which is twice as much as the original Nintendo Switch model as well as the portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite.

What memory cards are compatible with Nintendo Switch OLED?

The Switch OLED only supports microSD cards. Other types of cards, such as SD cards, won’t fit into this system.

What microSD card formats and capacity are supported by Nintendo Switch OLED?

The following microSD cards format are compatible with the OLED model of the Nintendo Switch:

  • microSD (capacity: up to 2 GB)
  • microSDHC (capacity: 4 GB to 32 GB)
  • microSDXC (capacity: 64 GB or more)

What are the microSD card speed requirements of Nintendo Switch OLED?

When it comes to the speed requirements, your microsSD card must be using the UHS-I (also known as the Ultra High-Speed Phase I).

Furthermore, your card must have a read/transfer speed of at least 60 MB per second.

The maximum read/transfer speed is 95 MB per second, which Nintendo recommends as it will lead to faster loading and game transfer speeds.

While there are microSD cards that have faster speeds than 95 MB per second, the Switch OLED won’t take advantage of the excess speed due to other bottlenecks on the game system.

What data can be saved on the microSD card of Switch OLED?

The following file types can be stored on a microSD card of the Nintendo Switch OLED Model:

  • Downloadable games
  • Game update data
  • Downloadable content (DLC)
  • Captured screenshots
  • Captured videos

What data can’t be saved on the microSD card of Switch OLED?

You can’t store any saved data on the microSD card of the Nintendo Switch OLED. Instead, the save files can only be stored on the 64 GB internal storage of the system and backup over the cloud storage.

The cloud storage requires a Nintendo Online subscription. Furthermore, not all games support cloud backups for saved data.

Can you use multiple microSD cards with Switch OELD?

While the Switch OLED only comes with one microSD card slot, you can alternate using different microSD cards with the console.

The only limitation is that you won’t be able to combined the games you have stored on a microSD card with the games you have stored on another microSD card without transferring all the data from one card to another.

For that reason, Nintendo recommends using a single microSD card, preferable one that has a big capacity so that you won’t run out of space.

What is the officially licensed microSD card for Switch OELD?

Nintendo does have a officially licensed microSD card for the Nintendo Switch OLED with the SanDisk Nintendo Switch microSDXC Card.

This memory card features a read/transfer speed of up to 100 MB per second along with a write speed of up to 90 MB per second.

This official card can also tolerate operating temperatures from -13°F to 185°F (or -25°C to 85°C) when in use as well as non-operating temperatures from -40°F to 185°F (or -40°C to 85°C) when not in use.

Last but not least, a lifetime limited warranty is also included.

This microSD card is available in the following capacities:

  • 64 GB (Model Number: SDSQXBO-064G-ANCZA)
  • 128 GB (Model Number: SDSQXBO-128G-ANCZA)
  • 256 GB (Model Number: SDSQXAO-256G-GNCZN)
  • 512 GB (Model Number: SDSQXAO-512G-ANCZN)

You can purchase the officially licensed Switch OLED memory card on Amazon via the following link:

What is the best microSD card for Switch OELD?

The best microSD card we recommend getting for the Switch OLED is the SanDisk Extreme microSDHC/microSDXC Card.

The SanDisk Extreme offers read/transfer speeds of up to 160 MB per second along with a write speed of to 90 MB per second.

It also has the same temperature tolerance and warranty coverage as the aforementioned officially licensed SanDisk Nintendo Switch microSDXC Card.

The most important factor that puts the SanDisk Extreme over the top is that it can be bought at the 1 TB capacity, which is twice the amount of space than the maximum capacity of the officially licensed card.

You can find a list of available capacities for this product below:

  • 32 GB (Model Number: SDSQXVF-032G-AN6MA)
  • 64 GB (Model Number: SDSQXA2-064G-AN6MA)
