The Nintendo Switch 2 helped accelerate the microSD Express standard, encouraging manufacturers like Samsung to launch incredibly fast storage cards that were barely larger than your finger. The P9 Express is the company’s first range to utilize the PCIe NVMe protocol to deliver speeds of up to 800MB/s, with capacities of 256GB and 512GB starting from only $44 on Amazon. It is an inexpensive way to say goodbye to your slower and headache-inducing microSD cards.
The P9 Express microSD Express cards are 4x faster than regular storage cards, and have a 6-proof protection to boost reliability and longevity
Let us start by saying that you won’t experience any size compatibility problems with the Samsung P9 Express because these microSD Express cards occupy the same footprint as traditional microSD cards. Since you’re getting a tremendous speed boost, we doubt you’re going to wait around waiting for someone else to pounce on this deal. The 256GB version is going for $44 on the online retailer, with the higher-capacity 512GB variant listed for $119.
Both of these microSD Express cards are backwards compatible with devices supporting the microSD UHS-I standard, but you’re going to miss out on the speed boost. Samsung has also incorporated its Dynamic Thermal Guard on the P9 Express, which reduces overheating to prevent throttling. You can purchase the 256GB or 512GB model with peace of mind because the P9 Express family comes with 6-proof protection: temperature-proof, magnet-proof, X-ray-proof, drop-proof, water-proof, and wearout-proof.
You also get a 3-year limited warranty in case something goes wrong. At the time of writing, only the Nintendo Switch 2 has adopted the newer and faster microSD Express standard, but it is obvious that the advantages mentioned above suggest that more companies will utilize this technology in their products. If you don’t own a Switch 2, we’d still recommend getting one of these for futureproofing purposes because a high-speed card for just $44 is honestly a killer deal.
