  1. What do you think about these 1 and 2-terabyte cards on Amazon and the Walmart website that are like $10 to $20??? Is this a "too good to be true" kind of thing? Or do you think they're worth it? NEED to know ASAP, please, and thank you. Loved this video! Thanks for making it!

  3. Any idea if a Kingston canvas select plus would work fine in games? Just interested about potential stutter or texture loading. It should have 100mb read speed and 85 write speed.
    I can buy the 512gb for ~$50 in a local store.

  4. havent watched more than 8 seconds yet but felt lie sharing: i got a 1Tb alisinsen for, like, $17.99. forked fin at first, but now when i try anthing with it (transferring data, playing things off it that arent youtube), i get a corrupted data notification thing and get told to redownload. theeen it just repeats.

  5. iโ€™ve had a nintendo for 4 years and i have always been stuck with 32 gigs so i only have about 4 games and today i got a SP (Silicon Power) 512 gigabytes micro sd card and it has a reading speed of 100 MB/s and write speed of 80 MB/s and it was $30. i want to know if the one i got is reliable and a good brand. can anyone help?

  6. How you need to transfer the game back into the switch inorder to play it? Or can it play straight from the sd card? Such as a sandisk

  7. I bought a new switch AND a new card (more storage).

    I transferred the data from my old card to the PC, and back onto the new card in the PC. Then I put the new card into the new Switch (now Primary).

    The new card shows the data was transferred (120gb), but now I have to redownload all the games, which will be about another 90GBs.

    How did my old 128gb card turn into a 220gb card on my new switch?

  8. What if a card on amazon says 1TB or even 2TB? Should i trust it? Price was low, about $50 for the 2TB thats why i was skeptical and dont want to fuck up my switch OLED

  9. I bought my NS Oled and the seller told me that it's more safe in using a Nintendo SD card (w/ a nintendo logo) rather thaan using any other sd card

  10. Onn at Walmart that is the way I have had it for 2 years and it works wonderfully and I still canโ€™t fill up and it may be 1 second slower ( that means you have to wait a whole sec for &20.00 less)

  11. I have a 512 Samsung in my Switch Lite and a 1GB lexar in my OLED and both have been solid. I highly recommend sticking with the well known and reputable memory brands such as Sandisk, Samsung, PNY, and Lexar. I stay away from SP (Silicon Power) after one of their microsd cards failed and got so hot inside my retropie that it burned my hand after I ejected it. The one I replaced it with from a reputable brand worked fine.

  12. tysm for this as a bimbo gamer i just bought a cheap one off amazon to move my game files to for more space and the card didnt read into my switch. Luckily, I didnt lose anything but it was frustrating. Moral of the video is: Sandisk is ur bestie

  13. yeah off brand SD cards like sandisk is cheaper then nintendo brand. like when i went best buy to order online. there was a 1TB micro SD card sandisc for 200 dollers canada money. and for the nintendo brand it was 300 dollers for a 1TB micro SD card. i went with the biggest because my 256GB is full now. but it lasted me 4 years so thats really good. the 1TB micro SD card will last me the whole switchs life since switch 2 will be next year. i just hope switch 2 will still use micro SD card.
