The future of mobile storage solutions is here: With the new generation of its microSD Express Flash memory cards, PNY is launching a groundbreaking storage technology specifically designed for high-end gaming and modern technology devices – including the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. With significantly increased speed, high storage capacity and robust design, the product is aimed at those who do not want to compromise on performance and reliability.
The cards are based on microSD Express technology and promise up to 4.4 times faster transfer rates compared to conventional UHS-I microSD cards. At the same time, they remain fully backwards compatible – a great advantage for users who want to continue using their existing hardware.
- Read speed of up to 890 MB/s for lightning-fast loading of games and apps
- Write speed of up to 750 MB/s, ideal for large amounts of data and fast transfers
- Compatible with Nintendo Switch 2 and older UHS-I and UHS-II devices
- Available with 128 GB or 256 GB capacity from 44.99 USD
High-speed performance for next-gen gaming
With the integration of the PCIe Gen3 x1 interface, PNY’s new microSD Express series achieves transfer rates that were previously only common in SSDs. For gamers, this means significantly shorter loading times, smoother gameplay and no more annoying waiting times – even for graphics-intensive AAA titles. Especially in the mobile sector or on consoles such as the expected Nintendo Switch 2, this ensures a remarkable increase in performance.
The superiority of microSD Express technology is also evident when writing large amounts of data – for example when saving high-resolution screenshots, videos or game updates. With a write speed of up to 750 MB/s, content can be transferred in seconds. Thanks to the V30 Video Speed Class, even 4K recordings are no problem.
Compatibility and backward support
Despite the enormous increase in performance, the cards do not lose their flexibility. The microSD Express cards are fully compatible with microSD Express host devices such as the Nintendo Switch 2 and are also backwards compatible with UHS-I and UHS-II devices. This means that anyone currently using older consoles or smartphones can already use the new cards – albeit at a reduced speed.
This makes the investment particularly future-proof. Users can rely on a storage solution that works with both current and future hardware. A simple upgrade of the storage without having to purchase the entire infrastructure from scratch.
Focus on stability and longevity
PNY has designed the cards not only for performance, but also for resilience. They are protected against a wide range of environmental influences: magnet-resistant, shock-proof, temperature-resistant, waterproof, drop-proof, X-ray-proof and moisture-proof. This makes them particularly suitable for mobile use, traveling or daily gaming on the go.
Intelligent thermal management also ensures constant performance even during prolonged use. Built-in temperature monitoring and automatic performance adjustment keep the cards cool and efficient – even under load.
Conclusion: Super-fast memory for a new generation of gaming
The PNY microSD Express cards set new standards in terms of speed and versatility. Whether for the Nintendo Switch 2 or existing devices, the cards are a powerful upgrade for anyone looking for maximum performance and reliability. With prices starting at 44.99 USD (128 GB) and 55.99 USD (256 GB), they are available now on pny.com and amazon.com. If you want to take full advantage of the next generation of gaming, these cards are a must-have.
