Dunno, works fine on mine though

U3 cards are the fastest and they work fine with Switch.
U1 is second best after U3 (there is no U2).
In terms of speed:
U3 > U1 => Class 10 > Class 6 > Class 4 > Class 2
Official Switch branded cards by SanDisk are U3, Nintendo recommends Class 10 or better for optimal use.

if I can recall switch's micro sd card reader is capped at some slow speed but it shouldn't make a difference for actual gameplay.
Logan Richardson
Wtf is all that U => class stuff
Gavin Robinson
I'm just trying to get the fastest 400 gig without spending on speed the Switch can't use.
Eli Torres
=> means that it equals or is better than
U1 is technically faster than Class 10 but in devices that don't support U-class it functions equal to a Class 10 card.
Those are just names of the speeds.
U3 Class
U1 Class
Class 10
Class 6
Class 4
Class 2
Class 2 is the slowst, U3 Class is the fastest.

It isn't capped actually, there's speed tests that prove that it can utilize U3 speeds, here's a good source:

Then you want U3 since it's the fastest option available but the speed gains over U1 aren't very big for installed games, the difference is only big if you're using pirated XCI roms.
You do however want U1 minimum if you want decent speed.
Ryan Martinez
But, what is the fastest speed my Switch can take advantage of?
Caleb Hill
I literally already told you here U3 is the fastest and Switch can take advantage of it, see
Levi Reyes
Hmm. But it's not worth the cost over U1, eh?
Carson Ortiz
If you're not going to be using XCIs or installing large NSPs then no, it isn't really worth the cost of U3 vs the cost of U1.
If you plan on using XCIs or installing a lot of large games as NSPs (as in piracy) then you might want U3 to save yourself some time since it really adds up especially with NSP install times.

I am going to be using this on a legit Switch. No hacking.
Michael Gomez
U1 then, U3 only truly benefits piracy.
For legit use you will see only 1-2 second differences in loading times so the much higher cost of U3 is not worth it if you're legit.

Cool. Thank you.

>400 GB micro SD for that price
What's the catch?
Ryder Ortiz
YOU CANNOT FIT 400GB ON SOMETHING SO SMALL.
Connor Morgan
when something is that cheap it means YOU are the product. Most SD cards come with tiny bits of spyware code written on them
Sebastian Stewart
it's not actually 400gb. it's more like 364gb.
Oliver Thompson
Releases small traces of mustard gas
Aaron Martinez
Every phone has spyware in a chip on it, stop using any electronics and start living in a cave. Nobody cares about you, you are unimportant.
Aaron Gutierrez
we must go deeper
Elijah Peterson
There are 1TB MicroSD cards now user.
Benjamin Cox
This. It feels like false advertising at times, but I guess "364GB with 36gb reserved for processing/formatting" doesn't look as good on labels.
Joseph Harris
the 1Tb cards work.
