5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a SanDisk Extreme! So it’s perfect.
December 17, 2018
I just purchased a Nintendo Switch at a Target, but I didn’t realize how bad I would be needing an SD card, so I checked in stores and they had this same exact card for over $60.00. So I checked up Amazon and long and behold I found it for $35.00! This was an amazing deal and I have to give it to Amazon they compete against everyone and I love it!

1.0 out of 5 starsError code 2002-4153 & 2005-0003
February 23, 2019
English is not my native language, I hope my words are understandable and helpful.

Looks like a few reviewers are having errors. Mine worked fine for a week. Then I started having Errors when I tried to open a downloaded game. Switch kept telling me the game had corrupted files so I Redownloaded again and again but the error never went away. It happened to many games but not all of them. But since a few days ago, I couldn’t even download any games from eshop, the error code indicated that the SD card is not working properly. Now I’m now in the process of returning this junk.

* card was inserted correctly, and the system has the latest updated version.
* tried restarting the console and formatting the card but didn’t help.
* errors were definitely not caused by the console. Here’s why: I downloaded Splatoon 2 into this card at first and it had errors, then I took out the card and downloaded into the concole, and the game worked properly. Same with any other games. Currently I’m using a new card from another brand, everything looks good so far.
* one more weird thing happened was when I checked out the storage, it said I have used over 50GB. But I only had 7 games! I added them up, the total used storage should be less than 30GB. I have no clue why it showed 20 more GB has been used. The largest game I had was Dragon ball with 7 GB and the rest only have a few GB like one or two. I clearly remember every game’s storage size that I’ve downloaded so I was so shocked when it tells me I’ve used almost half of the storage already.

Even it has a fair price and says licensed by Nintendo but somehow some people like me are having problems with it. This might not happen to you 100% so if you still want to try it, go for it. But if you start having errors with any of your games, return it, as soon as possible.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for the Switch, if you can find it on sale
February 11, 2019
Capacity: 128GBVerified Purchase
The main difference from this and a cheaper SanDisk Ultra, is this card is a U3 and the Ultra is U1. The U3 allows for faster installs and may save a few seconds on load times. The only reason I choose this card at the time was that it was on sale for only $3 more. I also get the awesome design along with 4x the storage space.
For those wondering why the free space on the card read 119, it is because of the way gigabytes are calculated.
The package has 1gb equaling 1,000,000,000 bytes. Really 1gb is 1,073,741,824 bytes. That 73,741,824 bytes (73.7 megabytes) missing per gigabyte. That really adds up.
All SD card and USB stick manufacturers use this calculation method; not just Sandisk.

5.0 out of 5 starsGrab a mushroom and grow with me.
January 8, 2019
Capacity: 128GBVerified Purchase
Last night, the memory card called out to me: Mario, save our princess, she’s in another castle and we can’t stand being without her anymore. I opened my eyes, and questioned if I really heard this or if my imagination was playing tricks on me. Since I cannot stand to hear mushrooms in distress, I immediately ran to the bathroom and grabbed my plunger. If it’s good enough for Mario, it’s good enough for me.

Then I turned on my switch, and beat the hell out of bowser in smash bros.

Cliff notes: this memory card, while pricier than others, is really cool and a bit nostalgic. But it works!

3.0 out of 5 starsStorage Capacity Lies. Not 64 GB, actually 59.4 GB.
January 15, 2019
Capacity: 64GBVerified Purchase
Package arrived on time, and putting the Micro SD card into my Nintendo Switch was easy with no setup other than a update.

My huge issue with this product is that the packaging indicates 64 GB of storage but when I looked at my storage on the Switch it showed 59.4 GB of storage available on the Micro SD card. I have no idea what could possibly take up 4.6 GB of storage. I have none of my Nintendo files saved to the card and it indicates nothing is stored on it but clearly shows less storage than advertised.

In the case that it uses that 4.6 GB for other necessary purposes then SanDisk should advertise the Micro SD card's storage capacity correctly at 59.4 or lie less and at most say 60 GB of storage.

Aside from being lied to about storage space the product works, and cost was really affordable.

I would not recommend this Micro SD card unless you don't care about nearly 5 GB not being available.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhy pay more for namebrand when you have a more frugal and equally functionable choice?
January 29, 2019
Capacity: 128GBVerified Purchase
After I heard that there were some products that caused the switch to malfunction or even burn out the SD port, I took tedious care in selecting the best product for what I needed. This SD card came in clutch, it's got a Nintendo switch logo, is fully endorsed, and was a lot cheaper than namebrand. I knew I could not go wrong in till this day, my switch is functioning like a dream. If you already made an investment in a switch, go the extra mile and purchase the extra memory for it, you're going to need it.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt’s about as good as this could get
February 26, 2019
Capacity: 128GBVerified Purchase
I’m assuming you’ve downloaded a couple games directly to your switch and your not buying games physically/ downloaded warframe and it’s taking all of your space like me it was confusing at first where to put this tiny SD card (smaller than a penny) but I’ll help you guys out if you don’t know already the stand on the back of your switch hides the slot for the card so flip your stand up and slide it in like the picture on your switch shows you and make sure it clicks in just like how you would put a game in

Note: you paid for 128 GB of storage but your switch still has to configure it to make it compatible so that’ll take some storage this happens to every kind of storage unit on almost any device you use so your really buying 120-119 of storage at least that’s what mine is left with
