The microSD Express standard is a godsend for all those who take advantage of the available microSD card slots but are unable to find their way around the sluggish performance. Thankfully, the introduction of the Nintendo Switch 2 changed all of that, even if these high-performance cards continue to be on the pricier side. Fortunately, the Samsung P9 Express won't make your wallet feel lighter because the 256GB microSD Express card is now a whopping 40 percent off on Amazon, bringing its price down to $47.99.
Keeping its footprint the same as traditional microSD cards, the P9 Express manages to obtain four times the performance of the older standard, thanks to leveraging the PCIe Gen 3 protocol, allowing it to reach sequential read speeds of up to 800MB/s. In short, any game installation booting from the P9 Express will fire up instantly, and the increased performance means you won't run into those annoying stutters or frame drops.
Unfortunately, microSD Express cards can also run hot, which is why Samsung has incorporated its Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) to maintain thermals and optimize performance. The P9 Express is also highly durable, with the company claiming that its microSD Express card is temperature-proof, drop-proof, magnet-proof, x-ray proof, waterproof, and wearout-proof, giving you peace of mind before you make up your mind about a purchase.
Also, before we forget, the P9 Express is also backwards compatible with older microSD standards, but don't expect to get the same read and write performance. For $47.99, Samsung's microSD Express card oozes excellent value, especially now when you learn that the 512GB model is going for an eye-watering $199.99. Even if you don't own a Switch 2, a microSD Express card purchase will provide some futureproofing for when you want to use it in other devices.
