SanDisk showcased a 1TB microSD Express card at Gamescom this year, positioning the product for next-generation handhelds including Nintendo's Switch 2.
The announcement arrives as larger, install-heavy titles place growing demands on console storage, and as hardware makers and accessory vendors push higher-capacity, faster removable media.
SanDisk’s 1TB microSD Express: pricing and availability
SanDisk’s 1TB microSD Express card has been listed in select markets, including the United States, through SanDisk’s Amazon storefront.
Notebookcheck reported the card carries an MSRP of $429 and is currently being offered at a reduced price of $359 in certain stores.
SanDisk presented the card at Gamescom, highlighting its performance characteristics for devices that support the microSD Express standard.
Device compatibility and why it matters
According to coverage from Nintendo Life, the Nintendo Switch 2 supports microSD Express cards up to 2TB and ships with 256GB of internal storage.
SanDisk representatives framed the 1TB card as a solution for users who need additional space on newer systems, while noting the card’s broader compatibility with other devices that accept the microSD Express form factor.
Rewritten reporting of notable statements
SanDisk described the 1TB microSD Express card as being aimed at next-generation handheld consoles such as the Switch 2 but emphasized that the product is not limited to a single platform.
Notebookcheck’s listing shows the card already available in select regions and reflects the current advertised pricing.
Nintendo Life has pointed out the practical motivation for larger cards: modern releases with large install sizes mean many users will be looking to expand onboard storage.
Context for Switch 2 owners and prospective buyers
With major titles like Final Fantasy XIV Online already available on the Switch 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 scheduled to arrive in October, users expanding their libraries may find higher-capacity microSD Express cards useful.
For Switch owners, the combination of 256GB internal storage and expandable microSD support means aftermarket cards can be essential for large digital collections.
Buyers considering a microSD Express card should verify device compatibility, current pricing and regional availability through official retailer listings.
