Why you need a microSD card
Considering most modern Android smartphones, digital cameras and the Nintendo Switch require a microSD card for storage expansion, with the last nigh-on demanding one to play anything but the smallest of indie games, it’s a good idea to get a card in order to make the most of your devices.
A triple-A Switch game, for example, takes up between 5GB and 25GB of storage space, so getting your hands on a 128GB card means you can store more than 20 extra games. If you already own a Nintendo Switch you’ll know exactly how frustrating it can be to archive a game (uninstall it) just to play another.
One of the most important things to note is the speed – cards that boast speeds of 100Mb/s and above are ideal for Switch gaming, although you can opt for something a little slower if you don’t mind longer loading times.
