As one of the most commonly used storage devices, microSD cards, also known as TF cards, are widely used in digital devices such as mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, dash cams, and smart cameras due to their small size and easy to use. Due to technical and technological reasons, the previous microSD card capacity was generally not large, and most of them were under 1TB.
As a leading brand in the field of storage, Kioxia was born out of Toshiba Memory, and has one of the world's largest AI-powered semiconductor factories, accounting for more than 30% of the world's flash memory production, and its storage products are stable and reliable. With years of technology accumulation in the storage field, Kioxia has successfully stacked 16 1TB 3D flash memory chips within a thickness of 0.8 mm, thus turning the maximum 2TB specification supported by SDXC into a reality, Kioxia has completed the SDXC specification challenge defined by the SD Card Association, and successfully developed and manufactured microSD cards with a capacity of up to 2TB.
As a Switch player, I haven't had enough space on my device recently, so I'm ready to buy a microSD card to expand. Based on the principle of stability, reliability, high speed and large capacity, I chose the KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G2 microSD memory card with a capacity of 2TB, because the Switch itself supports a maximum capacity expansion of 2TB, so you don't have to worry about running out of space. Not only the capacity is large, the speed is also fast enough, UHS speed level is U3, application level A1 and video speed class V30, which can easily meet the shooting needs of 4K video, the official read rate is 100M/s, the write rate is 90M/s, after 3 measurements, the continuous read rate is 97M/s, and the continuous write rate is 89M/s, regardless of the test error, it is consistent with the official one.
In addition to the speed test with the software, we prepared 32GB files and copied them to a G2 microSD card to see how they actually performed. The write rate has been relatively stable, maintained at about 85MB/s, the rate fluctuation range is very small, and when it is slow, it is close to more than 80M/s, and the whole copy process is maintained for about 6 minutes, and the rate does not fluctuate significantly, which shows that this Kioxia 2TB microSD card is very stable.
I turned off the Switch, then installed the 2TB Kioxia microSD card on the Switch, and it was ready to use as soon as it was turned on. We go to Settings - Data Management and can see that the memory card has a capacity of 1.8T. The games in the Switch are generally no more than 10G, that is, according to the average capacity of 10G per game, this Kioxia microSD card can easily fit 180 games, in fact, most games are less than 10G, so more than 200 games can be easily installed, and there is no need to worry about which game to keep and which to delete because of lack of space!
In the data transfer between the host unit and the SD card, you can move the data stored in the host computer to the SD card. Let's first choose to move the two games to the microSD card,The size of the game is about 12G,It takes about 5 minutes,After the move is completed,Let's open the two games we just moved to test it,The startup rate is basically the same as the installation inside the console,The smoothness of the game can't be helped,The experience is still very good。
A microSD card the size of a fingernail can achieve a large capacity of 2TB, and the Kioxia 2TB large-capacity microSD card can meet the needs of high-capacity people such as Switch handheld players like me, drone aerial photography enthusiasts, HiFI music enthusiasts, etc. In addition to large capacity, in terms of protection, it has multiple protections such as cold and heat resistance, waterproof, impact-proof, anti-static, X-ray-proof, anti-overheating, and anti-deflagration, which can easily cope with various complex use environments. At the same time, its compatibility is also very good, mobile phones, tablets, action cameras, game consoles and drones and other devices can be widely compatible, and it also provides a 5-year warranty, no worries. If you also need a high-capacity microSD card, then this Kioxia EXCERIA PLUS G2 microSD memory card is definitely the best choice for you.
