The Nintendo Switch console has become a best seller and, with almost total security, the best portable console that has ever been put on sale. The case is that it is possible to use various accessories to get the most out of it, such as Bluetooth controllers or memory cards. If he intends to buy one of these, we show you what you should take into account to be right in your choice.
The utility of these accessories is to increase the storage capacity of the console when it comes to storing all kinds of information , so we are talking about something that sooner or later is necessary due to the use of the Nintendo Switch. Therefore, it is quite common that you intend to buy one of these products.
Storage capacity is essential
This is vital to make a good investment, the compatibility offered by the console is up to 2 TB, but the truth is that it is not necessary to reach this amount to make a good purchase. Right now, the models that offer a better investment combined price and capacity, are those that offer 128 GB . With these, the increase in space is considerable and are usually more than enough for most users. Therefore, it is the most sensible choice in our judgment.
Once this is clear, the next step is to check the quality that the microSD card offers when it comes to working, either when copying information or, most commonly, when reading what is inside. There are certain options that if complied with allow us to be sure that a purchase is made that will meet minimum performance standards … and therefore a good user experience will be achieved. This is what should always exist in the model you buy for Nintendo Switch:
- Must be Class 10 compliant to ensure smooth operation
- Comply with U1 or U3 standard to be sure that data transfer is optimal
- Wide resistance to avoid problems when traveling. An example is that it does not withstand humidity and X-rays (common in airports).
Other possibilities to check
One of the essentials is that an adapter is included with the card to convert it to SD . In this way, it can be used natively on computers and work comfortably with the data that is stored (to copy inside, simply, read the existing data). In this way, it is certain that all the options that are in the head by users are possible to perform with the device that is purchased by Nintendo Switch.
Obviously one of the virtues that microSD cards offer is their wide compatibility , and this is something that should be purchased by those that are purchased to cover all options for the future. Thus, for example, it must be possible for performance to use the accessory in Android smartphones and, also, in laptops that offer a slot for this type of device (they are usually the cheapest). This will avoid unpleasant surprises.
