Performance notes

Independent tests have shown small performance differences between brands. PNY was slightly faster when moving games from the card back to the console’s internal storage, but a bit slower when writing games to the card. In practice those differences are usually only a few minutes and will be negligible for most players. SanDisk has been a consistent performer, but other tested cards are generally solid — choose the best capacity you can afford.

Tips

• If you want minimal hassle, buy the largest card within your budget.
• Check current prices and stock — deals change quickly during sales.
