Performance notes

Independent testing shows microSD Express cards vary slightly in benchmarks, but real-world load times for most games are similar. In tests, PNY was slightly faster moving games from card to internal storage, while SanDisk led consistency overall — but no tested card performed poorly. If you’re buying during Prime Day, it makes sense to pick the best capacity you can afford.

Recommendation

If you want a one-and-done buy to store many games, opt for the highest capacity within your budget (512GB if it’s affordable). If you’re price-sensitive, the PNY 128GB at $38 is a good, affordable choice.
