SanDisk Rolls Out a New microSD Card with Top NVMe Speeds
SanDisk now has a microSD card made to move data as fast as a small SSD. This high-speed card is great for use in things like the Nintendo Switch 2, laptops, and action cameras. It also comes with a lifetime limited warranty.
Speed and Tech Details
The card's fast speed comes from its latest tech:
- Tech: Class 10, supports PCIe 3.1 NVMe and works with older UHS-I.
- Read Speeds: From 660 MB/s up to 880 MB/s.
- Write Speeds: Changes with size.
- 128 GB: 480 MB/s (100 MB/s steady).
- 256 GB & 512 GB: 650 MB/s (210 MB/s steady).
- Uses: Works well for recording 5.3K video and makes devices like the Nintendo Switch 2, tablets, and laptops load fast. A two-hour HD movie moves over in just 3.5 seconds.
Made for Tough Use
SanDisk made this card strong and reliable:
- Heat Safe: Works from -25 to +85 °C and stores in -40 to +85 °C.
- Stays Safe: Fights off water, falls, shocks, magnets, wear, and X-rays.
- Keeps Cool: Has ThermAdapt tech, using a special shell and a smart heat control to stop overheating during heavy use.
SanDisk Pro-Reader for Even Quicker Moves
To get the most from the card's speed, SanDisk put out the SanDisk Pro-Reader. This SD card reader cuts down on moving time. For instance, it can move a 60-minute 4K video 2.8 minutes quicker and 2,000 10-megapixel RAW photos 2.9 minutes quicker.

The new SanDisk microSD card costs $119. This includes a lifetime limited warranty and a two-year plan for the SanDisk RescuePro Deluxe file saving service.
