Lexar Play Pro 512GB microSDXC Express Card $143.20 Delivered @ digiDirect Store eBay

340
DIGIOFF

Finally a decent price for a card higher that 256gb. Picked this up a couple days ago for $149 so dropped even further which is nice.

Will probably drop further than this on Black Friday sales and over time but this is a decent price for those needing it now with all of these game key cards on Switch 2.

Edit: probably worth mentioning as well this detects on my Switch 2 at 465GB available storage. I've heard the SanDisk equivalent has more storage available to use but much more expensive

    Eb games sells a rebadged lexar for $118

      That listing has been out of stock for a while, and I personally think the extra $15 to get it 100% from a trusted brand as opposed to getting a binned card with lower speeds etc is well worth it.

        I don't think in real world practice that whatever margin of "lower speed" these binned lexar cards will inhabit is enough to create a difference for just trying to run games on a Switch.

          Durability is also affected as well which is important for a console that will likely last 7+ years. Apparently some have done rewriting tests on it and reported iffy failure rates after only a couple full rewrites of the card.

          Best just to go with a trusted brand with warranty etc until we know that the Atrix can stand the test of time

          And the fact that it has been out of stock for a while lol

          • @ThatNintendoKid: I don't really think of Lexar as a trusted brand any more though. Wasn't it bought out?

            • @justtoreply: Lexar name is now own by Longsys. Stick to the two Ss for reliability.

          • @ThatNintendoKid: If the card fails while in warranty take it back to EB games, why are you acting like these Atrix cards are some sketch grey market hardware.

  • Is this better value than a 512gb patriot or silicon Power card for $50?

    • This is sd express, which uses pcie and is much faster

      • And if you don't use it in an SD express device, it falls back to the slower UHS-I spec (UHS-II cards use a second row of pins that would clash with the second row of pins in an SD express card)

  • Aside from the Switch do you get the speed advantages in a regular laptop card reader? Or it needs new hardware?

    • +1

      SD Express (speeds) needs to be explicitly supported by both card and host.

    • It falls back to the slower UHS-I spec, which is slower than UHS-II that faster non-express cards support. A reader would need to be explicitly for SD express to support the high speed

      • A lot of laptops' built-in SD/MicroSD card readers would likewise not support the UHS-II standard, so they'd be limited by UHS-I speeds too.

        Though at least for now, it is definitely much cheaper to get MicroSD readers that has UHS-II compatibility compared to ones with MicroSD Express.

    Just counted mine up. So there's probably a few screenshots and stuff, but I have 339.6gb of games installed on mine, with 136gb remaining. So 475gb is apparently what you get with the EB Atrix ones.

    • Just off the top of my head, I seem to recall reading that the 256GB/512GB Atrix are OEM/rebadged versions of the Sandisk, while the 1TB Atrix is Lexar.

        They're all Lexar. I have a 512GB Atrix and it's carrying the Lexar/Longsys oemid/mfid, while I saw on reddit that their 256GB ones are also the same.
