Nintendo Switch 2 owners can now upgrade their storage using two specific deals from Walmart’s onn brand. The 256GB microSD Express card is priced at $49.50, while the larger 512GB version costs $84.77. These are currently the lowest prices available for these models in the market. Although a 128GB card might suffice temporarily, experts suggest the 256GB option offers the best balance of capacity and cost.<\/p>\n

The onn 256GB card features read speeds up to 800 MB\/s and write speeds up to 600 MB\/s. These performance metrics place it in its class alongside competitors. With this storage, users can store approximately twenty Nintendo Switch 2 first-party games or around six AAA titles. The cost per gigabyte for the 256GB model is $0.18, making it an attractive choice for those with a strict budget under $50.<\/p>\n

For those willing to spend more, the onn 512GB card provides double the capacity at a price of $84.77. It matches the smaller card’s performance with read speeds up to 800 MB\/s and write speeds up to 600 MB\/s. This model costs $0.16 per GB, offering better value if users can afford the additional $35.17 compared to the 256GB option. Walmart backs both cards with a limited one-year warranty.<\/p>\n
