Hey, with the talk of the Nintendo Switch accepting Micro SDXC cards and up to 2tb in size, I was curious as to what is the best one to get (value/price)

It appears that 256 is basically the max available. It's spendy, so 128 is probably the best bet value wise. Like price differenc of near $200 vs $50.

But then you get into the technical stuff. Like the read/write speeds. Do we have any tech ideas on the switch. Is there a limit on what they read at, or what speed do games read data at. I don't want a card that is limiting. Some cards have read speeds of like 40 and others like in the 90's.  That is a big difference in speed. But no point in spending more money if the Switch caps out at 30 or 40 or something. I know some phones that do.

For example the Samsung line of cards has like a Pro series, an evo+ and Evo Select and so on series of cards at various sizes.

So for those out there looking to digitize their games on Switch and purchase an microSD card for that purpose, what does the tech savy people say?
