With the 32GB storage being on a daughter board its pretty clear Nintendo had designed the Switch with regard higher capacity models, so we may see 64GB and 128GB models too and they seem to have designed the system so internal storage outperforms third party SD cards so those wanting the best performance will go with these premium Switch models. 32GB models will probably represent entry level at some point and new colours and special editions with higher capacity storage the premium end.

DigitalFoundry testet Zelda BotW load times from internal storage, cartridge and two different microSDXC cards. Internal Flash won by 10%. Disappointing was that cartridges and 80MB/s microSDXC seem to be at the same speed level.

But their test had some flaw: a theoretical faster microSDX (rated 110MB/s or so) was even slower then the 80MB/s one. Someone has to test the fastest microSDXC cards on the market which provide around 200MB/s. Would be great if those make a difference.

Or Nintendo could release the specs and we know for sure what bandwidth the external storage can provide...
