Switch should have an advantage on random access times though.

In general... The Switch isn't breaking 90MB/s of bandwidth regardless if it is cart or MicroSD... And because of such, the mechanical drives in the consoles are actually faster at sustained reads and writes. (The Optical Disks are much slower than all of them however.)

As do all flash based technology since they have the lower access latencies ... 

@Bold You can say that again since Nintendo hardly gives a damn about how fast their cartridges are if their willing to use monstrosity such as this ... (1-bit bus width, 45 MHz clock all for a whopping 5.6 MB/s!) 

My internet is faster at downloading than their 3DS cartridge read speads LOL ... (I wouldn't rule out Switch carts being possibly slower)
