The solution is to use an SD card. We all have a few spare laying around. 1TB and 1.5TB micro SD cards are cheaper than the Xbox 1TB proprietary cards.

I think people expecting all next-gen games to run off a slow SD card are in for a wake-up call. There's a reason PS5 and XS restrict next-gen games to SSD's and not USB HDDS. Storage expansion on Switch 2 may be more expensive than you think.

Or we're in for another gen with awful load times on a Nintendo console. The internal storage is 2100mb/s, a 100mb/s SD isn't going to cut it.

Switch 2 will use SD cards, but probably not the ones you've been using everywhere else.

Hopefully the dock also has an nvme slot or at least support for USB SSDs.

I think I will be fine running old Neo Geo games off an SD lol
