So, I recently downloaded FF7 Remake on my Switch 2, and as we all know, it has an ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE file size - 90 gigabytes(!) My Switch 2 now has like two gb left in its internal storage. So, I've been looking into a MicroSD card. On a $180-200 NZD* price range, should I get a 512gb or a 1tb card? Thanks for any replies!

*110-120 USD, 80-88 pounds.

@MoldyPasta for that price range the only card you'll be able to find is a 512. It's what I have, and is big enough for now. I still need to offload games, but I can hold FF7 plus many more. If I want to hold every game in my library, I'll need a 2TB+ card, but it's big enough to hold anything that I am currently playing. With the price of the 1TB cards, I'll likely be sticking to the 512's for a while, and am fine having them in rotation.

And make sure that you pick up a Micro SD EXPRESS card...be careful when ordering online, as some cards will try to trick you. It has to be an express card...if you see a 1TB card for your price range, it is likely not going to work. If it does work, share the link, because the lowest I've seen is $200+ which is way more than I'm willing to spend (USD).

In my case, it's the same. I was lucky enough to snag a cheap 512GB SD Express card, and I'm doing fine so far, although with everything I've bought, I'm already down to 150GB free, which I'll save for Requiem.

Even so, I consider it a huge mistake to have everything you buy downloaded. I made the same mistake on Steam and realized it's more practical to have your own little garden, and if you want to eat something, you just pick it (I hope you understand the analogy).
