If you want to choose a suitable memory card, you must first understand the specific meaning of the logo on the memory card.
Because all switch memory cards have the same standard, I will take a common memory card as an example to explain the meaning of each icon in detail.
1.①⑧ brand
Samsung EVO PLus represents the brand and model name of the memory card.
① Samsung is the brand logo.
⑧EVO PLus is a model.
2.②③ Capacity
② Obviously, the capacity of a memory card is 64GB, and xxGB on a general memory card represents the capacity of the card.
③micro SD xc logo
This sign refers to the capacity level of the memory card. General memory cards are divided into three grades, namely micro SD, micro SD HC and microshdxc.
Micro SD means that the card capacity is below 2GB, micro SD HC means that the card capacity is between 2 GB and 32 GB, and micro SD XC means that the card capacity is between 32 GB and 2 TB.
This sign is just a label. Pay attention to the specific capacity when buying, and don't care too much about this label.
④ The "I" sign on the memory card indicates that this card completely uses the UHS-I standard interface.
UHS is a high-speed interface, which is indicated by "I" or "II" on the memory card.
UHS- I can write up to 95MB/s and read up to104mb/s.
The maximum writing speed of UHS-II is 280MB/s and the maximum reading speed is 312mb/s.
4.⑤ ⑦ Writing speed sign
⑤U3 symbol, representing UHS speed, is the full name of UHS speed grade. Generally, U 1 and U3 represent the lowest writing speed, U 1 represents the lowest writing speed 100 MB/s, and U3 represents the lowest writing speed of 30 MB/s. ..
⑥A2 stands for APP performance level, which is used to identify the reading and writing performance of the application. The memory card is marked with A 1 and A2.
The full names of A 1 and A2 identification authentication are application performance level 1 and application performance level 2, that is, application performance level 1 and level 2. This level parameter is convenient for smart devices such as Android to select the performance level of the memory card for capacity expansion. The minimum reading and writing speed of A 1 and A2 is10mb/s. If it is used to install applications, A2-class memory card is preferred.
⑦ ⑦V30 logo V in V30 stands for video speed class, which is the most important indicator for friends who use cameras. The number after V is the lowest writing speed, and V30 represents the lowest writing speed of 30mB/s. The general video speed levels are V6, V 10, V30, V60 and V90.
l? Selection skills of switching memory cards
1.? Capacity selection
With the development of the game, the game capacity of many beautiful scenes often reaches more than 10GB. For example, the latest "Tears of the Kingdom of the legend of zelda" needs 16GB, and "Apocalypse of Resident Evil" is as high as 25GB, so a large-capacity memory card is very necessary. Personally recommend a memory card with a capacity of 256GB, which can meet the needs of daily use.
2.? Reading and writing speed selection
At present, most memory cards on the market can meet the switching requirements, but it is still recommended to choose a memory card with a reading speed of 100MB/s and a writing speed greater than 90 MB/s.
3.? Brand selection
Both Switch and sandisk have introduced special memory cards for Switch, but the cost performance is relatively general, such as 5 12G, and the sandisk Switch version is 399 yuan.
However, it is cheaper to read a Samsung white card with the same capacity of 5 12G and 130MB/s, which can be bought for about 250 yuan.
So if you don't mind, you can choose a memory card of the same level as SanDisk, Samsung or Kingston as an alternative to the official memory card.
