Samsung P9 Express microSD Cards Now Available in the US

Last month, Samsung quietly revealed the specs sheet of P9 Express, its first-ever line of microSD Express cards. The new card offers next-level gaming experiences, especially on the Nintendo Switch 2. It is now available for purchase in the US through Samsung.com and select retailers.

Samsung’s P9 Express microSD Card offers faster performance

Based on SD Express technology, Samsung P9 Express uses the PCIe interface and NVMe protocol. This allows the card to reach sequential read speeds of up to 800 MB per second, about four times faster than conventional UHS-I cards. As a result, you get fast and reliable performance while storing all your favorite games and downloadable content.

“Our P9 Express microSD Express cards are ready to expand the storage of your device, delivering the speed, durability and efficiency you’ve come to expect from Samsung. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer who’s always expanding your library or a family all sharing the same console, our cards will help you overcome storage limitations and enjoy a wide variety of titles, without compromise,” said Jim Kiczek, Vice President of Memory Marketing at Samsung Electronics America.

The P9 Express supports Host Memory Buffer (HMB) and Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology. The former uses your host system’s memory to make data access faster, giving you excellent performance during gameplay. The latter helps control the card’s temperature, preventing it from overheating while maintaining consistent performance.

Furthermore, the P9 Express features 6-proof protection, safeguarding it against water immersion, extreme temperatures, X-rays, magnets, drops, and wear out. These strong protections ensure your games and files stay safe and secure. You also get a three-year limited warranty and access to Samsung Magician software.

So, if you are looking for the fastest microSD card from Samsung, the P9 Express is a solid pick. The new card is available in two storage options: 256GB and 512GB. The former costs $54.99 while the latter hits stores at $99.99.
