TEAMGROUP has just unveiled its latest high-performance storage solution aimed squarely at the handheld gaming crowd – the APEX SD7.1 MicroSD Express Card. Promising a leap forward in MicroSD tech, this new card offers blistering transfer speeds of up to 800 MB/s read and 700 MB/s write on supported devices, making it a powerful contender for future-proofed portable storage.
Built on a PCIe Gen3 x1 interface using the NVMe protocol, the APEX SD7.1 is engineered to meet the performance demands of next-gen devices, with hints it’s ready for the rumoured Nintendo Switch 2, or any device with a MicroSD Express slot. For everything else, it’s fully backwards compatible with standard MicroSD readers, making it a versatile upgrade for handheld consoles, smartphones, or tablets.
Available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities, the highest-tier card can store over 30 full-sized games, based on titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition. That’s a lot of gaming on the go, and with Video Speed Class V30 support, it also doubles up nicely for creators capturing 4K UHD video.
Performance aside, APEX SD7.1 is tough. It’s built to withstand water, shocks, static, X-rays, and extreme temperatures, making it perfect for daily use and travel. Rated A1 for application performance, it promises speedy app launches and smooth multitasking for mobile devices, too.
No specific release date has been shared yet, but more details are expected soon via TEAMGROUP’s official channels. In the meantime, if you’re planning a handheld gaming upgrade in 2025, this might be the MicroSD to beat.
