Nintendo Switch 2: Specs, Storage, MicroSD Options, and Fan Praise

MicroSD Express is a new, faster SD card standard introduced in late 2023, offering significantly higher write speeds suitable for devices like the Nintendo Switch 2, but it comes at a higher price and limited availability. It uses a different pin configuration and supports speeds from 150MB/s to 600MB/s, making game data transfer much quicker, especially for larger game files. While standard MicroSD cards are cheaper and more common, MicroSD Express cards are recommended for faster game loading and data transfer on the Switch 2.

"Enhanced Storage Speeds and Efficiency: The 2024 M3 MacBook Air Lineup"

The M3 MacBook Air appears to have improved storage speeds for its 256GB models compared to the M2 version, with early teardowns revealing the use of a pair of 128GB NAND flash chips instead of a single 256GB chip. This results in significantly faster read and write speeds, bringing it in line with the performance of the M1 Air. However, it's uncertain whether all 256GB MacBook Airs will be configured this way, as Apple uses multiple suppliers for its components. Despite the improvement, it's noted that the new Air still offers the same storage speed as the M1 Airs released over three years ago, raising frustration over Apple's inability to keep up with the advancements in standard M.2 SSDs in PCs.

"Comparing SSD Speeds: M3 MacBook Air vs. M3 MacBook Pro"

The new M3 MacBook Air from Apple offers significantly faster SSD speeds compared to the previous M2 model, addressing a problem with slower storage speeds in the base configuration. The M3 model now uses two 128GB storage chips, allowing for parallel processing and resulting in write speeds approximately 33% faster and read speeds around 82% faster than the M2 model. This improvement brings the M3 MacBook Air's SSD speeds in line with, and sometimes exceeding, those of the M1 MacBook Air.
