AGI Technology introduces the TF338, a new generation of microSD cards specifically designed to meet the demands of modern gaming hardware. Designed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, it combines extreme speed with a robust design, setting a new standard in mobile storage solutions. Thanks to the microSD Express standard with PCIe Gen3 x1 interface, the card offers performance values that were previously reserved for SSDs – and remains fully backwards compatible.

  • Read speed up to 800 MB/s, write speed up to 700 MB/s
  • microSD Express with PCIe Gen3 x1 and NVMe protocol
  • Compatible with all UHS-I devices
  • Robust against water, dust, shocks and extreme temperatures

microSD Express: storage technology on a new level

With the TF338, AGI Technology is responding to the growing demand for high-performance mobile memory – especially in the gaming sector. The new microSD Express standard makes the TF338 the first choice for users who do not want to compromise on loading times or transfer speeds. The card achieves read speeds of up to 800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 700 MB/s. This beats conventional UHS-I microSD cards many times over – an increase in speed that is noticeable in practice through significantly shorter loading times and seamless streaming of large amounts of data.

The use of the PCIe Gen3 x1 interface in combination with the NVMe protocol raises the card to a new technical level. This makes it interesting not only for gamers, but also for content creators who need to save and edit high-resolution video material or large project files on the go. Especially in combination with the expected performance of the Nintendo Switch 2, the full potential of this storage solution should unfold.

Robust design for mobile use

Performance is one thing – reliability is another. The TF338 also scores highly in terms of physical resilience. It has been tested under realistic conditions for water, dust and shock resistance and can also withstand extreme temperature fluctuations. This makes it suitable not only for the home gaming setup, but also for mobile use in difficult environmental conditions – whether traveling, outdoor shooting or daily commuting.

Despite the new standard, the TF338 remains backwards compatible with existing UHS-I devices. This makes it easier to use with older hardware and enables a gradual transition to the new performance standard. The card also meets international safety and quality standards such as CE, FCC and BSMI.

Conclusion: Future-proof memory for high-speed gaming

With the TF338, AGI is launching a microSD card on the market that sets new standards in terms of speed, reliability and future-proofing. Specially developed for the Nintendo Switch 2, it offers SSD-like performance in a mobile format – ideal for gaming and creative applications alike.
