Taipei, Taiwan – July 9th, 2025 – Silicon Power (SP) is unleashing the Hypera microSD Express memory card, its latest leap in next-generation portable storage technology, where the power of technology delivers “hyper” performance. Designed for gamers, creators, and power users alike, the Hypera boasts ultra-fast PCIe Gen 3x1 performance with blazing speeds up to 880 MB/s read and 700 MB/s write,[1] and is available in huge capacities up to 1TB.

PCIe Performance in a microSD Form Factor

At the core of the Hypera is PCIe Gen 3x1 and NVMe technology, enabling unmatched microSD performance in a compact footprint. With lightning-fast data transfer speeds up to 880 MB/s, users can experience up to 2.7x faster performance than UHS-II cards and up to 8x faster than standard UHS-I cards.[1] This groundbreaking speed enables accelerated downloads, seamless in-game loading, and smooth gameplay even with maximum resolution, dramatically enhancing the gaming experience.

Big Capacities for AAA Gaming and 4K Content

Available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities, the Hypera gives users the freedom to store massive files, high-res assets, and expansive game libraries. Whether you’re a mobile gamer or digital creator, this card offers storage headroom without sacrificing speed. It also supports the V30 video recording standard, making it ideal for UHD video capture.

Plus, with confirmed compatibility with the Nintendo Switch® 2, it's a must-have upgrade for the newest generation of console gaming. The Switch 2’s new game-key card format introduces larger, more advanced games that require additional storage support, making the Hypera the perfect companion for both physical and digital content expansion.

Future-Proofed with Backwards Compatibility

As a top-tier gaming solution, the Hypera significantly improves gameplay experience on the latest consoles that support microSD Express. However, it also remains fully backward-compatible with UHS-I at speeds up to 104 MB/s, ensuring smooth performance when playing older favorites. This means users can invest in next-gen performance today while maintaining versatility with existing devices.

From exploring immersive worlds in massive AAA titles to storing libraries for multiple consoles, the Hypera delivers speed and storage without compromise. It embodies Silicon Power’s mission to innovate with powerful yet practical solutions that keep up with today’s evolving trends.
