Is this compatible with a Nintendo switch?

Mine (512gb) wouldnt work with the switch at all, tried formatting on my machine and via switch without any luck :(

Will this work for the steamdeck.

Confirmed working on Steam Deck. After formatting from the system menu on the Steam Deck, it did not show the "Make Default" option when selecting the card right away for me, that is until I selected the internal storage, and pressed X to make that the default first, then when I selected the SD, I was able to make that the default to install new games going forward. Enjoy!!

What’s the difference between the new generation and green 512GB??

New (blue) has faster read/write speeds if hardware can support it

What's the write speed on the new gen select+ cards? all sizes..

On 256GB EVO Select card, write speed is 120MB/s and higher (CrystalDiskMark measured between 12120-124MB/s). This is using Genuine Samsung USB 3.0 card reader (extra $4 if you buy a card + reader bundle). Most third party USB card readers (99% of cheap no-name readers sold on Amazon) can not achieve that speed because they are slower then Samsung SD-card itself.
