The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 excels at balancing power and portability, outperforming the Steam Deck and many rival handheld gaming devices. Here is the rewritten text:
In 2024, the ROG Ally X made a significant impact by increasing its efficiency, boasting an advanced display, and introducing refined ergonomics to take user experience to new heights. The ROG Ally features a UHS-II microSD card slot, allowing for faster read/write performance from memory cards that surpass the UHS-I standard found in devices like the Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and others. You may discover significantly faster download rates with the right graphics card installed.
According to Lexar, UHS-II more than doubles the maximum transfer speed of UHS-I, reaching an impressive 312 megabytes per second, compared to 104 megabytes per second. Despite the abundance of microSD cards, the selection of UHS-II variants remains scarce. Currently, well-known brands such as Samsung and SanDisk do not manufacture UHS-II microSD cards for storage use. While the few UHS-II options available may come at a higher price point than what one typically spends on a microSD card, While some of the current options may fall short in terms of exploiting the full potential of the UHS-II interface,
For those comfortable upgrading their ROG Ally (this won’t void the warranty), consider purchasing an M.2 SSD instead, as it offers better value for storage and will provide significantly faster performance compared to using a microSD card. If you’re willing to invest in a higher-end option and don’t mind paying a premium for potentially faster performance, several upscale models are worth considering.
For those seeking a high-capacity microSD card without prioritizing cutting-edge speed, options abound from reputable brands like SanDisk, Samsung, and Lexar, offering up to 1.5 terabytes of supplementary storage for their mobile devices.
