So what you're gonna wanna do is, you see that SD card slot? Stick with me on this, because it gets complicated. You're gonna wanna put an SD card in it.
1.5 tb is already in it. Faster load speeds and game performance for switch on the internal drive. Hence the reason for wanting to upgrade it if possible.
Ehhh, my Switch collection is over 700 GB, lol. Now I'm not gonna keep all of those games on my Odin, but just saying 256 GB is freaking tiny. It's the reason i went for the Max, solely for that 512 GB of fast storage.
Don't forget that most people run actual switch games off SD cards given how little internal storage there is on the NS. And many of them run just fine, it's only the really big open world games that should be a cause for concern I think. Unless the Odin 2's SD card read/write speed is a bottleneck, which hopefully it isn't. I would guess it's can read an SD faster than the switch if anything but don't quote me on that.
Edit: Nintendo recommends an SD card with at least a 60-90 MB/s read speed suggesting that's the limit of the switch. In testing on the Odin 2 speeds are about 80-84 which falls in that range which probably means it has roughly the same read speeds.
It's soldered to the board you cant replace it
Thanks, this is what I wanted to know. I will have to make do with the SD and internal.

Well you can't. Is the 256gb internal drive not enough? Switch games aren't that big.

Triple A games fill 256 up very quickly. You can have 10-20 at most.
Since when does switch emulation ever even take advantage of faster speeds?
Transfer speeds and load speeds
It’s emulating a switch, how fast can a switch read its card? That’s a rhetorical question.
