Is there an SD Card Slot available on the Microsoft Surface Go?
Yes, it does. The SD card slot on Surface Go is located on the right side of the device and underneath the kickstand. It’s a MicroSDXC card slot that supports all recent large MicroSD cards available on the market. Here is a summary of the MicroSD card slot and compatible SD cards:
| Model | SD Slot | Type | Speed class | Max speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Go (2018) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
| Surface Go 2 (2020) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
| Surface Go 3 (2021) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
| Surface Go 4 (2023) | Yes | MicroSDXC | UHS-I | 104 MB/s |
One of my favorite features of the Surface Go is having a MicroSD card slot. The card is a cheap and removable storage that I can swap between smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, and laptops. Since the Surface Go has limited and non-removable storage that maxes out at 256GB, a 1TB microSD card is perfect for storing pictures, videos, and games.
Here is a summary of the storage chip technology used in all Surface Go generations:
| Storage Options | Min | Max | Technology |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface Go (2018) | 64 GB | 256GB | eMMC, SSD |
| Surface Go 2 (2020) | 64 GB | 256GB | eMMC, SSD |
| Surface Go 3 (2021) | 64 GB | 256GB | eMMC, SSD |
| Surface Go 4 (2023) | 64 GB | 256GB | UFS |
