Review: Overkill for a steamdeck or surface but the density is right! - I purchased a steamdeck and managed to pick up a 2TB grey market western digital drive (guessing for a surface off of desertcart) and had my 512GB steamdeck drive slapped into my surface pro 9 that only came with 256GB of storage. Half a year later I wanted a larger drive for my surface so that I can dual boot it and use it like a giant kindle so I looked around and found out about the new Sabrent model. I recall a rep talking about the 1TB model and stating they hope to be able to release a 2TB model if it fits their thermal specs and four months later things went well and we have this 2TB model. If I had to do it again I would have put one of these in my steamdeck as well but luckily my weird 2TB drive is going strong but after great luck with Sabrent I'm a happy camper with this 2TB drive in my Surface Pro 9. I use Sabrent PCIe to M.2 adapters and I also use their 4TB gen 3 drives in a six drive ZFS array that I play game off of over 25Gbps OM4 optics. So I trust Sabrent drives enough to offload all my high speed NAS usage needs to an all NVMe RAID built from their drives and I find their M.2 to PCIe adapters quite handy given I'm using a motherboard lacking PCIe lanes to M.2 sockets so their adapter boards have come in handy in expanding my RAID to 6 drives and I bet I can pull off a 7th with a x8/x8 bifurcation adapter for my raptor lake CPU. I always thought M.2 2230 was a dumb standard, now I get it. I hope the slightly longer standard of 42mm, starts to take off after the success of this product. For those of you who are only familiar with M.2 2280, the way to decode that number is M.2 22mm x 80mm. All M.2 drives in the consumer space are the same width (all are typically PCIe x4 so this can't change much) and so only the length of the card differs. This is the shortest kind of M.2 since it's only 30mm in length, which is why it's a "M.2 2230" card. Before you purchase this card, make sure you really need a short M.2 2230 drive, perhaps a 2242, 2280 (very common) will fit and on the plus side the performance should be better since higher end controllers can be used, especially in the very common M.2 2280 form factor (22mm by 80mm "stick of gum" form factor). It's great that this card is gen 4 for future proofing, but most of the devices that can accomdinate this card today are not going to put that bandwidth to great use so expect some slight slowdowns (or a lot on the steamdeck, not that you should be expecting much there in the first place). Very happy using this product to dual boot Windows 11 Pro and Linux Mint 21.1, I think split the drive in half Windows:Linux 50:50 and it's working great. Again make sure the device you are attempting to purchase this drive for really needs a M.2 2230 drive to fit. I can use it on a Surface Pro 9 and Steamdeck which are small/thin requiring such a short (30mm) M.2 drive. If your system can accomindate a longer drive like 80mm (M.2 2280) then get that since cooling will be better and performance much higher. This drive is made for small stuff so use it in small stuff, otherwise go with something where the thermals/performance will be better, the only use case that makes sense of using this drive in a M.2 2280 socket would be to leverage the drive later in a compact device. But for compact spaces this drive thrives and I'm glad it was brought to the market.
Review: Perfect for my ROG Ally - Love that now I have 2TB on my ROG Ally but you do only get 1.8TB of the storage but that is still plenty for most of your games and stuff.. easy to install and once you install it, well it does take a while since you have to re installing everything in the handheld and downloading games and apps are really really fast.. I got a steady speed between 600 to 700MB when downloading a game and it took about 30 minutes or less to download a game that has about 120GB.. the initial boost when downloading a game with this SSD was about max 900 and something MB for like 2 min and then it dropped to 600 to 700MB per second.. no problems with this SSD and just perfect for the ROG Ally.. highly recommend and worth the price for it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST buy for any steam deck owner that is considering it.
*by B***N on October 22, 2023*

I was once in the pool of (a micro sd card is good enough for the deck). Its not. There is a night and day difference in the loading times and the graphics of the games. This SSD is an absolute MUST if youre a steam deck owner. You don't have to go with the 2tb as there are other options. But increasing your internal storage will only make your life easier. I use my sd card for emulators and backups now and have all my stuff on the SSD. This is the best decision I have made for my steam deck. The games run better and some games that didn't run at all, now run. Believe everyone that says this is necessary 🤣 I can't imagine life without it now. Intallation is really easy, just take out your sd card beforehand. It is preferred that you get it when you first buy your steamdeck, but if you already have one, its possible to clone the drives so you dont lose your stuff. It's like a playstation hard drive upgrade but more advanced.
