Over three years after its release, the Steam Deck remains the preferred choice for portable PC gaming. If you play PC games, however, you are aware that those titles may take up more storage space than you can say, “This year’s Call of Duty is 160GB.” Thankfully, a fantastically little (physically) and enormous (figuratively) 2TB SSD for your Steam Deck is currently available on Amazon for just $139.99.
Unexpectedly, you may still take advantage of this offer without having an Amazon Prime membership. It is accessible to everyone, huzzah.
For devices like the Steam Deck, other portable gaming PCs like the Asus Ally or Lenovo Legion Go, and even some ultraportable laptops that require the smallest drive possible, the Western Digital Black SN770M appears to be one of the most well-liked choices for the M.2 2230 (30mm long) form factor. The PCIe Gen 4 drive has a 5-year warranty and is more than fast enough for gaming at over 5,000 MB/s. A screwdriver is all you need to install it on the Steam Deck. More information on this particular module may be found in the bestcomputerfinder review, which gives it an excellent rating.
The current price on this drive, which is typically in the $180 range, is reasonable, if not unbeatable. Compared to other 2TB upgrades for portable gaming PCs, it is far less expensive. (For instance, to upgrade the Steam Deck OLED model from 512GB to 1TB, Valve is asking for an additional $100.) Don’t be shocked if this offer sells out soon because it’s likely the best upgrade you can get for your device in terms of value.
