We're seeing a lot more in the way of small form factor SSDs pop up on the market for use with the seemingly ever-growing sector of handheld games consoles including the likes of the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally and more, as people seek to add even more internal storage. If you are one of those peeps, you'll be pleased to know that one of theout there, the WD Black SN770M is marked down to £135 from Amazon, which is a steal compared to its usual £184 list price.
Of course, this is a drive that can be fitted to other handheld consoles such as the Asus ROG Ally, and that's given its smaller M.2 2230 size, which means it fits perfectly into the 22mm x 30mm drive bay size allowed in these smaller consoles. You can try and use this in a more conventional sized PC if your motherboard supports an M.2 2230 drive, although at this moment, the more standard sized M.2 2280 drives in PCIe 4.
The tricky bit here is installing the drive into your Steam Deck. Unlike with a standard PC, it's a bit more involved than opening your PC up and slotting a drive into the M.2 slot and booting from there. It's also a bit more involved than slotting in a MicroSD card into a dedicated slot in the side of the console.
If you're after a speedy and capacious SSD for use in a handheld games console for less, this Amazon deal on the 2TB WD Black SN770M is not to be missed.Manor Lords wants your help: should its "OP" trade system be changed?
