[QUOTE="tech3475, post: 10079972, member: 183014"] I've never looked deeply into 2230 options, I know there were numerous relatively cheap 128/256GB SSDs on ebay, Dell makes a 512GB/1TB card and Sabrent is introducing a 1TB (but I'd wait for reviews, I'm personally a bit weary of the brand after I had one of their SSDs fail under 1 year): [URL]https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-sabrent-rocket-22x30-nvme-pcie-40-x4-m2-ssd-phison-3d-tlc-nand-4750mb-s-read-4300mb-s-write450k[/URL] [URL]https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-m2-pcie-nvme-gen-3x4-class-35-2230-solid-state-drive-1tb/apd/ab673817/storage-drives-media[/URL] I also just remembered ifixit sells an upgrade kit with different sizes: [URL]https://www.ifixit.com/products/micron-2400-nvme-pcie-gen4-2230-ssd?variant=40034191835239[/URL] instructions: [URL]https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989[/URL] As for performance, it might be worth checking in game loading times, just did a quick test with Portal 2 going from launching in Steam to loading the first chapter: mSD: about 1m SSD: about 50 seconds As for whether to get the 512GB over the 256GB, I think it comes down to three questions: 1) Do you want to avoid upgrading yourself? 2) Do you want to avoid using mSDs as much as possible? 3) Do you plan on installing Windows internally? In my case, it was Windows that really pushed me to get the 512GB model over the 256GB model. [/QUOTE]
