Compact M.2 2230 drive for handheld PCs

This NVMe SSD uses the short M.2 2230 form factor and fits devices such as the Steam Deck. It provides 2TB of storage with PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds for faster game loading and system responsiveness.

Simple drop-in upgrade with one common issue

Installation only requires inserting the drive into the M.2 slot and securing it with the existing screw. The most frequent problem is forgetting to initialise the new volume in the operating system before use.

PCIe 4.0 x4 interface determines compatibility

The drive connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface, so the host must support that protocol and the 2230 length. Sequential reads reach up to 6000 MBps and writes up to 5000 MBps.

Questions about this item

Will this drive fit in a Steam Deck or similar handheld device?

The M.2 2230 form factor measures 30 mm by 20 mm and is 2.30 mm thick, matching the slot used in Steam Deck and many ultra-portable laptops.

Does the drive need a heatsink for sustained performance?

It ships without a heatsink; the thin 2.30 mm profile fits tight chassis, but adding a motherboard heatsink or thermal pad can help maintain peak speeds during heavy workloads.

What is the endurance rating for the 2 TB model?

The drive is rated for 640 TBW with an MTBF of 2,000,000 hours, indicating a high write endurance for a consumer NVMe SSD.
