Oemgenuine OEM Samsung 256GB M.2 PCI-e NVME Internal Solid State Drive 30mm 2230 Form Factor

Purchased a Kioxia drive for the Steam Deck but it never arrived from the US. This Samsung one was fast and packaged very well, the drive is great, seems to perform as you'd expect and this one is lower power than the one I first ordered. Top tier, thanks

For £40, the M.2 2230 @ 256GB SSD I got was a good price because it was in excellent condition, had hardly been used, and had less than 150GB written to it. Fully recommended.

Bought for my 64gb steam deck and installation was perfect, works great and is fast, good option if you are looking to upgrade your internal storage.

Got it second hand and it's been perfect, running in the steam deck, advertised capacity is legit.

Easy to install and flash with steam os. Now I have plenty of storage for my big games. 🥰

商品は包装には新品と明記されていましたが 多分中古品ではないかと思います。 steam deckに使用しました今の所普通に使用出来ています。 耐久性はこれから使用してみてですね。

Installing this in the steam deck took 10 minutes and it works really well.

Bought this specifically to replace the 64GB eMMC storage in the base Steam Deck option. This is an OEM part, so no fancy packaging. The model matches the Amazon product photo; PM991a. Samsung has historically made really reliable and well-performing SSDs. At least according to Puget Systems as of 2016. Samsung SSDs are usually top rated and well reviewed regardless. Works perfectly within the Steam Deck. Zero compatibility issues. Install was a breeze, just follow the iFixIt guide. Keep in mind that this SSD is definitely taller than the base 64GB eMMC drive by a fraction. When replacing the SSD, you will need to unreel the shielding and wrap it around this SSD to install it back into the Steam Deck. Trying to slip it back on by force is difficult. The added height won't affect anything else and fits perfectly in the slot. No overheating issues so far. Recovery install of SteamOS was a bit finicky. The preferred method is to use a microSD card as your recovery image and don't rely on any dongles. It installed in a flash, and SteamOS picks up the new NVMe SSD. Didn't compare boot/load times versus the old SSD, but this drive is M key versus the old B+M key.

the price workes out

I've done these sorts of hardware swaps before, but they're always a little nerve-wracking, particularly when applied to brand-new equipment. I swapped this SSD in for the 64GB stick in my Steam Deck, following one of the many online guides. The process went smoothly and quickly. The only tricky part was cracking the Deck's case. It did take quite a while and several reboots for the Deck to install all of the software and updates once this SSD was installed, around 3 hours all told. After it was all done, the Deck worked great. If you're at all uncomfortable with doing this sort of hardware upgrade on your new Deck, it is probably best to spend the extra money and get the 256GB version. But for me, it saved some bucks and I feel like I have a better hands-on understanding of the Deck's internals.
