Perfect upgrade for a Steam Deck.

These include several configurable options when purchasing, from 512 GB to 2 TB which include M.2 2042, 2280 and 2230.

PCIe 4.0 in the 2230 form with large capacity, is huge for portable PC gaming.

They consume less power than the previous generation.

The read speed is upto 4500MB/s of these new tiny SSDs.

The new tech allows 24% lower read latency, and can offer up to 23% faster read times.

For gamers, prioritising the read times is a smart idea.
