If it's a capable small form factor SSD you're after to use in your Steam Deck, this 2TB Micron M2 2230 choice is down to £167 from Amazon.

We're seeing a flurry of activity on the front of new handheld consoles from the likes of Lenovo and more at the moment, and let's not forget both the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally, of course. With these consoles, your only super convenient method of adding storage is to slot in a Micro SD card. But, there is another way, for a moreand today, one of them is available for a solid price: this 2TB Micron 2400 is down to £159 from Amazon.

As well as being the ideal size, this 2TB Micron choice also provides a solid upgrade in terms of speed. It's rated for max reads of 4200MB/s when hooked up to a PCIe 4.0 port, although you'll probably see closer to 3500MB/s given that the Steam Deck is limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds by virtue of its interface.

Of course, the only thing to keep in mind with a Steam Deck SSD upgrade is that it's a bit more involved than slotting in one of the, which walks you through accessing the internals, carefully removing a heatsink, disconnecting the battery and swapping the drive. From here, you can use a USB flash drive to reinstall SteamOS. If you've worked on a desktop computer or laptop before, then this isn't any more difficult - it's just a bit fiddlier due to the smaller sizes.

If you want a lot of speedy storage for your Steam Deck or ROG Ally to put lots of games on, this 2TB Micron 2400 M.2 2230 NVMe SSD for £159 from Amazon is the deal for you.
