Western Digital SN740 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 2230 SSD US$101.66 (~A$148) Delivered @ Storage Choice Store AliExpress
A low price in recent times on this previously popular M.2 2230 sized SSD that’s perfect for upgrading the storage in handhelds including the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally. Get in quick as there’s only 28 left at the time of posting.
This is compatible with other devices that only accept 2230 sized SSDs including Surface Pro 9, X, Surface Laptop 3, 4, Laptop Go and more. Since this is a Gen4 SSD you shouldn’t use it with the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro 7+ due to stability issues. Both of these have no issues with Gen3 SSDs. It can be used with various M.2 2230 USB-C enclosures found on Ali too.
This one offers a sequential read up to 5150 MB/s, sequential write up to 4850 MB/s and uses Toshiba BiCS5 112l or SanDisk TLC flash. Unfortunately 2230 sized SSDs don’t have DRAM cache, but this one uses pSLC cache and HMB to make up for it so it’s perfectly fine for gaming. Especially when a lot of other similar SSDs are QLC.
