Smaller portable handheld devices are growing in power and technological mastery - the Valve Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally are just two of the most popular choices for a handheld computer that can play your favorite games. However, as with your desktop PC, there's always a battle with your SSD with how many games you can keep stored on your device at one time, so upgrading your storage is often a priority.
There are several choices for small form factor 2230 M.2 SSDs on the market, but nowhere near as many options as the larger 2280 variants. At Best Buy the 1TB WD Black SN770M 2230 M.2 SSD is on sale for $109. This drive may be small, but it still has read/write speeds of 5150/4900 MB/s.
For larger computers and devices, the 2280-sized Solidigm P41 Plus 2TB SSD is on sale for a seriously low price of just $62. This Gen 4 SSD still sports read/write speeds of 4125/3325 MB/s which is more than ample to load your favorite games.
The big brother to the Solidigm P41 Plus is the Solidigm P44 Pro; you can get your hand on the 1TB version of the Solidigm P44 Pro for $54. This SSD is much faster than the P41 and can deliver up to 7,000 MB/s read and 6,500 MB/s write speeds, but you're paying more cents per gigabyte for the privilege.
