SABRENT 2230 M.2 NVMe Gen 4 1TB SSD 4750MB/s Read PCIe 4.0 X4 Internal Solid State Drive Compatible with Steam Deck, surface pro, PCs, NUCs, and Laptops [SB-2130-1TB]

Product Information

HMB can’t match the peak performance of a design that includes onboard DRAM, but it’s pretty darn fast and a lot cheaper. Performance and Endurance – Designed with the ultimate mix of ultra-high speeds and the latest in data securing and storage life prolonging technologies, the 2230 M. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Larger Than It Looks: Many 2230 drives are limited in capacity, which can make life more difficult, especially when trying to build a large game collection.

Whether you own a Steam Deck, a Microsoft Surface, an ultrabook, or even a compact HTPC, this drive can accelerate your experience without excess heat or power draw. Rewards: Rewards are earned on Dell purchases (excluding Dell Outlet purchases and third party products) made on dell. On the flip side, such drives do tend to be quite efficient, which can be useful in space-limited devices. As such there is an overprovisioning in the file system to provide a longer lifespan and faster access which results in a lower addressable capacity.

A quick example would be the WD Black SN770 being a substitute for the OEM SN740, since they are effectively the same drive aside from length. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. However, it would also be a good choice for some HTPC motherboards and NUCs, some of which have shorter M.

But if your computer does support longer standard SSDs, you can get the same capacity and performance for less cash.

Form-Factor: Fully compatible with Valve Steam Deck, Microsoft Surface, and other ultra-thin devices, making a great upgrade for compatible machines. Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon host device, usage conditions, drive capacity, and other factors. It’s also backward compatible with Gen3 and Gen2 PCIe slots with reduced bandwidth, but retains excellent latency. The Deck is not particularly demanding, although other devices might be able to make better use of the Rocket 2230’s power.

The latter is present on the SN740, essentially an OEM WD Black SN770, which is available in 2TB and 2230. Glad I did, I can confirm the SSD works fine in the Steam Deck, and is showing the full amount available (minus OS). Performance and Endurance – Designed with the ultimate mix of ultra-high speeds and the latest in data securing and storage life prolonging technologies, the 2230 M. We would recommend something with sector-by-sector copy, such as Macrium Reflect Free if trying to clone something like a Steam Deck SteamOS installation.

Over time, as a drive fills up, performance will decrease due to less NAND for caching and other factors. CORSAIR SSD Toolbox Software**: Enables advanced drive controls from your desktop including secure erase and firmware updates. Sabrent also offers its own SSD toolbox with the Sabrent Rocket Control Panel, which should support this drive in the future, if and when any firmware updates become available.When I was looking in to changing my Steam Deck's SSD, I found that this form factor is far more expensive. Internal drive tests currently utilize Windows 11 64-bit running on an MSI MEG X570/AMD Ryzen 3700X combo with four 16GB Kingston 2666MHz DDR4 modules, a Zotac (Nvidia) GT 710 1GB x2 PCIe graphics card, and an ASMedia ASM3242 USB 3. Our new Gen4 controller offers gaming desktop class performance combined with efficient flash for the best experience.
