Expanding Device Storage Capacity Made Affordable

Looking to expand the storage capacity on your devices without breaking the bank? You’re in luck! Thanks to the decreasing prices of SSDs in recent years, it’s now more cost-effective than ever. Whether you’re a Steam Deck owner with a model that doesn’t have the 1TB OLED version or an Asus ROG Ally owner with a 512GB model, Amazon has a deal you won’t want to miss.

Don’t worry, the MP600 Mini is much smaller than this.

For just $70, you can get your hands on a 1TB Corsair MP600 Mini NVMe SSD that is fully compatible with these handheld devices. With a list price of $110, this deal is a steal, especially considering that $85 was previously seen as a solid price point. Whether you own a 64GB Steam Deck or need more space for big AAA releases, this upgrade will provide ample storage.

Installation of the SSD is a straightforward process – simply insert the drive into the open M.2 2230 slot. Steam Deck owners with 256GB and 512GB models can also benefit from this expansion, although it will require removing the existing storage drive and installing SteamOS on the new drive. As the holiday season approaches with a lineup of major game releases, having extra space is definitely worth considering.

Upgrading from a 512GB to a 1TB SSD in the ROG Ally will require a reinstallation of Windows. Asus provides a useful walkthrough for this process, making it easier for first-time upgraders.

For those eyeing the ROG Ally, now is a great time to make the purchase at Best Buy. The base model is currently on sale for $400 (originally $600), while the “Extreme” version has a $100 discount at $600 – the lowest prices yet for the handheld.

The Corsair MP600 Mini NVMe SSD is not limited to Steam Deck and ROG Ally owners. It is compatible with Microsoft Surface and other ultra-thin devices, offering an affordable storage upgrade option.

Don’t forget, you can also expand storage on both the Steam Deck and ROG Ally using microSD cards. High-quality options like the 256GB Samsung card for $18 or the 512GB version for $57 on Amazon, or the SanDisk 256GB card for approximately $27 and the 512GB card for around $44, provide additional storage solutions at reasonable prices.
