If 512GB is too small and micro SD cards just aren't your style, these beefy, pricey Steam Deck SSDs might be an alternative.

. Up until now it's been much harder to find reputable sources for the 2230 NVMe drives used by the Deck⁠—the portable only has room for this particularly stubby configuration, and there haven't been consumer retail options until now.

It's still a pricey upgrade though, with the 2230 stubbies commanding much higher prices than equivalent sizes in more standard configurations. They're going for similar prices at all three retailers as well, with Scan only going up to 1TB in size. Framework is sourcing theirs from Western Digital though, while iFixit is selling Micron drives, if manufacturer loyalty factors into this for you.

As it stands, this will probably remain a niche option unless prices come down in the future. I've been burned by a defective micro SD card in the past, but these days I'm pretty content with my combo of 512GB Deck with a 512GB Samsung card⁠—it definitely helps if you prefer older games and indies on your Deck instead of some of these triple-A monster installs we've been seeing.
