Save 21% on this 2TB Crucial gaming SSD upgrade, perfect for your Steam Deck

If your handheld is running out of storage space fast, then you need to consider this Crucial gaming SSD deal. This 2TB Crucial P310 SSD is on sale at Amazon right now, saving you $40.94 off the MSRP, and giving your Steam Deck or Asus ROG Ally a decent boost to your available storage.

Only a few models in our best handheld guide actually ship with 2TB of storage, with 1TB typically the limit. For Steam Deck owners, for instance, 1TB is as good as it gets. You don't have to settle for that, however, with an upgrade such as this Crucial SSD, which will immediately double the available space for an ever-growing gaming collection.

This Crucial P310 NVMe M.2 2230 is a PCIe 4.0 drive with sequential read speeds up to 7,100MB/s and write speeds of 6,000MB/s. However, it's important to point out that if you upgrade the drive in your Steam Deck, the Deck's PCIe 3.0 interface will cap read speeds to just 3,500MB/s, and that applies to both LCD and OLED models. What you're really buying here is that large 2TB capacity.

Other handhelds, such as the Asus ROG Ally, do support PCIe 4.0 drives, and the smallest capacity on that handheld is just 512GB. That means you can upgrade both your storage capacity and your drive speed, unlocking the Crucial P310's full 7,100MB/s read speed.

This Crucial P310 2230 gaming SSD is a great upgrade for a handheld gaming PC. You can pick it up from Amazon right now for $149.05 using this link here. If you're in the UK, use this link to grab this drive for £140.99 instead.
