Bought my daughter a steam deck and upgraded the internal drive. Worked like a charm.

This upgrade was A+. Thanks to previous reviewers here. Random reboots on the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 we’re frustrating but expected. Replacing the drive was very easy. I chose to fresh install Windows 11. Worth re-enforcing: Install ALL Windows software updates. Use Microsoft’s free Surface Diagnostic Tool. There was a problem with failure to install certain updates. Many YouTube videos available to address but I didn’t need it. Important lesson learned: Keep your Surface 8 Pro’s 6W power cord plugged into grid power. I power cords from older Surface models. Don’t know why but it made a big difference. Hardware-wise no issues so far. From my perspective pertaining digital photography the Surface 8 Pro got way faster after upgrade from 256GB to 512GB. Prior to drive upgrade Raw Image processing choked even with a brand name external 1TB SSD used for cache. Would recommend.

Until they release a M.2 2TB, this is by far a must have. Easy to install and the videos to install was a breeze.

llego a Chile en perfectas condiciones, bien embalado y en las fechas estimadas. Saludos.

Really great SSD. If you are careful during installation, this makes a great replacement for the Steam Deck.

Didnt test the performance but works really well with the steam Deck

Pretty good SSD for the steam deck. Good price and it does what it just designed to do. Gave me a lot more space on my system overall and I can install way more games than you could on a 512 GB SSD. Definitely worth the buy pretty good brand too.

Ok yeah Im that person, I picked this up for my Steam Deck and it served its purpose until the 2TB version came out and now that is in the Steam Deck ... but what to do with this? I put it in a small 2230 external drive case and it is now my Windows 10 Boot partition when I want to boot my Steam Deck into Windows. It is sufficiently fast for the tasks it does, temps are reasonable (never really above like 65*C) and it just works. Sabrent knocks it out of the park once again.

Installed this in my steam deck to replace the 64gb factory SSD. Followed a YouTube tutorial. Installation was fairly straight forward. Has been working flawlessly since without any issues.

As my headline states, I bought this as an upgrade for the standard version of a Steam Deck, and it has given me zero issues to date. Fast, reliable, and easy to work with. They also package it in a tiny metal case!
