Bought this to upgrade internal storage on the lowest cost steam deck. Installation was a breeze, and after following instructions to re-flash the OS, had 1TB of storage. Easy install, just be careful when removing the battery cable to not short out whatever tool youre using against the motherboard. I would suggest using something plastic with a sharp, thin tip to ease out the battery plug.

Easy to install and works well with steam deck

Not a fan of how the seller operates but the SSD is legit, not as snappy as original 512gb but if u want more space great selection.

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

was super easy to install into steam deck. hardest issue was not stripping the steam decks screws they must be made with some sort of butter. word of advice if anyone is putting this into the steam deck. the steam deck screws to the back shell are SELF TAPPING. so do not over tighten them or you will strip them out. the screws the selves are like butter as well and one even came pre stripped from factory. the hard drive works as it should. was silly easy to install after getting the back cover off. if you are pealing the cover off like i had to with out a plastic shim start pealing it awake from the vent fan as its very easy to get fingers in that. DONT FORGET TO USE THE IFIX IT WEBSITE TO SHOW HOW TO DO IT. MAKE SURE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY!

SABRENT provides a great how to video. the process itself was childs play. the Drive works flawlessly, performance is much faster then even the quickest SD card (as youd expect). Storage related stutters i was experiencing in some games have disappeared.

Popped into the steamdeck (Ifixit has a good tutorial along with the one sabrent did in the product page video) Pulled down a restore image from valve, flashed new image on there. Works great. Note: When you first flash the image onto the deck, the buttons will potentially not work (but touchscreen does), after steamos updates the drivers and restarts, they will start working (at least in my case).

Bought 1tb because 512gb was unavailable for a while. I have no regrets, i have just shy of 1tb of space after loading the OS back onto my Deck. Haven’t experienced any heat increases since day 1. Would recommend for deck storage upgrades, especially while on sale.

I actually ordered this SSD before I ordered my Steam Deck. I ended up getting my Deck (64 gb) before the SSD so I ran games for a couple of days on SD card. Huge difference in load times when I upgraded to the SSD. Installing in Deck was fairly easy. I was able to get metal shield around SSD. 1 TB is a great size for the Steam Deck. It really is amazing how many games you can have on the Deck.

I cloned my original drive to this ssd and the results are pretty good. I haven’t noticed a difference in performance (better or worse), still seems as quick as ever. Apparently the steam deck only uses x2 pci and this i believe is x4. it doesn’t matter for compatibility but as i understand it, you won’t see more than 2300mbps from the device in the steam deck even though it’s rated up to 4000mbps. So this is as good as it gets for your deck.
