SYONCON AP425 M.2 2230 SSD NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0X4 Internal Solid State Drive Compatible with Steam Deck/Microsoft Surface pro 8/pro 7+/pro X/laptop3/laptop4/laptop go/book3 (512GB)

Bought a used surface pro 7+ and it only had a 128gb hard drive which was not going to be enough. After creating a USB Key Drive I installed this 512GB drive in and after using the USB Key to get Windows 11 on the new drive I have a machine with enough memory to last me a long time. I would recommend this drive as I really dont see any bad things about it plus it has a 10 year warranty so I am not really worried about it.

In a 2230 form factor this SSD preforms nicely. I was able to get over 450MB/s reading and 214MB/s writing on my SSD reader. The SSD comes in a nice box with an antistatic bag around it. The upgrade kit also comes with a small screw as well as a screw driver so you have the tools to upgrade an existing system. The SSD is small so just be sure its the right SSD form factor for your computer or laptop. It seems to be well made without any defects that I could see as well as the solder joints on the board also look to be of high quality. Overall I would recommend this as a good upgrade or any system.

Ended up taking a gamble with the unknown brand due to a $8 coupon for the drive at the time. Installed in my Steam Deck just fine, recognized it, and formatted out at the expected 463gb size (Formatting any drive eats capacity so you dont get the full 512) Ran performance test to see if it was true about the drive speed and it came out pretty close honestly. And considering theres slower drives or take more power for more money, this is surprisingly good specs for the price. About the only thing I may have a concern with is the reliability further down the line but considering its in a non-critical device, Im not as worried. And since its very close to stock voltage/amps, increased heat doesnt appear to be an issue.

I purchased to upgrade the drive in my steam deck. I can confirm that the drive does the job handily! I didn’t bother with any technical tests as there were already some results posted here. I haven’t had any issues and the drive for correctly seated in the device.

Came with everything you need to replace OEM steam deck drive with this one.

El reemplazo de la unidad fue un éxito, estoy muy contento porque funciona de maravilla en mi Surface Pro 8 de Microsoft, Excelente Producto, congrats!!!!!!!

Take your time taking apart steam deck. For steam os transfer need a usb to usb c adaptor for usb fob. If you have a samsung phone they included the adaptor in the past.

Funciona correctamente en mi steam deck es una excelente opcion lo recomiendo 10/10

It works really well for the Steam deck. Read and write speeds are as intended and performs great with fast loading speeds.

A bit slower than the other drives available but it works. But spend a bit more $ and get the Corsair since it come out. This works well for what it is. Runs fine.
