For those who missed out on this deal last week it's back again and even cheaper making it a new record low price! This M.2 2230 SSD is an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade their Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Surface Pro 9, X, Surface Laptop 3, 4, Laptop Go and more.

Since this is a Gen4 SSD you shouldn't use it with the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro 7+ due to stability issues. Both of these have no issues with Gen3 SSDs.

This one offers a sequential read up to 5150 MB/s, sequential write up to 4850 MB/s and uses Toshiba BiCS5 112l or SanDisk TLC flash. Unfortunately 2230 sized SSDs don't have DRAM cache, but this one uses pSLC cache and HMB to make up for it so it's perfectly fine for gaming. Especially when a lot of other similar SSDs are QLC.

  • Set the website currency to USD
  • Checkout with PayPal
  • Select your card with no international fees
  • Click "See currency options"
  • Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
  • Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.

    Can anyone recommend a good external case for this? The one I have doesn't support the smaller 2230 size.

      I just bought one of these, 9.61USD with one of those $2 coupons (24AN02/AE2ZNAF).

      My experience with JEYI enclosures has been positive.

      • mathew42 on 27/03/2024 - 12:10

        Thanks. First coupon worked, but second didn't.

    • ChatCPT on 26/03/2024 - 23:51

      there was a deal just for this

    • Chiang on 27/03/2024 - 19:09

      I put it in one of these

      It's really tiny and has a locking mechanism.

      The other one has a loop for keyrings which might be handy.

    I found that these steps resolved the stability issue for the Surface Pro 8:

    Finally, I found how to solve the problem with the trick posted by Getter Robot in the 31th december 2022:
    1. Enable "Link State Power Management" option in Power Options.
    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/100629-remove-link-state…
    2. Choose "Off" for "Link State Power Management".
    3. Reboot.

      Doesn't fully work for me. If unplugged, it often never wakes from sleep, requiring long-press power buttons to force shut down and start up. Been considering switching out to a Gen3… but prices on those just seem to keep going up!

  • EpicSpaceLord on 26/03/2024 - 22:29

    Rocking one of these in my Ally. Damn I paid $180. Great buy at this price.

  • Roe Jogan on 26/03/2024 - 22:41

    how can this be converted into a portable ssd, is there an enclosure for this?

    • Hiphopopotamus on 26/03/2024 - 23:44

      I just bought one of these, 9.61USD with one of those $2 coupons (24AN02/AE2ZNAF).

  • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 26/03/2024 - 22:45

    Thank you. My dad needed something and I really didn't want to pay the $2.99 for shipping and this pushed it over the $15 requirement for free shipping.

    24AN12 worked for my $152 order.

      you woudnt really use that on an iphone like permanently

      looks like a great way to ruin your hole, so to speak

      • Roe Jogan on 27/03/2024 - 08:12

        yes you would if you knew anything about iphone 15 pro max and its log recording, practically replacing a 5000 dollar camera with that feature, it only needs big storage, hence why that product exists and has sold just from that listing 700+ units in 3 months

  • spacemannn on 27/03/2024 - 00:23

    Says item no longer available :(

    • Clear on 27/03/2024 - 00:25

      They did that in the last deal and it came back later. Hopefully the same happens.

      • Chiang on 27/03/2024 - 19:15

        It's been in my ads all week since buying.

  • pixxelpusher on 27/03/2024 - 01:33

    What's the difference between these and a full length nvme? Would they be ok to use as an external drive?

    • smpantsonfire on 27/03/2024 - 02:35

      These are designed for the devices in the OP that don’t support a full length one.

      I’m getting one to upgrade my surface laptop 4

    • Look Up on 27/03/2024 - 09:07

      What's the difference between these and a full length nvme?

      Physically smaller, slower due to cutting of components (no DRAM) plus lower guaranteed reliability/durability (500TBW vs 1200TB on the equivalent 2280 SN770)

      Would they be ok to use as an external drive?
      Yes

      Just don't use it as a content creation scratch disk, database store or anything else that requires continuous/heavy writes

      • pixxelpusher on 27/03/2024 - 22:34

        Thanks, so durability is about half that of a full length nvme. Guess if they were both around the same price full length would still be the way to go for an external drive then.

  • xKaizokux on 27/03/2024 - 02:40

    im getting "this product can't be shipped to your address.
    Select another product or address." is there a way around this?

    • Nil Einne on 27/03/2024 - 05:32

      It means it's out of stock, but I suggest you keel looking especially in the evening since this is the most common times I've seen it in stock.

  • oldyellah on 27/03/2024 - 18:33

    Just installed mine today from the last deal!
    Cloned the old OS over, all in all it took about 1.5 hours for the transfer and swap!

    • pinkybrain on 28/03/2024 - 00:31

      how did you clone it ?

      • oldyellah on 28/03/2024 - 01:59

        I use mini tool partition wizard 10. I've used it a fair few times now and it hasn't failed me once.

        https://youtu.be/cvmJfCzZV8U?si=dsh81fgO5v0dsMlK

        There's some links in this dudes video description where you can download the version 10 (I had some troubles with the newer version)

        It can also help move partitions of the drive if you need to expand your OS and your recovery partition is blocking the free space.

        I'd clone it first then do the partition swapping after you've installed the cloned drive.

        • pinkybrain on 28/03/2024 - 17:34

          so you connect steam deck to windows pc via usb c
          and image the steam deck SSD to an image file (and save it on a drive e.g D:\ etc..)
          then using that image file you clone it back to the steam deck after changing the SSD to the bigger 2TB SSD?

      • oldyellah on 28/03/2024 - 02:01

        And remember before you do anything, always backup your shit!

        • pinkybrain on 28/03/2024 - 17:35

          what files do you backup?

          do you just copy the game saves to a spare usb stick/hdd via the usb-c port etc?
