We’re seeing a lot more in the way of small form factor SSDs pop up on the market for use with the seemingly ever-growing sector of handheld games consoles including the likes of the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally and more, as people seek to add even more internal storage to their consoles with games becoming bigger by the moment.
If you are one of those peeps, you’ll be pleased to know that one of the best Steam Deck SSDs out there, the WD Black SN770M has been marked down to best price in months at £112 from Ebuyer’s eBay store with code HIGH10.

In terms of speed, the SN770M provides some of the best numbers from that ranking, with up to 5150MB/s reads and 4000MB/s writes. Even if the actual speeds will be limited by the PCIe 3.0 interface, the SN770M is still capable of offering speedy storage compared to what’s inside the Steam Deck already, whether you’re upgrading from the internal SSD in some models, and especially if you’re bumping up from the base model’s comparably sluggish eMMC storage. Whatever way you cut it, the SN770M represents a major upgrade in terms of speed. In addition, it will also be a big upgrade on the front of at least doubling the internal storage of the larger 1TB model, with bigger orders of magnitude as you go down the options.
