SABRENT Rocket 2230 NVMe 4.0 1TB High Performance PCIe 4.0 M.2 2230 SSD [SB-2130-1TB]

Got this to upgrade the Steam Deck. Works flawlessly.

I got this item after all! It was lost in my mail. I am sorry for the previous bad review. I hope this one replaces the previous one.

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).

Attention Nikon Z9 still photo guys out there! THIS IS THE BEST VALUE CFexpress type B card out there at this present moment! I little bit of back paddle here. Sabrent actually has been improving its cards for quite while. They are anoouncing now the new pink color not the blue one in 512GB, 1TB and 2TB versions with write speed of 1700MB/s. They are not available yet and the price is higher for assembled cards. Reading speed does not matter when you are shooting with a camera. What matters is the writing speed so that the buffer of the camera can be free as fast as possible. Nikon Z9 is a beast of speed. We need writing speeds as high as possible. This card delivers! Yes I built one and as soon as I made comparisons with the Angelbird 160GB AV PRO CFexpress 2.0 Type B SX Memory Card and the ProGrade Digital 165GB CFexpress 2.0 Type B Cobalt Memory Card I was so impressed that I purchased another one right of the bat! Yes, it does not write at the speed claimed Sabrent pink color cards claim 1700GB/s writing speed. The above cards claim 1600GB/s for Angelbird and 1500GB/s for Pro Grade. But since Sabrents claiming speed was higher than the two other cards I expected it would be close in the real world. Said and done! When you shoot C30, C60 and C120 on Nikon Z9 the number of photos are the same from the two cards mentioned above. One caveat. When shooting RAW 20FPS it buffers less photos than the other cards. However, its not to bad because as soon as you release the shutter button from the Z9 its buffer writes so fast to the card that after one or less seconds you are shooting back again. So here we go. The best price performance per GB out there right now. Not perfect yet. But 6.6 times more per GB memory. A winner hands down. I am looking forward to see what Sabrent will come up with next. No more expensive Nikon, Wise, Pro Grade or Angerbird for me. Happy with this card. BTW, there is also a high quality case by ZITAY CFexpress Type B Card to NVME M.2 2230 SSD Adapter Compatible with Nikon Z6 Z7 Z9 for this card out there. CNC machined really nice to assemble your own card. No, I am not being paid to say anything here. I am a photographer that always explore better options and boy after seeing the price of the CFexpress cards to star with my new Z9 I tough this is a rip off! Glad competition is really coming up and Sabrent is beating it! Go Sabrent go!

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

Only install this on your device if you know what youre doing. You cant blame a company or product for breaking your tech while improperly installing this. If you successfully install this, its your Steam Decks best internal storage option. The only issue I had was availability. I wanted a more practical storage option, but it sold out too fast. Hopefully, when you read this, you can get the storage option you want at the regular listing price or cheaper. I guess Im a hardcore gamer as Ive maxed out the 256GB version but originally wanted the 512GB. Your mileage may vary depending on the types of games youre playing and at what frequency and volume. So, youll have to do the math on the accumulative install size of all the games you plan to play on your Steam Deck. I also want to note that Sabrent is excellently supporting the Steam Deck. I recommend looking into their USB adapters, USB-C Hubs, Steam Deck Dock, SD Cards, and charging cables. Some Sabrent executives love the Steam Deck and keep releasing accessories for it - so Id watch for future Sabrent releases. And no, theyre not paying me for this review. Ive just bought their products for my Steam Deck.

At the time of writing its been working great in my steam deck for about 3 weeks now, would recommend

Great quality and value and a must have for the Steam Deck!

Deck has 1TB ssd now. Reimagine process took longer than the actual physical install. I didn’t have a setup to clone the SSDs. Don’t freak when the Deck boots up from the reimage. Only my touchscreen was working. None of the buttons worked before an update occurred. After the reimage, an update occurre, everything worked! Time will tell how much faster the SSD is. I think I’m limited by the deck’s SSD bus.

What a good upgrade for my surface
