Compact M.2 2230 drive for handhelds and laptops

This PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.4 SSD fits the M.2 2230 slot found in devices such as the Steam Deck, ROG Ally and MSI Claw. It adds 2TB of 3D NAND storage for games, media and large files.

No bundled software or accessories included

The drive ships as a bare module without a heatsink, relying on the host device for thermal management. Performance scales with the platform PCIe 4.0 link and NVMe 1.4 protocol.

Built for 0 °C to 70 °C operation

The single-sided 2230 form factor slides into tight bays without extra clearance. A standard M-key connector ensures direct attachment to compatible motherboards or daughter boards.

Questions about this item

Will the 3D NAND memory cells wear out and require drive replacement?

The drive is rated for a mean time between failures of 1500000 hours, indicating a long service life before any replacement would be needed.

Does the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface or the 7300 MBps read speed limit sustained throughput first?

The interface caps at the PCIe 4.0 x4 lane bandwidth, so that ceiling appears before the rated 7300 MBps sequential read figure during heavy workloads.

How hot does the M.2 2230 drive get when running all day without a heatsink?

It is rated to operate continuously between 0°C and 70°C, so expect temperatures within that range during extended use without active cooling.
