Good Things Come in Small Packages: The Rocket 2230 fits just about anywhere. Need to upgrade your Steam Deck, Microsoft Surface, or other device where space is limited? We have you covered. Don’t risk buying a pulled OEM drive from a shady site – get a brand-new retail SSD designed to make your life easier. It also works on many longer slots so it will always be useful, plus it might be the right fit for your HTPC or smaller system.
David Versus Goliath: Don’t let the small size fool you: the Rocket 2230 is one very fast drive. It offers Gen4 NVMe performance in a tiny form factor. Hit up to 5GBps and push up to 800K IOPS with slick responsiveness. It’s also backward compatible with Gen3 and Gen2 PCIe slots with reduced bandwidth, but retains excellent latency.
Larger Than It Looks: Many 2230 drives are limited in capacity, which can make life more difficult, especially when trying to build a large game collection. Many devices come with limited internal storage space, forcing you to pay a premium or to rely on microSD cards. Now you can store everything you want on one drive as the Rocket 2230 comes in capacities of up to 1TB.
Cutting-Edge Hardware: The Rocket 2230 features the new PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD controller with exceptional 3D TLC. Often you have to compromise with 2230 drives, settling for embedded controllers and/or QLC for capacity. Our new Gen4 controller offers gaming desktop class performance combined with efficient flash for the best experience. DRAM-less with HMB support, it also won’t overheat your device.
Sabrent Works for You: Our retail drive comes with full for complete support, unlike OEM drives that you might buy second-hand. This includes a download of Sabrent Acronis True Image so you can clone your old drive. This drive will also be supported with any necessary firmware updates, ensuring future compatibility.

Title: Flawless performance in the SteamDeck
Review: I have a 65GB SteamDeck and had been eyeing this drive as an upgrade route. When it became available I pounced.I would highly recommend buying a cheap enclosure in addition to this drive as it allows you to rapidly clone the original 65GB drive from the Deck itself.I popped this 1TB drive into the cheap enclosure (that I had verified worked with 2230 size SSDs). Plugged the enclosure into the SteamDeck then went into the SteamDeck desktop mode, opened Konsole. If you haven’t already created a sudo password go Google how to do that then proceed.I used the following command which I manually typed into Konsole using the on-screen keyboard:sudo dd if=/dev/nvme0n1 of=/dev/sda oflag=sync bs=128M status=progressKonsole will then show the progress as it copies across the contents of 64GB card to the external 1TB card. It took about 8 minutes for me.I then powered off the Deck, entered the Deck BIOS and switched on battery shipping mode (to reduce any risks). I then followed a YouTube video to take the Deck apart and installed this drive. The whole process took about 30 minutes.The SteamDeck started up first time with no problems, no migration issues and the Deck had automatically increased the partition size so I had over 800GB of SSD space to play with! Magic!

Title: Great for Steam Deck
Review: Much like everyone else here i got this for my Steam Deck to give it a bit more storage. Really easy to install and the drive works perfectly. Fits in the steam deck shield with no issues. Simple slide the old one out and this one will slide right in. Recommended for anyone wanting more storage in their steam deck. Also the little case it comes in is a nice little extra. Just note you’ll need a usb-c pen drive or adapter with a usb a to re install the OS on the Deck.

Title: Finally a gem after a few bad alternatives
Review: Fully recommend this dock. Feature-wise I’ve found little that matches it for both output resolution and usb port count. Only limitations are a lack of display port and Ethernet port. Neither of which were a concern for me.If you have a JSAUX bumper case you might not like this as it didn’t sit flush in the dock. Also the recess for the charge port meant the charge cable barely fit in. You could counter this with a usb extension cable, but if like me you rarely play handheld, then I only put the bumper back on when playing away from home and never in the dock

Title: Used with a ROG ally.
Review: Got to upgrade my rog ally’s internal memory. Works perfect. Easy as taking off the back of the device and replacing the original with the new one. I then just went through the rog ally set up as it was a brand new device and I didn’t need to clone anything over. Once that was done everything worked perfect and I have about four times the space capacity I did before.Price is about right for the capacity. Did the job fine.

Title: Steam Deck Upgrade
Review: Got the Sabrent 512gb to replace my 256gb in built to my steam deck. Easy enough to install I followed the iFixit guide online. Works well with better read and write times than the standard SSD and vastly better than an SD card.

Title: Great choice for the steam deck
Review: The Steam Deck is a fantastic item, but you need to upgrade the memory of the SSD, on all of them. I watched a few videos regarding replacing the SSD and i would suggest watching a few all the way through as you cant just pop a new SSD in. This one came in a protected metal box, it is the size of a stamp which i was not expecting but installed showing a fantastic amount of space and its been running a month without issues. And a great price!

Review: Got a refurb Dell Optiplex 3080 with slow hard drive. Got this NVME, it fits the Dell perfect, able to fresh install Win10. Speed was much much faster than the slow harddrive the dell came with. Overall no issues and speed was great! Price was good since I only needed 256gb

Review: Llegó en perfecto estado y en tiempo.Lo compre para actualizar mi Steam deck de 64gb, hice una clonacion de la tarjeta de 64gb a esta tarjeta por medio de mi desktop. Se reiniciaba en algunos juegos pero se solucionó haciendo un reinicio de fábrica ya con la tarjetas de 1tb. Ha funcionado muy bien desde entonces para guardar muchos juegos de steam. La carga de juegos es buena si tarda menos tiempo que cargarlos desde una Micro SD. Recomendable.

Review: Wife bought me this for our 256gb steamdeck. It is now a 1tb steamdeck. it was waaaaaaaay easier than I had thought it would be. Can’t recommend the upgrade enough. 20 minutes approx. to replace the drive, and now I have a 256gb spare nvme that I threw in an external enclosure (also from amazon). Great price, great product, easy installation, fast shipping (even including the blizard delays)…. can’t ask for anything else.. well done everyone involved 🙂
