Crucial P310 (2 TB, M.2 2230 for handhelds)
An enthusiast-tier 2TB Gen4 NVMe in the compact M.2 2230 form factor, rated around 7100 MB/s read — the go-to 2TB upgrade for a Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or mini-PC. The tiny form factor is the whole point. It won't fit standard desktop M.2 2280 slots without a 2230 standoff, and being QLC it's not for sustained heavy writes.
