The Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally share a few things in common - besides being two of the most popular handheld gaming PC’s out on the market, they also share the same size of NVME SSD. Now when it comes to upgrading the storage on these - sure… you can slap a MicroSD in them and call it a day (talking of which, check out our favorite list of MicroSD cards here) but when it comes to speed and performance you really want to upgrade the SSD. You can watch my Steam Deck SSD upgrade video at the bottom of this article!

Sabrent Rocket 2230 NVMe 4.0 - 1TB & 2TB

These without a doubt are two of the most popular SSD upgrade choices out there right now for your Steam Deck or ROG Ally. Sabrent was the first brand to ship a 2TB SSD for retail in the United States and as you’d expect is a popular pick for these handheld consoles. I’ve been recommending this brand on Youtube since they were released and from what I’ve heard back - they are blazing fast and reliable. They are easy upgrade picks!

WD - BLACK SN770M 1TB & 2TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 2230 for ROG Ally and Steam Deck

If you’ve ever dabbled in SSD upgrades before - whether it be on the PS5 or your gaming PC you’ll no doubt have heard of Western Digitals ‘WD_Black’ brand! They specialise in gaming-tuned SSD’s and hard-drives. I use one of their 7200RPM drives in my gaming pc and it works great! Well they’re now dipping their toes in the handheld space with their new SN770M 1TB and 2TB variants marketed specifically for the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. This will be my #2 pick for now simply because it’s only available for purchase at Best Buy!
