This 2TB WD SN770M has plunged to a historic low price on Amazon
We’re seeing a lot more in the way of small form factor SSDs pop up on the market for use with the seemingly ever-growing sector of handheld games consoles including the likes of the Steam Deck, Asus ROG Ally and more, as people seek to add even more internal storage.
If you are one of those peeps, you’ll be pleased to know that one of the best Steam Deck SSDs out there, the WD Black SN770M is marked down to just £120 from Amazon, which is a steal compared to its usual £184 list price, and marks out this drive’s best price in months.

In terms of speed, the SN770M provides some of the best numbers on that list, with up to 5150MB/s reads and 4000MB/s writes. Even if the actual speeds will be limited by the PCIe 3.0 interface, the SN770M is still capable of offering speedy storage compared to what’s inside the Steam Deck already, while also yielding even more storage space. It’s at least doubling the storage over the top-end 1TB OLED model. Otherwise, it’s a four-fold increase over the 512GB model. If you’ve got an older 64GB or 128GB model, you’ll see the biggest gains from capacity. Those with a base 64GB LCD model will also see larger gains in terms of speed, too, given it uses slower eMMC storage that maxes out at 300MB/s. Whichever model you’re moving from though, you’re going to see excellent gains in both speed and capacity.
