Upgrade SSD M2 2230 NVME for Steam Deck

the Steam Deck game console uses an M2 2230 NVME SSD with 3 default capacities of 64GB, 256GB and 512GB. You can completely use a MicroSD memory card to upgrade your storage capacity, but this option is limited by speed. To ensure the highest performance, you should replace the internal hard drive of the machine.

Steam Deck SSD Upgrade Service

DroidShop offers SSD upgrade service for Steam Deck to 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities. This service will be upgraded directly by the shop’s technician at the store before or after you buy the device.

The hard drive used by the shop is a Samsung pm991a M2 2230 Nvme SSD with good performance.
