Hello friends,
I want to upgrade my NVMe from 512GB to 2TB. What NVMe models are considered the best fit for the Deck right now? What are your experiences with upgrade to 2TB?

The newly released Western Digital SN770 I guess
I just order the sn740 2TBdrives. I’ve put them in each deck for friends and family, and they are only £103.
WD 2TB M.2 2230 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SN770M
Upgraded from 512GB to a Sabrent Q4 2230 2TB.
Everything seems fine. Cant really say much about performance. Seems the same?
I picked up the WD black 2tb for $169
Out of curiosity, what is everyone doing with the extra storage? I have the 512 oled. I have 3 AAA titles on it and a bunch of indies. beyond that, if i “ran out of space” i’d just uninstall and install. What’s the purpose of a 2tb drive if you can’t get your whole library on it anyway?
I have my go-to games that I periodically return to for short gaming sessions or speedrunning, like GTA V, Witcher 3, all Half-Life games, etc. So those games have always to be installed without the option to uninstall them. Add 1-2 current AAA games to that I’m playing simultaneously plus couple of more recent emulated games like BotW or TotK, and your 512GB drive is pretty much full. In my case, 1TB may be sufficient. But if I go through the trouble of upgrading my storage anyway, why not put a 2TB drive inside, just to be sure.
Give me my nose back
i ordered one of those 2TB WD from aliexpress
May not be the cheapest, but Best Buy is currently selling the Western Digital SN770M for $170.
I got it earlier this week, along with an enclosure that can hold a 2230, and did the cloning process upgrade.
Took about 2 hours from start to finish. Went from 64gb to 2tb and am stoked at all the games I can add to it now.
I went with a Team Group one, best bang for your buck
