Well the dogfish is $85 now on prime day? It’s still faster than the emmc drive and uses less power than these over the top rockets and np nascar 500s. Have fun plugging your steam deck back in every hour lol sometimes less is more 🤷♂️ to each his/her own
None, because the steam deck is gen3, they all will run the same. The thing you need to factor in is heat and QLC vs TLC, TLC has better all around performance, but nothing you will even notice on the steam deck.
The main thing I’ve been noticing is that the Sabrent brand, after installing into a SteamDeck, you get around 937 GB of space while on the Corsair, the number is 917 GB.
It’s good to see more competition in this form factor as any time I’ve previously looked at the 2230 format SSDs ….. they’ve been waaay pricier than the standard 2280s. With competition and flash nand memory prices crashing, we should see some amazing prices coming out from all manufacturers imo.
Well done. Thank you. I was already leaning towards the Sabrent but when I just looked on Amazon, as of 9/1/23 the price of the 1 TB Sabrent went down to $89.99 US so I definitely had to jump on that deal. Thanks for the video. Subscribed.
Super relevant not just for Steam Deck owners, but people who preordered their Framewoek 16 laptops! They have 2 NVME slots but only one 2280 and one 2230. I'm planning on Windows on a 2TB WD 850x and Fedora 38 on a 1TB Corsair MP600 mini as in your review. I love your channel btw! Great presentation, clear and concise! Subscribed!
Thank you for the breakdown. Was looking for an SSD for the steam deck, very informative and helped me make a choice. Where I am the Sabrent is the cheapest, the Mini is a little more expensive and out of stock. Thank you for helping me make a choice!
Very Awesome video, thanks so much! I was researching to upgrade my SurfacePro 7+ SSD, couldn't find much info on 2230's, so Many Thanks for this comparison video! Cheers
Thank you 🙏🙏👍👍 Techtesters for the dedicate testing for these new M.2 2230. I'm thinking to pick-up the 2-TB one for my Lenovo Legion Go, should I go with the Corsair MP600 CORE Mini 2TB? Best and keep up the great work.
Brother bought the MP600 mini to upgrade his 64gb Steam Deck getting it in a few days. Wont bother myself have a oled 512gb Steam Deck want 2 tb or more.
I just bought a 2TB Silicon Power 2230 M.2 drive to use as an external SSD. I paired that up with a cheap rugged little aluminum case with a rubber sleeve and it's great. I bought some tiny little usb-c to usb-c adaptors, they aren't cables, and i'm good to go for using this as an external drive.
Thanks for the great review ☺️ just a small nitpick: should have included the power consumption of all the drives which is very important on the steam deck.
I plan on upgrading my steam deck this year. One question considering I done a lot with mines already. Does this mean I have to buy another micro SD and/or reformat after the SSD upgrade?? I have Emudeck save data I would like to preserve
Just wanted to say my boy kingcatothegamer615 research one of you videos to play starfield on his gaming laptop that had SSD but its limited, so he watched a video that yall did on external ssds and the crucial does the trick and yall had it rated high with another so yall keep up the work
I can remember when the 20 gb hdd was made available. Hech I remember storage on 51/4 floppy. As a teen in 1980 I have had the rare privilege of watching technology advancing. To think the first hard drive was 16 ft and over a ton in weight. Capacity was about 5MB of data in 1956. Now look at storage drives over 70 years later.
Caution! check power consuption, try to choose lower wattage ssd! There are problem with main powerline (bus) and can cause overheating, or premature wearout of components. Especially in charging module.
thank god you guys did a review of this type of product. I was thinking on creating an small compact external drive using this type of ssd to stay in my wallet for when i need.
The pricing is hilarious. Unless you can't find them, no reason to not buy the Corsair. Which I would probably do anyway as I have good experience with Corsair products. Thanks for the video.
@@demonkinglamb636 the stock SSD from the Ally is really slow and fairly lacking in space. there was no way I was waiting 6 months to swap it. but now I can wait for a sale if I ever need a bit more space. the 1tb is doing it for me atm. haven't had the need to expand it yet since that time.
Hi, thanks for your different SSD reviews. Are you able to do a video from Best Value, Price to Performance to Best Performance NVMe Gen 3 SSD review? With or without DRAM cache and HMB. As Gen 4 is still a bit expensive here 😅
i was actually looking for a gen 3.0 2230 drive a couple days ago thinking it would be a little bit cheaper but I couldn't find any on amazon. I don't think they are made anymore.
Has anyone here perhaps changed the drive to Corsair MP600 Mini 1TB PCI-E 4.0 x4 NVMe? how does it perform after a longer time? say after a month? were there any problems? the drive didn't crash the console?
Were these tests done on the steam deck itself? Sorry, I skipped the intro a little, due to a lack of time. If not, I recommend testing these drives on the deck itself IF possible. The deck cant cool SSDs that well.
there's more ssds out there than just these three. wanted to see how this compared to the western digital and to teamgroup. also, dogfish might have been rebranded as kingspec but even kingspec was not in this comparison. disappointed the other ssds were not even addressed for a comparison. :-/
the sabrent drive is so expensive in europe because they are shipped from the states and export/other fee's/etc are included in the cost, so getting drives that we can get locally'ish will certainly bring those prices down.
It's not clear, but it seems that you didn't run these tests on the steam deck, so this is pointless for steam deck users. Do they make a difference in a Steam deck
I just bought my Rog ally and i really hope samsung brings something better to the table for these handhelds because i want to push the limits on my gen4 so it can be faster and last a long time
i picked the corsair mp600 mini because its cheap plus its on sale when i bought it it's been a month since i upgraded still no issue hope it last. i worry because i keep seeing people on youtube that their steam deck chipset are exploding
That's disappointing 😞. I was looking for a review for my WD Framework 2tb 2230. Before I installed it in my Steam Deck. Smh. I hope the product is as good as the ones in the video. Well, I guess it's time to open her up!
When are you going to talk about the best motherboard to use with 7000 series AMD cpu's that won't burn up my CPU since ASUS motherboards failed in such a big and destructive way .
Dogfish is an awful company. Got an SSD from them and it had malware baked into the drive and died in two months. They wouldn't honor the warranty and had to fight with Amazon over it.

She should of mentioned models that have a 2tb size like the micron 2400 series. As well as other 2tb models From other manufacturers
@@zacthegamer6145 no stock anywhere. WD themselves didnt have any either.
I go DogFish cuz the name is superior! Love it
In regards to the Dogfish SSD, I was expecting to hear ''Their marketing is a bit fishy'' but that's how bad I'm into bad jokes. 😂
Damn. Missed opportunity 😂
No need to be catty (catfish) 🤦♂🤦♀🙈about it 😅😂🤣
maybe they should have call it Dogsh!t instead

I wish you had run the same benchmarks on the stock Steam Deck SSDs, so we could tell how much of an improvement this was.
None, because the steam deck is gen3, they all will run the same. The thing you need to factor in is heat and QLC vs TLC, TLC has better all around performance, but nothing you will even notice on the steam deck.
The main thing I’ve been noticing is that the Sabrent brand, after installing into a SteamDeck, you get around 937 GB of space while on the Corsair, the number is 917 GB.

Plus stupid since some of the 2280 SSD, literally can be 2230/42 size. Looking at WD SN520.
Excellent SSD reviews :) The application categorization is really useful for the viewers
Is the WD_Black 2tb better?
Thank you. Just got a Steam Deck and this video gave me the info I needed for a SSD upgrade

Dogfish SSD Final Verdict?
1: Top Dog
2: Fairly priced hotdog
3:Fully Digested Dog food
If it was half the price I'd say 2.
With current prices it's expired d-tier dogfood.
@@TechTesters 🤣🤣🤣... definitely absolutely dodgy dog food

Wish there were more 2TB options apart from the SN740. Although the MP600 Mini looks like a solid option for 1TB.
The one sold by iFixit?
Brother bought the MP600 mini to upgrade his 64gb Steam Deck getting it in a few days.
Wont bother myself have a oled 512gb Steam Deck want 2 tb or more.
Silicon Power has them. I just bought one a few days ago to use as an external drive with a small case. It works great. I paid $150.00 for it.

What is the power consumption of each of these drives? I’m in the market for one
@@JPink1 No idea, I purchased one from ifixit which consumes maximum 3.3 V / 2.5A. That’s the 2 TB SSD

Wow this is an amazing SSD review.
I saw some people recommending that DogFish SSD, but I was skeptical. I think the price was much better before though.
Surprised you didn't also include the WD PC SN740 Gen4 NVMe which is available in 512GB/1TB/2TB capacities (all in 2230 size) .
Wanted to, but it wasn't in stock anywhere and WD said they didn't have any samples to test either.
@@TechTesters Impossible to buy sn740 in europe
i would not suggest anyone buy something based off Amazon reviews
Clearly 😅
Lots of fake reviews.

Yeah same was 16 in 1980.
Wish these had been available when I bought my Steamdeck - ended up getting a Dell branded drive, at around twice the cost of these..
I installed the Corsair 1tb and it works soooo good and has very very fast transfers
Not as good as the dogfish!
I went with the corsair because it was the cheapest I could find (at the time of this comment). I can't wait to install it once I get my deck
Caution! check power consuption, try to choose lower wattage ssd! There are problem with main powerline (bus) and can cause overheating, or premature wearout of components.
Especially in charging module.
But how does this compare to the drive that comes in both the asus rog ally and the steam deck?
You should have tested power draw :/ kind of a big deal on handheld devices
So for Steam deck the WD is better than the Sabrent?
thank god you guys did a review of this type of product.
I was thinking on creating an small compact external drive using this type of ssd to stay in my wallet for when i need.
Do they have 2230 NVME to USB-C enclosures? That would be amazing!
The pricing is hilarious.
Unless you can't find them, no reason to not buy the Corsair. Which I would probably do anyway as I have good experience with Corsair products.
Thanks for the video.
when i replace my 256gb i wanna go 2tb.
will you update this test with the higher capacity modells in future?
How do these temps and performance numbers compare to the stock 64/256/512GB SSD that come with the Steam Deck?
corsair is 90usd atm. just snagged 1 in amazon for my RoG ally. still wish we had 2TB options.
If you waited 6 months later you could have picked up the Corsair 2TB for $165.
@@demonkinglamb636 the stock SSD from the Ally is really slow and fairly lacking in space. there was no way I was waiting 6 months to swap it. but now I can wait for a sale if I ever need a bit more space. the 1tb is doing it for me atm. haven't had the need to expand it yet since that time.
Wouldn't not having DRAM be bad in long term? Does the 512 steam deck internal ssd have dram?
You don’t really have a choice with 2230 ssds though
Great review, good options. I get Elizabeth Olsen vibes.
Thank you! And I'll take the compliment 😅
Just curious how do these compare to the default steam deck ssd
thanks for making that video talking about the ssd for steamdeck cuz i sure have one and i need a ssd which is very good Sabrent or Corsair mp600 mini
can we use the mini ssd for external enclosure?
Hi, thanks for your different SSD reviews. Are you able to do a video from Best Value, Price to Performance to Best Performance NVMe Gen 3 SSD review? With or without DRAM cache and HMB. As Gen 4 is still a bit expensive here 😅

@@NonLegitNation2 Maybe, but 2280 is the main SSD type so I won't be surprised
@@HardyDimension oh, yeah for 2280 there's plenty of Gen 3 drives out there.
Nice review and comparison! I was hoping to see the Kioxia also included since it's available in Benelux 🙂
Hopefully soon, but don't have it yet :)

That dogfish SSD is "DOGSHIT", performing lot less than the other SSD's while charging more than them.

I got the 2TB WD SN740 for £150, from an eBay store, feedback all okay from what I saw.
How is it
Yeah 2tb is more like it.
Would the corsair be good for music files?
Of course.

Hi! Are you still using the Steam Deck with the WD Black SN770M? So far, how was it?
Sabrent already lowered their price to 109.
Got my corsair for $99. Sounds like you can't go wrong with either or though
What about the Frameworks 2230 ssd? Test that.
that's the WD SN740 that isn't in stock anywhere. I asked WD as well and they didn't have any or even an ETA.

I'll see what I can do :)
thats neat but im getting a 2tb 2230 ssd for the ally ^_^
I'm sure they're all grand
Aha so that's what 2280 means dank je!
These could also go into Surface Pros with replaceable SSDs. That Dogfish though, it's both fishy and runs like a dog 🤣
Don't forget to LIKE the video
Theyre so cute ❤❤
Please add random read/write tests to your storage reviews, a sequential benchmark is hardly relevant in real use.
Pc mark 10 is heavily focussed on random perf.
