Western Digital is creating new SSDs specifically in the form factor used in handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. These come in 500gb, 1tb, and 2tb options.

    True. I didn’t think about it, but I guess that should have been obvious since 2230 isn’t a common standard - manufacturers won’t spend for that.

    Meanwhile, i’ve had lots of WD drives without any issues. And some of my SSDs are TLC and QLC (before I knew about QLC longevity). I can’t imagine I’ll go wrong with these upcoming SN770 drives.

      Yeah, it’s significantly more expensive so only the commercial market values the reliability gains enough. Even then MLC, TLC get more reliable over time too.
