Currently the M. 2230 2TB SSDs are $50 off at bestbuy, they're $169.99 - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-black-sn770m-2tb-internal-ssd-pcie-gen-4-x4-m-2-2230-for-rog-ally-and-steam-deck/6551144.p?skuId=6551144

And the 4tb Samsung Pro 990 is the cheapest I've seen at $250 - https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/990-pro-pcie-4-0-nvme-ssd-4tb-mz-v9p4t0b-am/

These are the best drives and prices I've seen if you want the most storage for your 16" when it comes in!

Isn't the SN770M a 2230 SSD? Those are always more expensive because of how dense the NAND has to be.

You're right I check it and it is. I'm not sure why OP was looking at those.

For the 16" coming out. It has a 2280 and 2230 drive slot. Did you read the post?

Oh, i wasn't aware the 16-inch has one of the tiny slots. Does the expansion bay thing on the back have more m.2 expansion?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yep, if you decided against the GPU, you have two more M2 slots in the shell. I worry they won't be available in future expansion options (like a battery for example) though; so I'm not planning on counting on them.
