as easy to buy the right parts. The Steam Deck uses the smallest kind of modular SSD — the M.2 2230, which measures just 30mm long — and it’s only designed to fit a single-sided one, which has flash memory chips on one side.More importantly, M.2 2230 drives are generally considered OEM products that aren’t sold to customers at all because they’re generally not designed to be replaced by anyone save a depot technician.
And while I absolutely bought one off Amazon and another from eBay, I can’t say I got them from reputable sellers. They were probably shucked from existing tablet PCs like the Microsoft Surface line. Here, though, Framework is not only selling some direct to consumers — it’s selling one of the highest-capacity ones that will fit in your Deck:The Steam Deck’s SSD is inside the silver square. That’s the EMI shield, which can slide off or pop open.I don’t know if the 2TB SN740 is a good drive for the Deck — Valve warns that some drives drain the battery a little faster, for example — but I’ve mostly heard positive stories.
If you’re curious how hard it is to swap your Steam Deck’s SSD, check out my fan swap video below: the only difference is removing one extra screw, plus sliding the EMI shield off your existing drive and onto your new one. Be sure to remove your microSD card before opening the Deck, lest it gets guillotined.
