PNY’s new M.2 2230 SSD aims to be the best upgrade for Steam Deck, ROG Ally and other handhelds

If you own a handheld gaming console like the Steam Deck, the ROG Ally, MSI Claw or Lenovo Legion Go, then you are likely to look into upgrading the SSD at some point. Through an aftermarket upgrade, owners of these systems can put in a faster, higher-capacity SSD themselves at lower cost. Now, PNY is making a case for its new M.2 2230 SSD to be considered the go-to drive for anyone looking to upgrade their gaming handheld.

The new PNY CS2342 M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD boasts some of the fastest 2230 read and write speeds on the market, with up to 7,300/6,000 MB/s. That means your games will load faster, and you'll notice less pop-in or stutter-related issues in games with extremely large file sizes.

Here are the full product specifications for the PNY CS2342 M.2 2230 NVMe SSD:

• Interface: PCIe Gen4 Interface (NVMe Gen4 x4)
• Speed: up to 7,300 MB/s Read and up to 6,000 MB/s Write (varies by capacity)2
• Capacities: 2TB/1TB1
• Form Factor: M.2 2230
• Warranty: 5-Year limited warranty or TBW3

The new PNY CS2342 M.2 2230 SSDs will be available later this month over in the US, with prices starting at $69.99 for the 1TB version and $134.99 for the 2TB version.
