  How does warranty or faults work with these? I'm guessing not much support?

  Great price, but you may want to remove Surface Pro 8 from the list of compatible devices in the deal description.

  DOES NOT WORK IN SP8 - Some of these SSDs will crash constantly in SP8 and some will not. We tested it in our SP8 and it seems completely random; we could not tell why some worked and some did not.

    Would be power management issues - some of these drives draw more than the slot is rated for.

    Done, thanks for the heads up. Was just copied and pasted from a previous deal.

    How do you clone the SSD in the surface of you are upgrading?

    Is there an easy guide?

  Going by the read write speeds listed in the ad, wouldnt the 1tb be faster and use less power (vs the 2tb) ?
  I was gonna get one for my Steam Deck.

    I put one in my steam deck and it's great. Very fast and it's half full already. Glad I didn't go with the 1TB.

  Can I clone my current ssd on my steam deck and just transfer over to new one or do I have to reinstall everything ?

  • 

    grumpybum on 21/03/2023 - 09:57

    You can image the old one onto the new one and keep everything. I read somewhere that you can use an external enclosure for the new drive and do it directly from the steam deck but I haven't tried it.

    SmoothCactus on 22/03/2023 - 21:41

    Yes.

    Don’t spend all the effort and time remaining a new drive.

    Use clonezilla, and clone to the new drive, been tried and tested by lots of people with no issues.

  hmm.. Very tempting to max out my GPD Win 2 Max's 2230 slot. Though I think it is ok at the moment since I've got a 512GB one in there for the boot drive. Definitely not a bad price for a 2TB 2230.

  Nice, recently bought the 1TB one from same seller to go with the steam deck I'm re-shipping from US while it has 10% discount.

    cheepo on 21/03/2023 - 18:05

    What did it cost you all up and who are you going through to get it shipped here?

      I used reship.com. All up $620aud with cheapest shipping option. (+$140 for new 1tb ssd)

  Homr on 21/03/2023 - 15:10

  is there a 512gb version??

  2TB is overkill for Surface Pro

  • 

    drinkin-beer on 21/03/2023 - 16:04

    There sure is but there will be less of a discount. Try the codes listed in the post below and see what it comes out to.
