On sale is this M.2 2230 sized SSD that's an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their Steam Deck, ASU Rog Ally, Surface Pro 9, X, Surface Laptop 3, 4, Laptop Go and more. While this isn't quite as low as the previous deal it is the best price I can find on AliExpress and worth the price.

Since this is a Gen4 SSD you shouldn't use it with the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Pro 7+ due to stability issues. Both of these have no issues with Gen3 SSDs.

This one offers a sequential read up to 5150 MB/s, sequential write up to 4850 MB/s and uses Toshiba BiCS5 112l or SanDisk TLC flash. Unfortunately 2230 sized SSDs don't have DRAM cache, but this one uses pSLC cache and HMB to make up for it so it's perfectly fine for gaming. Especially when a lot of other similar SSDs are QLC.

How to get the AU$ price in the title with PayPal:

Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

• Set the website currency to USD
• Checkout with PayPal
• Select your card with no international fees
• Click "See currency options"
• Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
• Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.

  Thanks got one. I was looking for the HIKSemi DK4000 but wasn’t on sale - this’ll do just as well!

    Can't go wrong with this despite the DK4000 being the best M.2 2230 SSD out there.

    Why you want this over the WD?

    how much it normally cost?

    what country makes this SSD?

  Looks like a Samsung knockoff.

    Definitely a knock off since there's no brand and no way it'll be 4TB either.

  Hm the link is dead, wonder if it's out of stock

    If it was out of stock it would say so. Rather you're using a VPN, Starlink or something else masking your location and AliExpress don't like it.

      Weird, I don't have VPN running but changing browser works for some reason, very strange!

        Potentially some sort of browser plugin or setting blocking tracking cookies would do it.

  Looks like the 2TB is gone, price is jacked up and doesn't deliver to your place.

  Been patiently waiting for this deal to come back.
