This previously popular M.2 2230 sized SSD is on sale again and while it's not an all time low it's the cheapest price I've seen in months and this is due to AliExpress ending their loss leading sales campaign. Fortunately you can get this even lower by stacking with 12% cashback at TopCashback and an extra 1% off with Coins.

A good option for upgrading the storage in handhelds such as the Steam Deck (OLED on sale here) and ASUS ROG Ally. As well as other devices like the Surface Pro 9, X, Surface Laptop 3, 4, Laptop Go and more. 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.

They can be used in various M.2 2230 USB-C enclosures found on AliExpress too.

    I can vouch for this NVMe in a Steam Deck LCD/OLED and the ROG Ally.

  • secondsolution on 20/08/2024 - 16:49

    Any concerns with buying from Aliexpress? I've only ever bought low price items from them.

      Low feedback (<95%) or stores with generic Shop8164727381 sounding names can be risky in that they won't send your item or they'll send you something completely different. Getting a refund for this is easy.

      The other risk is to expect no warranty but if it's a Choice item AliExpress will often refund or supply a return label. Choice items are quick to ship too - around 7-9 business days for delivery.

      • secondsolution on 20/08/2024 - 17:02

        Thank you. I'm going to give it a go, just got an Ally so it's great timing

          The AUS150 code doesn't seem to be working and tax is being charged on top making it closer to $180. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    • CyberMurning on 20/08/2024 - 17:00

      once i bought a phone aud 400 plus. it was okay.
      they will get delivered very fast

      Picked one up from this deal for my Deck, arrived a few days after purchasing and have had no issues with it - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/852885

      • BlackorRed on 20/08/2024 - 18:52

        did you have to clone the current to the new drive before install it?

        • Hawk Tuah on 20/08/2024 - 20:32

          Sorry can't advice there as I didn't bother with cloning as I'd only had the Deck for a couple weeks at that time, just did a fresh install of Steam OS.

    • indian81 on 20/08/2024 - 21:16

      I bought this during their last sale and the SSD was dead within 7 months. Dealing with their customer service was a hell and they don't guarantee their store products for more than 15 days. Be careful with your purchase.

  • caprimulgus on 20/08/2024 - 17:08

    Is the any possibility of organising a cheaper group buy / discount on these? (As per your comment on the coupon deal)

  • ATangk on 20/08/2024 - 17:14

    Still $25 more than previous… Maybe the cashback will make it hurt less

    I am getting charged $17.42 for tax bringing up total to $179.72.

    Anyone getting the same?

    Chose paypal

    • secondsolution on 20/08/2024 - 17:28

      Yep same boat for me

        Did you add the coupon code? AUS150

        • secondsolution on 20/08/2024 - 18:05

          It isn't working. I think because the welcome deal is already applying. Cant seem to be able to unselect it

          • Clear on 20/08/2024 - 19:16

            @secondsolution: Yep the Welcome Deal won't work with coupons. You can get some pretty cheap stuff with that offer.

    • ATangk on 20/08/2024 - 18:01

    Gee with vouchers i bought a second SK Hynix 2280 Platinum P41 2TB for outlay of $116.99 on Amazon and replaced the cheap n nasty SN740 256GB 2230 in my new Thinkbook 16 G6 IRL. Todat ordered from AliExpress Crucial 2x16GB DDR5 5600 for 133 came down to 123 with Cashrewards/AliExpress Code AUS080 and $8 cashback from Cashrewardss AliExpress are not always the cheapest, unless it is a sale! MAin have bout NVME enclosures, DDR4 Samsung, DDR Crucial RAM in past
    These are Dramless and very low TBW Maybe ok for steam but not good for PS% laptops and desktops

    • Damonator84 on 20/08/2024 - 17:45

      2280 vs 2230 is an unfair comparison, some ppl require a 2230 for like.. MS Surface…

      When did you buy it? It’s impossible to get it at this price now.

      As per the deal the price is inclusive of GST. I shouldn't need to remind you to actually click the link and apply the discount before commenting.

    They can be used in various M.2 2230 USB-C enclosures found on AliExpress too.

    Any recommendations? There seem to be a tonne of listings of different levels of sketchiness

    Just want one to clone my current SSD internal drive to make replacing easier

  • pointblank on 20/08/2024 - 18:31

    I've seen some 2230 extension boards to 2242.
    Would I be able to use this 2230 in the Firebat T8 Pro mini PC? Trying to decide if this is worthwhile or whether I just get a 2242 - although there seem to be less choices.

    • Clear on 20/08/2024 - 19:15

      Yep shouldn't be an issue.

    Can this be put in an adaptor for Xbox series X expansion?

  • mostlygordon on 20/08/2024 - 19:08

    Put one of these in my Surface Laptop 7. Working nicely for a few weeks.

      2230's are usually always more expensive than 2280's because 2280's are the 'standard' size. 2230's are niche.
      You cant compare the two

      • Clear on 20/08/2024 - 22:47

        It's like they expect us to cut down the SSDs to 2230 and expect it work.

    I have a 1tb my steam deck, filled up. So many games fit that I have choice paralysis and end up playing the same 2 or 3 games which makes me think whether I really needed more than the base 64gb it came with….

  • Wallace666 on 20/08/2024 - 21:07

    Mine came to $159 using PayPal. Thanks OP.

      Yes. A fake SN740 would be a first.

    Any good deal for portable?
