Corsair MP600 MINI 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Gen4 2 SSD – M.2 2230 – Up to 4,800MB/sec Sequential Read – High-Density 3D TLC NAND – Great for Steam Deck and Microsoft Surface – Black

Product Information

Miniaturization premium or not, the competing WD SN770M was quite a bit cheaper at the time of this writing. It's a great choice for use in Steam Decks, the Asus ROG Ally, or other handheld consoles with NVMe 2230 slots - allow me to explain why. You're not upgrading the SSD for speed improvements here; it's purely for the extra storage that it gives you. Form factors like the MP600 will surely push more laptops and other small device manufacturers to offer an externally accessible M.

If there is any faults, we will attempt to solve this remotely and if needed get the PC collected and back to base for repair.

The only 2230 SSD we’ve tested that utilizes 3-bit, TLC is the WD SN770M, which you’ll see along with the Rocket Q4 in the charts below. A 1TB capacity provides at the very least double the capacity than the top-level 512GB choice, and it's even better when compared to the base model 64GB option. Additionally, the SSD can serve as a storage expansion solution for the ASUS ROG Ally game console and various Microsoft Surface Pro devices.

slot, but it needs the proper support underneath to ensure that it maintains a stable connection with the connected device. The MP600 Core Mini is a host memory buffer (HMB) design that eschews DRAM for primary cache, instead relying on your device’s main memory for those duties. You might wonder why you’d need such a small drive, and the answer to that is quite simple- to provide storage to smaller devices such as Valve’s Steam Deck or Microsoft Surface, which allows you to add storage without needing to open up the tablet.

Storage is one of the most important components of any device, but it's especially important for gaming. If you've worked on a desktop computer or laptop before, then this isn't any more difficult - it's just a bit fiddlier due to the smaller sizes.

While not a perfect representation of actual workloads, synthetic tests do help to baseline storage devices with a repeatability factor that makes it easy to do apples-to-apples comparisons between competing solutions. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders. It not only allows you to have all of your games in one place, but it also, in part, dictates how quickly games can load. All of these tests leverage the common vdBench workload generator, with a scripting engine to automate and capture results over a large compute testing cluster.If you don’t throw absurd amounts of data at it, as we do in testing, the MP600 Core Mini offers more than acceptable performance. These workloads offer a range of different testing profiles ranging from “four corners” tests, and common database transfer size tests, to trace captures from different VDI environments. The Corsair MP600 Core Mini is a worthy upgrade for your Steam Deck or ROG Ally, though it faces stiff competition from WD’s SN770M as our top recommendation.
