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. As much as we've seen the launch of the new Steam Deck OLED, which has caused Steam to discontinue the 64GB and 128GB LCD models, adding a 1TB drive inside your Steam Deck offers a sizeable upgrade over pretty much every Steam Deck model in capacity and speed.

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. The Corsair MP600 Core Mini is oriented as a storage upgrade for the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Surface Pro as well as other small form factor devices that may utilize a 2230 form factor drive. It's also faster than the SSD provided with the 256GB and 512GB Steam Deck models, which maxes out at around 2500MB/s.
