Good lord, PC games are getting big. It’s not uncommon for a single AAA game to cross the 50GB threshold these days, which makes things kind of awkward when you don’t have a massive drive. Loading up Baldur’s Gate III on a base model Steam Deck will eat up half the storage.
But you can leave those woes behind you with this crazy deal. Right now, you can get an easy SSD upgrade for your Steam Deck, bumping it up to 2TB for just $125 on Newegg with a coupon code.
The SSD in question is the Corsair MP600 Core Mini, a teeny-tiny M.2 2230 SSD that’s made specifically for the smallest PCs around. We reviewed it in 2023, back when it went for $200 at the 2TB level. Today, Newegg is selling it for $140 plus an extra $15 off when you apply the SAEN2A288 coupon code at checkout.
The MP600 Core Mini isn’t the fastest SSD around, or even the fastest to feature Gen 4 speeds, but it’s more than fast enough for PC gaming. The standard 2230 size is also compatible with other handheld gaming PCs like the Asus ROG Ally or the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go S, as well as all but the tiniest of laptops. (It’ll work fine on a full desktop motherboard with an M.2 slot, sure, but there are more economical full-length 2280 drives for that purpose.)
The process for upgrading your Steam Deck is pretty straightforward — all you need is a screwdriver. Most similar devices are just as easy to work with. Newegg’s sale doesn’t have an expiration date listed on the product page, but they often end as soon as stock runs out, so I’d hurry and order one if you want to make this awesome upgrade.
