Description

Optimized for Steam Deck, Surface, and small form-factor systems. No adapter required. Game faster and boot quicker with blazing fast PCIe 4.0 performance in a 2230 size. Stop relying on slow microSDs—install up to 2TB internally with QLC speed and efficiency. Works out of the box with modern handhelds. Ally may require a screw adapter. The SABRENT Rocket Q4 2230 NVMe SSD is built for a new generation of compact, high-performance computing. Whether you’re upgrading your Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, Microsoft Surface Pro, or a Mini PC, this single-sided M.2 2230 NVMe SSD provides a perfect balance of speed, capacity, and compatibility. It’s a true 2230 SSD—engineered to fit without adapters or awkward compromises, while still delivering the performance you expect from a Gen4 NVMe drive. Most devices in this category are space-constrained, making it critical that your SSD is not only compact but also thermally and electrically efficient. That’s where the Rocket Q4 2230 shines. Powered by a next-generation Phison E21T controller and populated with high-density Micron QLC NAND, this SSD offers read speeds of up to 5,000MB/s and write speeds up to 3,800MB/s, along with excellent random IOPS performance. That means faster load times, snappier installs, quicker file transfers, and smoother multitasking—even on mobile or low-power platforms. This SSD uses a DRAM-less design with Host Memory Buffer (HMB) support, meaning it can deliver top-tier responsiveness without requiring onboard DRAM. That translates into better battery efficiency and cooler operation, ideal for gaming handhelds and ultraportable systems. Whether you’re building a lightweight travel PC or pushing your handheld console to the limit, this drive was made to perform silently in the background. Capacity is no issue either: With up to 2TB in a single-sided 2230 footprint, you can ditch external drives and stop juggling microSD cards. Install your full game library, massive creative projects, or operating systems without worrying about space. This makes the Rocket Q4 2230 a great fit not only for gamers but also for creators, business users, and developers looking to expand fast internal storage in small form factors. It’s also a smarter long-term investment. Unlike OEM or used pulls that come with no support, uncertain compatibility, or firmware limitations, the Rocket Q4 2230 is a brand-new, retail-packaged drive backed by Sabrent’s technical support and firmware update roadmap. We also include a free download of Acronis True Image, making it easy to clone your old drive and get up and running in minutes—no reinstalling or formatting necessary. Installation is simple in most cases. Steam Deck users will find a native fit. ROG Ally users may require a screw relocation or bracket, which is a one-time mod. Surface users should check model-specific 2230 support, but most modern Surface Pro and Surface Laptop variants with NVMe support are fully compatible. In short, this is the SSD your compact system deserves. No adapters. No risks. No compromises. Just massive storage, modern performance, and true 2230 form factor compatibility in a retail-ready package. Is this drive compatible with Steam Deck? Yes, it fits perfectly and delivers significant speed and capacity improvements. Does it work with ROG Ally? Yes, but may require a screw relocation or adapter. What controller does it use? The Phison E21T Gen4 NVMe controller, optimized for HMB. Can I clone my old SSD to this one? Yes, Acronis True Image is included free for seamless cloning. Sabrent is a leading provider of innovative consumer electronics. We are committed to designing and developing products that provide the utmost quality, dependability, and value.

Overkill for a steamdeck or surface but the density is right!
Size: 2TB
I purchased a steamdeck and managed to pick up a 2TB grey market western digital drive (guessing for a surface off of Amazon) and had my 512GB steamdeck drive slapped into my surface pro 9 that only came with 256GB of storage. Half a year later I wanted a larger drive for my surface so that I can dual boot it and use it like a giant kindle so I looked around and found out about the new Sabrent model. I recall a rep talking about the 1TB model and stating they hope to be able to release a 2TB model if it fits their thermal specs and four months later things went well and we have this 2TB model. If I had to do it again I would have put one of these in my steamdeck as well but luckily my weird 2TB drive is going strong but after great luck with Sabrent I'm a happy camper with this 2TB drive in my Surface Pro 9. I use Sabrent PCIe to M.2 adapters and I also use their 4TB gen 3 drives in a six drive ZFS array that I play game off of over 25Gbps OM4 optics. So I trust Sabrent drives enough to offload all my high speed NAS usage needs to an all NVMe RAID built from their drives and I find their M.2 to PCIe adapters quite handy given I'm using a motherboard lacking PCIe lanes to M.2 sockets so their adapter boards have come in handy in expanding my RAID to 6 drives and I bet I can pull off a 7th with a x8/x8 bifurcation adapter for my raptor lake CPU. I always thought M.2 2230 was a dumb standard, now I get it. I hope the slightly longer standard of 42mm, starts to take off after the success of this product. For those of you who are only familiar with M.2 2280, the way to decode that number is M.2 22mm x 80mm. All M.2 drives in the consumer space are the same width (all are typically PCIe x4 so this can't change much) and so only the length of the card differs. This is the shortest kind of M.2 since it's only 30mm in length, which is why it's a "M.2 2230" card. Before you purchase this card, make sure you really need a short M.2 2230 drive, perhaps a 2242, 2280 (very common) will fit and on the plus side the performance should be better since higher end controllers can be used, especially in the very common M.2 2280 form factor (22mm by 80mm "stick of gum" form factor). It's great that this card is gen 4 for future proofing, but most of the devices that can accomdinate this card today are not going to put that bandwidth to great use so expect some slight slowdowns (or a lot on the steamdeck, not that you should be expecting much there in the first place). Very happy using this product to dual boot Windows 11 Pro and Linux Mint 21.1, I think split the drive in half Windows:Linux 50:50 and it's working great. Again make sure the device you are attempting to purchase this drive for really needs a M.2 2230 drive to fit. I can use it on a Surface Pro 9 and Steamdeck which are small/thin requiring such a short (30mm) M.2 drive. If your system can accomindate a longer drive like 80mm (M.2 2280) then get that since cooling will be better and performance much higher. This drive is made for small stuff so use it in small stuff, otherwise go with something where the thermals/performance will be better, the only use case that makes sense of using this drive in a M.2 2280 socket would be to leverage the drive later in a compact device. But for compact spaces this drive thrives and I'm glad it was brought to the market. ... show more

Perfect for my ROG Ally
Size: 2TB
Love that now I have 2TB on my ROG Ally but you do only get 1.8TB of the storage but that is still plenty for most of your games and stuff.. easy to install and once you install it, well it does take a while since you have to re installing everything in the handheld and downloading games and apps are really really fast.. I got a steady speed between 600 to 700MB when downloading a game and it took about 30 minutes or less to download a game that has about 120GB.. the initial boost when downloading a game with this SSD was about max 900 and something MB for like 2 min and then it dropped to 600 to 700MB per second.. no problems with this SSD and just perfect for the ROG Ally.. highly recommend and worth the price for it ... show more

A MUST buy for any steam deck owner that is considering it.
Size: 2TB
I was once in the pool of (a micro sd card is good enough for the deck). Its not. There is a night and day difference in the loading times and the graphics of the games. This SSD is an absolute MUST if youre a steam deck owner. You don't have to go with the 2tb as there are other options. But increasing your internal storage will only make your life easier. I use my sd card for emulators and backups now and have all my stuff on the SSD. This is the best decision I have made for my steam deck. The games run better and some games that didn't run at all, now run. Believe everyone that says this is necessary 🤣 I can't imagine life without it now. Intallation is really easy, just take out your sd card beforehand. It is preferred that you get it when you first buy your steamdeck, but if you already have one, its possible to clone the drives so you dont lose your stuff. It's like a playstation hard drive upgrade but more advanced. ... show more

Perfect for ROG ally
Size: 2TB
After undergoing 13 gigs of updates through windows, I realized 512 gig and even 1T won’t cut it. After fully setting the drive up via the ASUS cloud recovery that popped up when I put the drive in and turned the system on, I had 1,875 gig left give or take, validating the price immediately. FPS and loading seem unchanged but stutter and pop in are basically gone (in RDR2 especially) unless the gpu or the system itself throttles or something else outside of the SSD control. Easy to install, cloud boot took over no special need for a thumb drive or SD card. Happy with the 2T from a trusted brand. The faster RW speed reduced stuttering considerably! ... show more

Compact, easy to install and affordable
Size: 2TB
Used to replace the OEM NVMe on my ROG Ally Extreme. Came nicely packaged in a little rose gold tin and was very easy to install. Was the most affordable option at my time of purchase, and works like a charm! Nice affordable upgrade option especially with its compact size!

Steam Deck 2TB upgrade
Size: 2TB
When the 2TB version arrived I registered it on Sabrent and did get the included copy of Acronis to clone the drive in my Steam Deck to find out it only works when a Sabrent drive is detected by the software. I don't have an enclosure in order to connect it externally, so I used Clonezilla without issues to clone the drive to this larger one. Using a dock that has 3 USB-A ports to connect the flash drive that has Clonezilla on it and a usb external hd. The Steam Deck boot manager discovered them and Clonezilla booted without issue to create a clone image of the stock 500GB m.2 drive and then to restore it onto this 2TB drive. Had no issues swapping out the drive, it fit just like the original including the moving the ESD shield to the new drive. My Steam Deck booted right up as if it never had the srive swapped out and extra storage was already available without needing to do anything else. I'd recommend anyone to do this upgrade. ... show more
