The WD Black SN770M 2TB SSD has dropped to $259.99, which is only 8% above its original launch price of $219.99. This pricing makes it a strong option for gamers facing storage shortages on devices like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. While Micron recently announced a 4TB version, that model is limited to OEM computers, so consumers can currently only purchase the 2TB capacity.<\/p>\n

This drive features PCIe 4.0 technology with sequential read speeds up to 5,150 MB\/s and write speeds up to 4,850 MB\/s. Although these high speeds are excellent for modern handhelds, they represent overkill for the Steam Deck, which uses a slower PCIe 3.0 interface. Despite newer SSD models like the Optimus GX 7100M being available, this drive remains a balanced choice that offers good performance without excessive cost.<\/p>\n

Prices for this SSD surged to between $349.99 and $399.99 during the recent storage shortage, making Best Buy’s comparison value of $531.99 seem exaggerated. At $0.13 per GB, the WD Black SN770M is considered one of the best deals available for high-performance M.2 2230 SSDs. Zhiye Liu, a news editor and SSD tester at Tom’s Hardware, notes that it strikes a good balance between price and performance for users needing storage upgrades now.<\/p>\n
