If you have a gaming handheld like the Steam Deck of ROG Ally, you should strongly consider expanding your storage. These handhelds are limited in how much you can take with you, so snagging a quality SSD can make a huge difference when gaming on the go. Today, we have a wonderful discount to share on Western Digital's WD_Black 1TB SN770M SSD. It usually goes for around $129, but today, it's listed at $84—its lowest price to date. 

We reviewed the WD_Black SN770M SSD in late 2023, and it was considered the portable gaming system SSD champion. It has notable performance, scoring 4 out of 5 stars in our overall review. Although it stands out operationally, the SSD can run a bit hot. We weren't too enthusiastic about its debut price of $129, but today's discount makes it one of the best SSDs for handheld gaming consoles.

    Wow, those things got small! My OS drive is a WD Black SN770 512GB and it's twice as long as that 1TB. That's pretty impressive.

    They really need to put a quarter or something next to these drives for scale - when I first clicked on the article, I thought this was meant to fit in a PCIe x4 slot, and was surprised that sort of thing was still being made.

    I'm not so sure about that. I mean, I have no doubt that they perform but....there are problems. These days, it seems like ASUS ROG stands for "ASUS Ripping Off Gamers".

    There's a pretty famous video from Gamers Nexus in which Steve Burke outlines how ASUS' so-called "customer service" department has become the "customer scam" department and the ROG Ally was at the centre of the Gamers Nexus story:
