The M.2 2230 form factor is the short, single-sided SSD that fits gaming handhelds: the Steam Deck, ROG Ally and ROG Xbox Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw. A standard 2280 desktop drive will not fit, so the 2230 size is non-negotiable. This table lists only single-sided M.2 2230 NVMe drives, ranked by live price per terabyte on Amazon.ca, so you can upgrade a handheld without the guesswork of checking every listing for the right length.

Frequently asked questions
What is an M.2 2230 SSD?
A short 30 mm M.2 NVMe SSD, single-sided, used in gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. The numbers mean 22 mm wide by 30 mm long.
Will a 2280 SSD fit in a handheld?
No. Handhelds need the shorter 2230 size. A 2280 drive is 80 mm long and will not fit the slot.
Are all 2230 SSDs single-sided?
Most are, which matters because handhelds have limited clearance. We list single-sided 2230 drives; avoid double-sided ones for tight handheld slots.
