SSD Upgrade for Asus ROG Ally £50

[willhub]

Looking to upgrade to a 1Tb for around £50, I'm aware storage prices have dropped but not sure if this is stretching it?

The SSD form factor is M.2-2230 SSD


Cheers.

£50 isn't just stretching it, it's completely snapped as ~£100 is the current price for 1TB 2230.

Even used you are looking at around £70 for a nearly new pull from an OEM machine (e.g. dell, hp)

Is this ok for £69?"

You can buy a 1TB Sabrent for around £55 just now. I can't provide a link to the site as it's a competitor, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Sabrent are a fairly well established brand that have proven themselves over the years. In fact I have had a Sabrent drive in my laptop for a couple of years now with no issues.

Oops, just seen you want the drive in a 2230 format, which seems more expensive due to the size.

A certain 'trade in' shop sell a Micron MTFDHBK1T0TDP 1TB 2230 PCIe NVMe M.2 for £52, so even less if you buy / trade in for some vouchers.

note I haven't looked at the spec of the drive (And i'd recommend doing this before buying!) but they've got tonnes in stock, which is probably why it's cheap as that's what they usually do when they overstock a product. But imagine it's PCIe 3.0 and think the rog is PCIe 4.0 but real world performance difference be minimal.
