Expand your handheld gaming PC's storage with this 2230 SSD from Crucial. The P310 excels in a number of areas: it's fast, easy to install, and thanks to Black Friday, it's affordable. That ticks off all the boxes I'm looking for, and I've been using a Steam Deck since it came out. Don't jump on this deal now and you'll have to watch the price double when the holidays end.

If you've been using a handheld gaming PC for a while, I don't have to tell you they can run out of storage space pretty quickly (and if you're thinking about getting one over the holidays, let this be your warning!) AAA titles can easily breach 100GB+ nowadays, and a 256GB internal storage just isn't going to do your library justice.

Thankfully, installing a new 2230 SSD in your handheld, like this Crucial P310, is easy as can be and greatly expands your storage capabilities. The only problem is, these SSDs can get pretty expensive when you start getting up to 1TB and beyond (especially if they offer fast transfer speeds like the P310).

Here's the good news: Black Friday took care of that. The Crucial P310 2230 SSD comes in either 1TB or 2TB of storage, offers 7,100MB/s transfer speeds for rapid downloads and snappy load times, and thanks to this humongous discount (over 50%!), doesn't break the bank. That means you could pick up the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme and the P310 2230 SSD for under $700 total over Black Friday. That's a serious deal.

If this SSD caught your eye as a way to upgrade your handheld, you may want to check out the best USB-C hub deals we could find to expand your connectivity options, too. We've also spotted some excellent deals on gaming monitors, which can quickly turn your handheld into a full-on gaming PC experience.
