The WD Black 1TB is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in the tiny M.2 2230 size, the short card used in Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Surface and other compact laptops. It is one of the few high-capacity drives built for that slot, where most rivals top out at 512GB or use slower QLC memory. Sequential reads reach around 5,000 MB/s, so it loads games and large files far faster than the stock drives it replaces. Owners like it as a drop-in upgrade for handhelds; the main trade-off is that its short card runs hot and needs a thin heatsink or good airflow in tight cases.
