The WD Black SN770M 2TB is back near its original launch price at Best Buy, selling for $259.99. That works out to about $0.13 per GB, a notable deal during a period when SSD prices have surged. The drive originally launched with an MSRP of $219.99 and typically sold for around $239.99 before the recent storage shortage pushed prices to between $349.99 and $399.99.
This M.2 2230 SSD is a direct fit for popular gaming handhelds, including the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go, and Claw. It offers sequential read and write speeds up to 5,150 MB/s and 4,850 MB/s over PCIe 4.0. For the Steam Deck, which only supports PCIe 3.0, those speeds are more than the system can use, but the drive still works as a high-capacity upgrade.
The source notes that Best Buy's comparison price of $531.99 is heavily exaggerated, so the real savings are closer to 8% above the drive's pre-shortage retail price. A 4TB M.2 2230 SSD from Micron exists but is limited to OEM models, leaving 2TB as the largest consumer option for now. For anyone needing more storage in a handheld, this is one of the better deals currently available.
