## Description

Review: NOT compatible with Steam Deck - Please do not make the same mistake as me and believe other reviews that this card firs in a steam deck - it does not! The dimensions make it too long. 1. The SSD will not lie flat as it is too big 2. You cannot screw it in place as required 3. It foil sleeve does not fit 4. The large heatshield will not lie flat, you cannot get the last screw in 5. Thermal pads on the heatshield are rendered ineffective 6. The deck case will not close perfectly, there will be some movement. Can't stress this enough - good SSD, good price, BUT NOT FOR STEAM DECK!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I talked to sabrent and because they do not produce an adaptor - they cannot warranty this for my laptop.  i have a1708 mid 2017 2 thunderbolt 3 ports**
A: Yes, they cannot provide warranty for seamless/flawless functioning, but it does work without any issues (a1708). The only issue is that it consumes more battery, even in sleep as it is not an apple ssd.

**Q: I want to upgrade my very recently bought samsung galaxy book pro (not 360) from 512 gb to 1tb. will this fit ?**
A: You can install full sized nvme m2 ssd (like s@msung 980) in your samsung galaxy book pro. If you want to install this sabrent one (Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2242) which is shorter you will probably need some mounting accessory. Also you will need enclosure for m2 ssd if you want transfer all your data to new ssd.

**Q: Hi, for anyone who used this for a macbook pro 2017 (A1708). Does it cause a bulge on the bottom casing after installation or is it unnoticeable?**
A: Hi I installed the 1TB on into an A1708, you need a converter, but it just fits. If the 2TB thicker, it might not fit.

**Q: How do you check to see if the motherboard can accept 3.5mm thick drives?**
A: 2242 is the dimensions  22mm by 42 mm. These ssd drives are very thin, much thinner than SATA equivalents. For PCIe slots you need an adaptor, the motherboard needs a specific M.2 slot. You will see 2242 devices and 2280 or similar for different lengths of SSD (42mm or 80mm), there should be a screw in the motherboard at the right length from the slot to hold this drive securely in place. They are normally used in NUCs etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought for MacBook Pro A1708
*by A***R on 6 February 2024*

Bought to replace the 256GB drive, bought in conjunction with a Sintech M.2 NVMe 2230/2242 SSD Upgrade Card for MacBook PRO A1708. Easy to install both after watching YouTube tutorials, no problems so far and nearly 4 times the storage, nice and speedy too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well with Steam Deck
*by L***N on 24 November 2022*

It is physically bigger than the recommended Steam Deck SSD size (2230) but fits just fine despite that. Just swap the heat shield from the included SSD onto this one, secure it down with some double sided tape (optional- the metal plate above it secures it down for the most part) and you should be good to go provided you reinstall SteamOS. The speeds are excellent for an SSD this size which makes games load much faster and the interface much snappier and the capacity is more than enough to install any games I can feasibly play at once at any given time. Good to know: *Using this in the Steam Deck may cause faster battery drain, degraded network performance and overheating (I haven't had issues with any of this personally) *935GB is available for games after the SteamOS install
