Overview

Crucial builds this single-sided module with G8 NAND for gamers and home users upgrading a PC or a handheld console. Its Gen4 NVMe interface reads files far faster than SATA drives, and the thin stick drops into a slot in seconds.

Compatibility with handhelds like the Steam Deck makes it useful for expanding console storage, and a five year warranty backs it. Sequential speeds are best case figures, and the bare module may throttle under long writes without a heatsink.

Who it's for

A Steam Deck, ROG Ally or desktop gamer replacing a small or slow drive. Crucial Storage Executive helps manage it. Heavy video editors who write huge files continuously should consider a drive with sustained write performance and cooling.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast Gen4 NVMe read and write speeds
  • Thin single-sided module
  • Named handheld console compatibility
  • Software offers included
Cons
  • No heatsink listed
  • Sequential speeds are best case figures
  • Not for SATA-only systems
  • Sustained write speed not listed

Performance notes

Peak sequential speeds apply to large transfers on a Gen4 x4 slot, while everyday boot and load times depend on random reads. A bare module heats up under long writes, which can lower speed unless the host has airflow or a heatsink. Handheld consoles run slower than the rated figures because their slots have limited bandwidth.
