The Steam Deck and ROG Ally handheld gaming PCs are powerful devices, but their storage capacity could be better. Fortunately, there are several Prime Day deals on microSD cards and solid-state drives right now, allowing you to easily upgrade your handheld PCs just in time for some of the big, space-hogging games coming out soon.
For pure plug-and-play convenience, you can't go wrong with a microSD card. The Lexar 256GB microSD card is a solid choice, and it's on sale for $45, down from its usual $61 price. It's built to be durable, supports up to 4K 60fps video recording in case you want to use it in your camera, and it has a max read speed of 205MB/s to help cut down on long waits.
If you're looking to future-proof your device, you can also grab this Sandisk microSD, which has a whopping 1.5TB of storage capacity. Normally $150, it's on sale for $88 and is a great option for anyone looking to create a giant library of indie games on their Steam Deck. There are a few other microSD cards on sale with various storage capacities as well, in case you're looking to hit that Goldilocks zone.
Alternatively, SSDs are worth looking at as well. Corsair has two SSDs available, with these models being designed for ultra-thin devices specifically. A 1TB Corsair MP600 SSD is normally priced at $115, but for Prime Day, it has received a rare discount of 34% and is available for $76. This model delivers up to 5,000MB/sec sequential read and 3,800MB/sec sequential write speeds, making it great for demanding games.
If you feel like doubling up on your storage--especially with new Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty games out soon--there's also the 2TB Corsair MP600 SSD. You get the same Gen 4 storage performance on this compact SSD, but a ton more space to install games and high-speed performance to cut down on loading times.
There are tons of Prime Day deals available, including ones on game controllers and a premium gaming headset.
