This is probably the best 2230 SSD for the Deck. It's faster than the Micro 2400 which has been on FP a few times.

I'm still amazed how so much fast storage can be squeezed down so much

Good to see that 2230 SSDs are more easily available now and are also coming down in price. Looks like this will be the preferred form factor for handheld gaming consoles/computers going forward.

I guess the Corsair one being released at $109 caused Sabrent to lower their prices

I still prefer the Samsung PM991a because of the lower power draw of 1.8A. Most 1TB 2230 are at 2.5A.

A lot of people keep getting confused by this. This 2.5A is max current draw and doesn't indicate battery life expectancy over regular use. Most of the time in a steam deck or Asus Ally the drive will be idle state once the data is loaded to memory and you're playing your game. You should be looking at idle power draw.

Battery life is definitely affected - max draw can occur at any time depending on how it is used. Idle power draw will rarely ever happen because you're using the device and not everything is in RAM. There's going to be at least some read/write action. All else being equal, the one that has lower (max) power draw will last longer.

I would hold off and or get one from AliExpress. This will drop to at least $90. AliExpress has 2TB for $140. I ordered mines 2 weeks ago and it should be here by the end of the month.

Any good plans for a stream deck? I feel like I wasted $$$ on my sons gaming pc, no need for super high performance.

Power draw from the SSD can vary depending on your use case. Just because a drive lists a potentially higher max power draw doesn't mean it will draw this amount of power for a long period of time, it depends on the power state it's in for the activity you're engaged in, and how much data the drive can read/write using that power. For clear results you'd need to monitor nvme power draw for gaming/non gaming sessions for different drives but nobody's done that. This Sabrent drive can actually be more efficient than most drives and not affect real world battery life on the steam deck based on these 2 links:
