Get an entire terabyte of storage capacity for your Steam Deck with this big deal on Corsair's tiny SSD.

Adding a beefy amount of storage capacity to your gaming devices used to be an expensive endeavor but over the last few years, prices have come down dramatically. For Steam Deck owners, you can slot an entire terabyte of storage into your handheld gaming PC for a solid price with Corsair's MP600 Mini NVMe SSD.

Usually retailing for $110, you can pick a 1TB Steam Deck-compatible SSD for just $93.66, which represents a nice 15% discount. For owners of the 64GB Steam Deck, this will be a massive upgrade, enough to store not only plenty of indie games but also a bunch of those big AAA releases that rapidly eat away at storage space.

It's a relatively simple process, as you can simply insert the drive into the open M.2 2230 slot. Owners of the 256GB and 512GB Steam Decks can also take advantage of this expansion, although it's worth noting that this will require you to remove the storage drive that's already installed on the system. You'll also have to install SteamOS on the new drive. But for extra space ahead of Q4's upcoming list of big-name games? It's worth considering.

This SSD is also compatible with Microsoft Surface and other ultra-thin devices, so if you've been looking to enhance those machines, this is an affordable upgrade.

Keep in mind you can also upgrade your storage with microSD cards. Over at Amazon, you can grab a high-end 256GB Samsung microSD card for $22 and a 512GB for $56. If you prefer SanDisk, you can get a 256GB card for around $23 and a 512GB card for less than $42.
