My favorite Zelda. I need to revisit this one.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater! After what feels like 20 years, I realized how bad I am and how I barely remember where anything is. I will say I happily landed a 900 today.
I gotta practice, but I’m having a great time with it. Just wish it didn’t have always online for single player.

True. I didn’t think about it, but I guess that should have been obvious since 2230 isn’t a common standard.
Meanwhile, i’ve had lots of WD drives without any issues. And some of my SSDs are TLC and QLC (before I knew about QLC longevity). I can’t imagine I’ll go wrong with these upcoming SN770 drives.

I decided to bite the bullet and preordered two 2 TB SSDs, which release officially next Friday on Sep 22nd. I haven’t used a Steam Deck, but the two I ordered just arrived today for my spouse and I (yay!). They’re a gift for us next month so I’ll have impressions by then.
While doing research, I only found that there was an SN740 model from WD that was only sold in some regions. Reddit link here: …kavin.rocks/…/2230_sn740_nvme_ssd_for_steam_deck…
People were happy with it so I figure the higher spec model is probably fine to use.
So far though, I only know it’s TLC NAND and basically similar to the published Corsair MP600 specs. I’d love to get my hands on MLC or SLC, but I don’t think it exists for that capacity (nor would it be affordable). My guess is by the time an affordable MLC or SLC arrives in 2280 config, Steam Deck 2 will be out and probably use a more common SSD form factor.
