I found this one, for example but I don't know the brand. The only 2240 SSD of a company I know on Amazon Italy is Kingston, but has the wrong screw placements.

Just put one in my Deck. Works great, and actually seems faster than the stock SSD, though I haven't benchmarked either.

Only issue I had was that my USB to NVMe M.2 enclosure couldn't read it for some reason. Had to swap it into my Deck, put the Deck's SSD in the enclosure, and then boot a Linux USB to DD clone to the new SSD.

No idea why my enclosure had issues, as it's definitely not an M.2 SATA enclosure or something. I have a different enclosure for SATA drives.

Larger SSD's tend to be faster than their smaller counterparts. Has to do with a more efficient data controller or something.

I hope that bullshit doesn't come to Lemmy. It doesn't matter if you have a SD or a Ally, play on PC or console, etc. All have cons and pros and you should be able to discuss about, whatever your situation is. I hated that so much on Reddit.
