I'm just trying so hard to not spend more on myself until after the Christmas. I will NEVER EVER put another micro SD card in it. What a fail this is for ASUS, it's bad enough that it bricks them. like never to be used again, can't reformat them can't use them in something else, BRICKS THEM! This is a great system other wise but this is lawsuit stuff! ! Will be nice to get a good amount of storage on this thing, 512gigs isn't close to enough. My SD has the 512g internal and 1TB micro and that's pretty good comparatively. I'd love a 4TB drive but $280-300 is a bit steep at least right now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same as the steam deck - maybe there is some mod but those are always a bad idea. This is the best thing to get imo and what I have in my ally and hopefully will have in my deck today: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-black-sn770m-2tb-internal-ssd-pcie-gen-4-x4-m-2-2230-for-rog-ally-and-steam-deck/6551144.p?skuId=6551144 Besides being the right spec and size and all I believe it’s the fastest you can get in it. @HardAct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 If you think the Deck OLED battery is bad, the ROG Ally and Lenovo Go lose half their juice just booting into Windows! But yeah, on less demanding stuff I easily get 10+ hours. Which is wild. That's like GBA SP battery life, and I haven't seen battery life like the GBA SP since the GBA SP! I mean technically my phone can do its thing for a couple days without charging, but definitely not while actively gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really new to this but boy oh boy is it a visual treat to play. Like I said the battery life is a none issue I was just curious. Yea really it's a better so called "Indie games" I think. I played a few AAA games on it but just wasn't satisfied by the performance. I play both the SD and Ally unplugged but have a 65 watt cord running along the arm of my couch for times where I'm playing extended periods of time. I'm not liking not having the Oled version as I already passed on the Switch Oled and that was hard enough lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching many Youtube videos doing this. USING THIS ADAPTER it's $15 bucks and I haven't seen anyone have an issue. It's great as you can slap one of THESE HERE copper heatsinks too. I added the SSD you linked to the cart but most 2-4Tb upgrades I've been watching are all using an adapter like I linked. I haven't even like searched full sized SSD upgrade for the Ally, It's just what people seem to be doing. I've watched at least 5 now all using them and the adapter!! Just searching HD Upgrade for ALLY. Yours is the easiest but the 980/990 pros from Samsung are faster {going to check now} pretty sure and cheaper at least for the 2Tb and that's what I'll be getting as jumping to a 4Tb is spendy. Especially right now around the holidays as ANOTHER "ME" gift. I just bought $500+ worth of Cordless tools getting ever closer to what I had pre CAMP FIRE!

stepee Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I’ve been aware of those hacks for ally and deck and I’m sure there are lots of youtube videos showing it because it makes a good video but I’d be curious if they do follow ups how it’s running a year later. I’m just personally not a big fan of just jamming shit in there - especially on a unit that can’t even restrain from melting micro sd cards. Im sure it will work at least at first but I’d have concerns over damaging the unit long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get your card I want that back into my library. When you put the card in it will ask you to format it then when you click on install games moving forward it will give you the option to install there. You’ll just go to your library and select the game and then select the green install button. Edit: I wanted to get the card out quickly specifically because even though I shipped Wednesday, I didn’t expect it to arrive until Wed-Fri so I’m not worried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
