Patriot’s new Viper Gaming Mini SSD offers a speedy upgrade for the Steam Deck

Patriot Memory's gaming brand, Viper Gaming, has just introduced a new M.2 2230 SSD, the VP4000 Mini M.2 2230 SSD. Perfect for handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck, this SSD is Patriot's first foray into the M.2 2230 form factor.

With sequential read and write speeds reaching up to 5,000 MB/s and 3,500 MB/s, respectively, the VP4000 Mini M.2 2230 SSD will allow you to blaze through file transfers and game startups. In addition, with up to 2TB of storage, you won't have to juggle game installs or file downloads as often.

One common issue with high-performance SSDs is overheating, but this can be solved with a heatsink. For this mini SSD, Patriot has added an ultra-thin graphene heat spreader to keep thermals in check during extended gaming sessions.

The VP4000 Mini M.2 2230 SSD is designed to work with various devices, from handheld gaming consoles like the Steam Deck to compact PCs, laptops, and tablets like the Microsoft Surface. The SSD will become available in 2024.
