I threw away all my USB flash drives and replaced them with this tiny DIY SSD
Aug 23, 2026 | Guides
After upgrading my Steam Deck’s SSD, I threw the handheld’s original 256GB drive into the bottom of one of the tin boxes I keep all kinds of knickknacks in and quickly forgot about it. The SSD had gathered dust there for years until I remembered I had it and decided to do something useful with it. So I went to Temu, ordered a 2230 external SSD enclosure, and a few weeks later, I ended up with a teeny-tiny DIY external SSD that blows all of my USB flash drives out of the water.
