Steam Deck Gets Decent Price Cut During Steam Summer Sale
The Steam Deck handheld console has been once again discounted as a part of the Steam Summer Sale. The base 64 GB model is now priced at $359.10, a 10 percent discount from the usual $399 price. The 256 GB one is down by 15 percent to $449.65, and the top 512 GB model is discounted by 20 percent, down from $649 to $519.20.
This is a bigger discount compared to the one we have seen in March, especially for the 512 GB model. The promotion will run until the end of the Steam Summer Sale on July 13th. Steam has also published a list of the top 100 most-played games on Steam Deck this year, and some of them are also a part of the Summer Sale. These include Hogwarts Legacy, Vampire Survivors, Elden Ring, Resident Evil 4, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and many more.

Your choices for 2230 single-sided drives is extremely limited. If you don't like WD, you either need to go Samsung, Hynix or Sabrent.You do you.
I've had fake flash drives from Amazon.co.uk and Scan.co.uk. NAND fakes are rife throughout the SSD, SDcard, and USB flash drive market.
On AliExpress, the seller doesn't get paid until you've tested the drive, confirmed it was as advertised, and marked it as "accepted". How you get scammed by that system is a mystery to me.
If it's a fake it's unlikely to be generating decent write performance but a sequential write test should use more than half the drive in about half an hour. Crystal Diskmark can sequential write a 64GB test file. All you have to do is dump a photo on the drive at the beginning, test 64GB, copy and paste the 64GB file over and over again and then see if the photo still opens.
