# TEAMGROUP MP44S: Two Terabytes in a Very Small 2230 Drive > Opening the SSD before a planned Steam Deck installation and data-copying session.

It costs you nothing extra, and it has not changed what this article says — where a competitor is the better answer, we say so. For a moment, I think something is missing. Then I realize that the tiny piece in the packaging really is the drive. I have handled longer M.2 SSDs before, but this 2230 module still catches me off guard. This is the TEAMGROUP MP44S package labeled 2 TB, which I am planning to use for a Steam Deck project. ## The dimensions are the first impression I open the packaging and turn the module over so you can see just how small it is. The capacity is a label I am reading, rather than a full-capacity write test carried out in this recording. I also read the advertised transfer speeds. There is no benchmark here, so those figures should stay separate from any result on the Deck or another device. ## The installation needs another video I say I want to show the Steam Deck installation and use another tool to copy the existing data across. Neither the installation nor the copying happens in this first-look session. I am also not establishing that this is the largest drive available or that every small gaming device accepts it. The exact device and its requirements still matter. ## Internal and external are different projects In a later recording, I look at the [Digiera portable SSD](), which connects externally over USB-C. That is another storage arrangement, not a performance comparison with the MP44S. The original TEAMGROUP product link is below.
