Review: Perfect Upgrade for the Surface Pro 8 - Upgrading to a Gen4 PCIE offers double the data rates of the Gen3 drive that came in my Surface Pro 8. No power issues either. No dropouts, reboots, or BSOD issues that seem too common in so many "upgrades". I used an external but M.2 holder through a USB-C port, and cloned the installed drive to the Corsair in the holder. I used the clone function that's part of my backup software suite (Aomei Backupper Pro) but there's nothing that almost any decent drive cloning software should do the job. Several instructions suggest that a 'new' installation and reinstall applications is the way to go. I thought I'd try cloning, as I can do another backup and a 'new' installation anytime if needed. This Corsair drive is an easy and exact fit in the M.2 2230 drive bay in the Surface PRO 8. Like many, I bought a 256GB Surface, and planned to do the storage upgrade myself after purchase. The choices in M.2 2230 drive was slim though, an many users reported power related issues that include marginal operation especially under battery power. Recovery from sleep mode is mentioned a lot in online user reports, with reboots and 'blue screen of death' reports too common with several otherwise-popular choices. When I saw the lower power consumption for the Corsair drive, and several positive results from other users, it popped to the top of my candidate list. When I saw it with a 30% discount I decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't be more satisfied. I will relate one very minor 'hitch' in the install process, and that was my foolish assumption that I already had the tiny Torx driver needed to get the hold-down screw loose. Turns out I didn't, so I had to wait for a Torx driver set via Prime to make the actual swap. I've swapped several cellphone screens and batteries and those often come with toolkits, but none in the correct size. Now I have a very nice full set. Search "38Pcs Precision Screwdriver Set, Tool Kit with Security Torx T5 T6 T8 T9, Triwing Y00, Star P5, etc, Repair for Ring Doorbell, Laptop, Switch, PS4, Xbox, Macbook, iPhone, Watch, Glasses, etc" here on desertcart and you'll find the tools I used, and it's a very nice and complete set for less than $10 as I type. So -- East upgrade with 4x the capacity and 2x the performance, uses less battery, no compatibility issues at all, low cost, plus a painless cloning, couldn't be much easier. Plus an easy excuse to add to my tool collection. ;) Highly Recommended!
Review: Amazing Drive in a Small Package - What can I say? Absolutely bargain for the Steam Deck. I got this little drive during a sale, which was great. This drive is the BEST in the market for upgrading your Deck. This drive is insanely fast and temps are nice and cool. Highly recommend this for those that have gaming handheld PCs, very thin laptops (mainly gaming laptops such as Razer, Asus, etc..) The drive has been working very well and have not had any issues, so I know it is very solid.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly on my Lenovo Legion GO
*by C***~ on May 26, 2025*

I bought it to upgrade the storage on my Lenovo Legion Go, and so far it's worked perfectly. However, you do need a 2230 to 2242 adapter, since the device is smaller than the one the Legion Go requires. The storage capacity is as expected. The speeds are good. I haven't had any issues with temperatures, reboots, compatibility, or system crashes. So far, everything is fine. Highly recommended.
