If you’ve pre-ordered Asus’s latest handheld, you’ll be happy to know that Sandisk’s Asus ROG Xbox Ally storage solutions add up to 4TB of space to the upcoming handhelds, making them far more flexible for serious gamers. With the Xbox Ally base model capped at 512GB and the Xbox Ally X at 1TB, many players may find themselves running out of room fast.
That’s where Sandisk steps in. The brand has announced a new lineup of storage options designed specifically for the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds, expected to launch “in the coming months.” These include both high-capacity microSD cards and an NVMe SSD, giving players a big upgrade path without compromise.
Sandisk MicroSD Cards For ROG Xbox Ally
The first option is the Sandisk microSD Card for ROG Ally (X). It will be available in three sizes:
-
512GB – $69.99 / £49.99
-
1TB – $149.99 / £104.99
-
2TB – $299.99 / £209.99
This is a huge deal for gamers who want an affordable and portable way to expand storage without cracking open the device. Perfect for downloading and carrying multiple AAA titles on the go.
WD Black NVMe SSD For Maximum Storage
The bigger upgrade comes in the form of the WD Black SN7100X NVMe SSD, also designed for the ROG Xbox Ally (X) and PC. Offering up to a massive 4TB capacity, this is the storage option for those who want their entire Steam or Xbox Game Pass library ready at their fingertips.
While pricing hasn’t been fully revealed for the SSD yet, expect it to target performance-focused users who want the fastest speeds and the most storage possible.
Why This Matters For Handheld Gaming
Handheld gaming PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally are pushing boundaries, but storage has been a major pain point. Big titles such as Call of Duty, Cyberpunk 2077, or Starfield can easily eat over 100GB each. That means the base models fill up almost instantly.
By offering both microSD and NVMe options, Sandisk’s Asus ROG Xbox Ally storage solutions add up to 4TB, ensuring gamers no longer have to constantly delete and re-download games. This move future-proofs the Ally and makes it more appealing to players who demand console-like storage flexibility.
With the launch of these upgrades, Sandisk has positioned itself as the go-to storage brand for the ROG Xbox Ally lineup. Between the affordable microSD cards and the powerhouse NVMe SSD, gamers will finally have the breathing room they’ve been asking for.
If you’ve already locked in your pre-order for the Ally or Ally X, keeping an eye on these storage releases could make all the difference in how you enjoy your new handheld.
