The Lexar Play is a fantastic little drive for anyone looking to augment their Steam Deck, ROG Ally, or Legion Go. I've been thoroughly impressed with the performance this drives offers in such a small form factor, which is suited to the cramped NVMe slot in the best handheld gaming PCs.
Available only in a 1TB capacity, the Lexar Play is best suited to life in a handheld machine and not for housing an enormous library on desktop. You'd be better off with the Lexar NM790 4TB for that sorta job, another drive I really rate from the same manufacturer. The smaller stature of the Play means it's not quite as quick as some larger size 1TB drivers around a similar price point of $85. Though the Lexar Play 2230 delivers impressive speeds versus other stubby storage drives.
