Which NVMe SSD Is Right for You?
Choose Gen3 for everyday upgrades, Gen4 for gaming and content creation, or Gen5 for demanding workloads on compatible PCs. Select a heatsink model where space allows, or use your device’s cooling solution. Match the SSD size to your device: S91 (M.2 2230) for the original ROG Ally; S93 (M.2 2280) matches the ROG Ally X form factor. Check device requirements before installation.
* Performance figures are based on addlink internal testing using specific hardware and configurations. Actual speed may vary by host system, workload, SSD capacity, operating system, and firmware.
* PCIe Gen5 SSDs such as G55H require a compatible platform with PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot to reach full performance.
* PS5 compatibility refers to meeting Sony’s published M.2 SSD requirements; always check the latest PS5 firmware and guidelines.
* ROG Ally (original model) uses M.2 2230 NVMe SSDs, matching the addlink S91 form factor. ROG Ally X uses M.2 2280 NVMe SSDs, matching the addlink S93 form factor; no size adapter is required for this pairing. Installing the shorter S91 in a ROG Ally X would require a suitable 2230-to-2280 mounting adapter, with fit and compatibility verified separately. Always check your exact device model and follow ASUS installation guidelines.
