I found this one, for example but I don't know the brand. The only 2240 SSD of a company I know on Amazon Italy is Kingston, but has the wrong screw placements.

ROG Ally owner here - I come in peace. I know many ROG Ally users in r/rogally were reporting they purchased a Sabrent SSD to throw in their Allies (is that the plural?) and I hadn't seen any reports of issues there, for what it's worth.
Anyone that bothers you based on your hardware is an actual ๐คก
Anyone who uses a handheld PC is welcome here.
I hope that bullshit doesn't come to Lemmy. It doesn't matter if you have a SD or a Ally, play on PC or console, etc. All have cons and pros and you should be able to discuss about, whatever your situation is. I hated that so much on Reddit.
Peace you shall have!
I was at Bestbuy a few days ago and got to hold one. Really nice feeling device.
Handheld PC Master Race! I welcome are ROG Allies here (pun intended).
points and screeches
Seriously though, how do you like your Ally so far?
Genuine curiosity - how do you cope without the trackpads on the Deck? They're so useful in game for mouse based games (e.g. No Man's Sky and Guild Wars 2), and useful out of game for fiddly pointing e.g. when in desktop mode.
The Ally looks cool, but the absence of at least one makes it look like a non-starter (not that I'm trying toove on from my Deck anyway).
Well, I've never owned a Steamdeck, so I guess ignorance is bliss in this case; I don't know what I'm missing. I really try to find games that work best with a controller to play on my Ally. There are plenty of games that require a keyboard and mouse, and I'll either use my desktop or dock my Ally, but again, I got it for the controller games.
I never used the trackpad in NMS on the steam deck. Never even thought about it. I've generally found the SD trackpad too fiddly for mouse games and I usually get tired of playing them pretty quickly.
The trackpad are much more useful in desktop mode on the Steam Deck, and that's where I really feel them missing on the Ally. It's actually really tough, because the Ally is an amazing PC. Just as a straight up windows PC, it is incredibly fast, quiet, and has 4k120 output. It is better than any laptop I've ever owned. It runs Cinebench multicore at nearly 6x the speed as my Surface Book 2. Single core performance is comparable to my desktop with a 5900X. If it had a damn trackpad I would make it my only computer. As it is I'll probably return it because the steam deck is more pleasant to use as a handheld gaming machine.
