I believe valve suggests not changing the ssd, voids the warranty and all that as well. For me I just got a proper sd card with good stats (A2, class 10, etc.)
That said, I feel like they should be swappable if you were to get your hands on one of the bigger ssds
I did this for a while until recently I put in a 2TB SSD and the performance difference is night and day.
Some YouTube benchmarks say there there is no too little difference in game loading time. What sd card did you have before?
SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I. I play a lot of Diablo IV and Forza Horizon 5 and the loading screens are much faster.
My observation is that the SD card tops out around 30mb/s.
That's a 1TB.
Was the 2TB in your earlier comment a typo?
No typo. I had my games on a 1TB microSD card and now they are on a 2TB SSD.
Thanks for the heads up 🙏
Thanks for the tip!
