If say I bought the cheapest variant, could the same type of SSD upgrades fit in it, just as they would the mid and higher tier steamdecks?

Some YouTube benchmarks say there there is no too little difference in game loading time. What sd card did you have before?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No typo. I had my games on a 1TB microSD card and now they are on a 2TB SSD.
