Good microsd cards are cheap as dirt and easy to use with a Steam Deck. I do not regret getting the lowest storage model and just using a card.



Thanks, just bought a base model + dock. I've got a bunch of 128GB SDs, and my only current plans are to use it for PC-98 emulation, so load times shouldn't be a problem.


Just so you're forewarned - some things always get installed on internal storage and people regularly have problems with it filling up.

IMO getting at least 256GB internal (or upgrading later) is a smarter decision.


You can work around this somewhat by moving things to external storage and they symlinking it back to the original spot (or so I've heard, I have the top end model and haven't filled it up yet).


only issue with microsd is very slow writing speed. For games that are in the dozens of gigabytes you will wait a LOOOOONG time for the process to finish,
