Honestly I’m still rocking my Q3 OG 500gb steam deck. To put how much I love this thing in perspective: I had got a slot for the Limited Edition Steam deck, but because my original works so darn well, I could not pull the trigger and didn’t see any good reason to upgrade.
Personally, if I were to do it again, I’d go buy a 64gb refurbished cheap af steam deck, but a 500gb nvme or w.e, and then use the extra money to just buy a bunch of 512gb sd cards.
Yep! Just make sure you get it in the correct formfactor, a 2230 NVME. And id also do a bit of research just because all of it is expensive equipment. Theoretically its just as easy as with a pc, just a bit smaller.
Thanks for the info, just a small question though, does it come with an empty NVME slot or is the storage listed on steam page already in that NVME slot?
Single NVME and single SD slot. However, upgrading the NVME is a breeze. The entire device is designed to be user serviceable and Valve provides steps for reinstalling the OS on their site.

Oh I didn’t know Steam Deck can take NVMEs or SDs, I may actually consider buying one then
