  In other words, simply changing SSD doesn't void warranty, but damaging the Steam Deck in the process of doing so does.

  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?
