Ah, yeah, if I have to crack it open with some sort of tool like an otter with an oyster then I’ll probably never upgrade. I’ve done that with my laptop a few times but it never feels okay and with my steam deck, any bending of the plastic could result in noticeable differences in the wrapping of the plastic when I hold it. The MicroSD seems to be fast enough for me anyway.

A lot of retailers claim people are returning with se cards that stop working after about a year in the Steam Deck. Not sure about the validity but good information to take in notheless.

  I’ve not read that, do you have an article or such so I can learn more about what’s happening to the microSDs?

    It was just a post by someone claiming to work in retail and they had a lot of people coming in with sd cards about 1 year after Steam Deck release saying they had used it in a Deck. Nothing more to share I’m afraid. Hard to know how true it is but good to know so you can make backups.

    Ah, eh, I don’t use the micro sd for anything except games. The whole steam deck for me is a handheld device to play steam games and not a desktop or such.
