In the steam decks case yeah.
Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
InFerNo@lemmy.ml 4 days agoYou think a microSD is only marginally slower than an nvme SSD?

Yep. At some point maybe Valve will change that, but for now, it’s a great way to get a steam deck. And even if they do change/fix that later, you’re not really missing out on anything- everything will be the same speed it always was for you.

Load times have always been bottlenecked by the CPU, so it’s not a massive surprise that the SSD is about on par with a decent SD card.
On the PS4 an SSD was faster than a HDD, but not by a massive amount. At least it was quieter though.
