I just got a 256GB steam deck. It’s do able. But you’ll want a PC nearby with your games installed. Then it’ll just download it from your PC for lightning fast installs.

I own an OG Legion Go and owned a Steam Deck prior to that. The Deck’s SD card reader is definitely better.

The Deck’s reader does the full 80MB/s UHS-I well enough. It works well electrically, but the ejector sucks. I’ve picked up my system, and had the card randomly hang out like 😛. It is vital to tape over the card to keep it from wandering off on its own.

I upgraded mine to 2TB and still have to uninstall games to add others every 2 months or so 😁

Fortunately the NVMe is not that hard to upgrade. Like if you can replace a battery in an iPhone you can change the SSD in the Steam Deck.

I have the 64gb LCD and run most games of sd card. With a quality card, it works really well.
