- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 1 week ago:
Yeah, that sounds like what was happening with my SD card. I followed a guide to path it correctly, but even that didn’t work for a little while (which led me to upgrading the SSD). I think an update fixed the SD library snafu, though, because I haven’t had that issue for the last six months, at least.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 1 week ago:
I have an SD card and upgraded the small SSD in mine and it has been a game changer. I don’t use my deck docked very often, so for portability, it’s really necessary for me to upgrade internal storage options.
I’ve never dedicated external storage for the deck and have only used external SSDs to transfer files. I remember earlier on, there was a file path issue where it would duplicate libraries on my SD card so the games would still be there, but unread/wouldn’t show up and I’d have to manually change the path back again in desktop mode. I’m pretty sure that’s a thing of the past, though. Is that what’s happening with your external drives?
- Comment on Dock's for Oled 1 TB version? 1 year ago:
Gotcha. Yeah, I remember seeing some blurb about a change and wasn’t sure exactly what changed. Thanks!

Doesn’t the OLED need a higher watt power supply? Like 65W or something? I don’t remember the specs, but that would be something to be aware of, too.
- Comment on Dock's for Oled 1 TB version? 1 year ago:
Totally. Yeah, I’d recommend dongles like you and I both posted, then. I will say that yours looks pretty solid in that it can rest flat when the deck is propped up. Both of mine kinda hang off the top of the deck and bend, but it’s really a more cosmetic thing that I’m fine with.
Like another comment or said, it’s definitely more important to check out the video specs and all that, but you can get a solid one for $20-$40 now, easily.

This is a really cool one you’ve posted. And at a good price point. I’ve shelled out much more for a really nice one for my laptop a few years ago. It’s an anker 11 in 1 and cost somewhere around $80-$100 (USD) if I remember correctly. It has way more than I need but I liked the idea of being able to connect to Ethernet and either display port or HDMI with my laptop. I use this one for my steam deck, too.
About a little while ago, I got an anker 6 in 1 for travel, and this is a lot cheaper, I think it was knocked down to $30 or so when I got it.
I like these ones because they are pretty durable and I have a preference for braided cables, but there are likely a lot of other great options around by now.
