Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?
I replaced my 64 gig with a 1tb sabrent rocket. The speeds alone are worth it no matter what. Going to desktop and back is like magic. I always install from scratch though, more steps for less hiccups is the way I always look at it
No, I got the 512 and it’s been enough for me just rotating as needs. I have played around with the SD card but don’t usually play anything off of it.
I upgraded my 512 to a 2tb sn740 by using an external nvme enclosure and rescuezilla to clone the original drive. Had zero issues.
I decided it wasn’t worth it.
I bought the 256 GB deck. That filled up fairly quickly obviously and I looked at the alternatives. It turns out that if you buy the right SD Cards they’re basically the same speed as the SSD, so I just bought a 1TB Samsung EVO and it’s been great. Also, I didn’t have to lose the existing 256 Gb of space that I had and it was zero effort.
Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to a 2TB internal, or maybe I won’t.
I got the 64gb because I want to upgrade the storage myself. I just need to get it.
Got ssd today and deck is coming tomorrow.
Update my deck is doing fine and happy to say replacing SSD wasn’t that bad :)
Before even using the deck I updated it, pre-downloaded the steamos onto a usb drive.
The install was very straightforward, highly recommended the upgrade. My only regret is is didn’t get the 1Tb drive
Exactly what I did. I went for the 1tb though. The storage prices for the deck are pretty outrageous and upgrading is pretty easy. So a 64gb deck + 1tb card comes out to be about the same as a 256gb deck.
Outrageous is a bit strong… There are companies charging way more than that for the same increase in storage…
I’m definitely considering it. I keep running into issues with cache sizes.
