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 got the 64gb because I want to upgrade the storage myself. I just need to get it.
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 upgraded my 512 to a 2tb sn740 by using an external nvme enclosure and rescuezilla to clone the original drive. Had zero issues.
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…
Got ssd today and deck is coming tomorrow.
Update my deck is doing fine and happy to say replacing SSD wasn’t that bad :)
I’m definitely considering it. I keep running into issues with cache sizes.
