SSD vs MicroSD on Steam Deck
DexertoFor most players, the difference between performance on both the internal SSD and microSD cards will be completely negligible. It’s more of reliability and cost, over anything else. Some microSD cards are prone to failure, but if you stick to our recommendations, you won’t have those problems.
Upgrading your SSD is still cheaper than buying a microSD, but opening up a Steam Deck can be a bit troublesome for some. We’ve written an extensive guide on how to get through this, but if you want an easy life, stick with the microSD.
The other nice aspect of the microSD card on Steam Deck is that you can treat them like cartridges.
For those planning to go this route, instead of just carrying the microSD cards in the carry case or loose in a bag, grab one of the JSAUX docks or grab a specific case to keep them safe.
