Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?

    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.

    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…
