Speaking of requirements, the Deck does need its microSD cards to meet the UHS-1 speed standard, but if you read on you’ll find four of the best, fully-compatible candidates I’ve found. These cards are also cheaper and much, much easier to find in stock than the specific type of SSD model that the Steam Deck requires (M.2 2230, a smaller form factor than the desktop-spec 2280 design). In other words, using microSDs isn't a half-measure in the same sense that "upgrading" your main PC storage with a USB thumb drive would be. It’s true that for pretty much any desktop, I’d advise you customise your own storage (probably while crowbarring in a best SSDs link), but as far as I can tell, good microSD cards can actually perform almost as quickly as the Steam Deck’s stock drives - without the need to go poking around its innards at all. You can put away the tiny screwdrivers – the best microSD cards for the Steam Deck have asserted themselves as the ideal option for upgrading your Deck’s storage capacity, despite the handheld PC letting you open it up to replace the Valve-installed SSD yourself.
