I don't know if you replied to the right comment, the Steam Deck has a microSD card slot on the outside, no need to touch any screws.
yup. sorry. since your comment came in the midst of a discussion about changing the internal storage I assumed it was another comment along that line rather than heres another thing you can do. the original subject though is on the internal storage which a microsd card is all fine but im not going to install games to one. I actually don't see using a microsd except if using it as a linux pc. after all the steam saves are stored on my steam account.
Yes I figured, just was trying to clarify that other person's comment too. I actually now install most of my games on the microSD, there isn't any noticeable difference in speed.
If the games can load memory early enough I could see it not effecting it but im old school and want full sata bandwidth. Ill say though that I have been surprised by even modern thumbdrives on usb ports throughput wise nowadays.
