Wait does the 64GB option support M.2 NVMe? I thought it only supports eMMC and that you can't swap with a different NVMe drive, but maybe I'm wrong?
That's a good question but no, it will work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSWb6jFlDk4
as someone with a 64gb deck with a 512gb drive swapped in I can confirm it works!
Yes, exactly what I did. You can just buy a 2230 nvme ssd and slap it in. Process is pretty painless (just remember to take any micro SD card out before you take the shell off or there’s a chance you’ll snap it)
The hardest part for me was finding a usb-c to usb-a converter so I could plug in a usb stick to reinstall the OS.
Luckily I already had some of that stuff from my switch. I do hope v2 steamdeck has a USB-A port (And I wouldn't mind a second USB-C on the bottom)
