Anyone have any insight into the ability to upgrade the SSD on the OLED?
I purchased the highest capacity OG SD but regret it now as I swapped out the drive for a 2TB one so would have been cheaper to get the lowest space model instead. Considering doing the same on the OLED but want to make sure it’s the same deal with easy drive swap and no warranty issues? Anyone have any insight?
Looking through the Gamers Nexus comparsion between the OG and OLED the OLED board still appears to have a 2230 M.2 slot. It’s in a slightly different position, but should still be user replaceable. Valve has been really Right-to-Repair friendly, so I’d find it far more surprising if they had removed the ability to do so.
Do we still need those emi shields.
I’m 98% sure I’m getting the 512 OLED for the glossy screen. The thought of just throwing in a 2tb ssd is tempting. Before I do some more research, is the OS on the stock ssd or does it boot from somewhere else? If it is there, how fiddly is transferring that to the new drive?
It’s obviously on the internal drive. It is not fiddly at all. Just follow the guide.
So, my steamdeck is my only pc… because, well, I’m a heathen. I ordered the new oled, but want to upgrade the ssd. Can i use my old steamdeck to flash the new os onto a usb?
I understand this is a really newb question, and i guess the main jist of my question is around linux compatibility with the tool used to create the os file on the usb. I’m still very new to linux, and haven’t touched a windows machine in more than 10 years.
Not sure what you mean. If you want to use the SSD from your LCD in the OLED, just swap the SSD into the OLED, as long as the firmware is 3.5 it will just work in the OLED.
If you want to get a new drive for the OLED, just follow Valve’s guide on cloning the current SSD to the new one (after ensuring you’re on 3.5), then fit it in the OLED.
