Hi y’all,

I don’t know anything about technology stuff but I do know he’s been wanting a steam deck for a while.

I have a dumb question, so looking at the new steam deck that is being released, can you upgrade the SSD? Like if I buy the 512 GB, will he be able to buy a part in the future to a 1TB?

Another question, is it worth getting the new steam deck? I know it has upgrades compared to the LCD but I’m not sure if it’s really good or not.

Again, I know nothing about technology so I would appreciate the help :)

    You can upgrade the SSD, but he will need be to competent and careful, there’s a few stories on here of newbies being talked in to upgrading the SSD when they weren’t capable of it and killing the device. It’s as easy as such upgrades can possibly be though (on the old version, we don’t actually know if it’s as easy with the new one yet).

    With that said, it takes micro SD cards for extra storage, and the difference is almost non existent. He’ll be fine with the 512GB version and a 512GB/1TB micro SD card as long as it’s a good quality one.

    The new one is definitely worthwhile though. Between higher storage, a far better screen, and better thermals which seem to provide more stable performance, it is a much better idea.
