I upgraded my Steam Deck in two ways – Internal SSD upgrade and Dbrand skins!
Prawn here with a video to show you how I upgraded my Steam Deck, what I used, the steps for doing so and why you should/could to.
In this video I’m showing you some of the process for upgrading the internal storage on the Steam Deck. As well as talking about Dbrand’s Project Killswitch case and the features of that and why I can’t use it (see the link below to the Reddit post on it but essentially I have the wrong fans in my Steam Deck). But I still used the skin because it’s awesome.
My Steam is the 256GB model which I found filled up ridiculously fast and that was disappointing, but that was temporarily fixed with a MicroSD card, but those aren’t nearly as fast as NVMe SSDs.
@corsair Recently released the Corsair MP600 mini which is a PCIe gen 4 NVMe that’s the perfect size for the Steam deck, so I thought it would be cool to show you how to use this to upgrade your storage and the process for it.
Check below for the links to the products I used and the guides on how to do it in step-by-step ways, but stick around to see the full video and the final result, which not only looks awesome but has more storage and loads quickly too!
