How many of you don’t have a Steam Deck yet?

    The eMMC one does support installing an NVMe, and from what I’ve seen the Deck can’t really support more than PCIe 3.0 speeds. If you find a good deal on a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 drive it will still work but there’s no reason to spend extra on a newer drive.

      Yeah I was mainly moaning about the chipset limitation being PCIe 3.0. Kind of makes me wonder if they’re planning an update in the next year or so.

        I don’t think a device like SteamDeck benefits from PCIe 4 speeds. Increased power consumption feels not worth it.

          I don’t think there’s a significant power increase from PCIe 3 to PCIe 4. It’s just an increase in bandwidth, and SSDs aren’t high power devices either.
