Changing the primary storage on a Steam Deck allows users to expand the storage capacity of their device, enabling them to install more games and applications. The Steam Deck comes with either 64GB, 256GB, or 512GB of internal storage, which can be limiting for users who have large game libraries or who frequently download new games.
Upgrading the primary storage on a Steam Deck offers several benefits. Firstly, it allows users to store more games and applications on their device, eliminating the need to constantly delete and reinstall games to make space. Secondly, a larger storage capacity can improve the performance of the Steam Deck, as games and applications can load faster from a solid-state drive (SSD) than from a mechanical hard drive. Finally, upgrading the primary storage can extend the lifespan of the Steam Deck, as it reduces the risk of running out of storage space and having to replace the device.
