Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?

    I own a 64GB Deck and have not yet purchased a replacement SSD but will eventually.

    The plan is to continue to use the Deck for at least another 6 months and make sure nothing is wrong with it or any issues develop that would be covered under warranty. Once that’s over I will install a 1TB internal and a pair of hall-effect joysticks.

    My current 512GB mSD card and a 1TB internal drive will realistically be more than enough for anything I plan to do with the Deck.

      That makes a lot of sense, but just so you know opening your deck will not void your warranty.

      Obviously any new parts you put in aren’t covered, and if you damage something that damage won’t be covered. But unlike some devices opening your deck won’t void warranty for the whole thing simply because it was opened.

        I did know that but I appreciate the information.

        I’m only waiting because I’m not having too much trouble with the 64GB internal SSD and 512GB mSD. If I end up noticing something that might need an RMA I don’t want to have to do double the work.
