In short, that means both Steam Deck versions will be faster than the base 64GB model, which utilizes eMMC – a kind of halfway house between standard hard drives and solid-state drives. Your choice here boils down to how much storage is needed: 64GB, 256GB, or 512GB, though it’s worth taking a moment to consider speeds as well.īoth the 256GB and 512GB versions use NVMe solid-state drives. RAM, CPU, GPU, screen size, and system-specific features are all the same across the board. There are some superficial options, like the most expensive version comes with a different bag and some virtual items, but in terms of how each Steam Deck differs, they’re all near-identical excluding the hard drive size. So is it worth it for me, and is it worth saving for a 512GB model if I decide to get one.The most important element to consider when purchasing a Steam Deck is how much storage you’ll need. Can anyone tell me how much they can store with the 256GB version? I would have to wait another 3-4 months or so for a 512GB Steam Deck.
Sure, I can use a MicroSD card, but I won't be as fast and (if the Steam Deck supports such) something like DirectStorage (or anything equivalent) won't work under a MicroSD card. I currently have enough money to spare for a 256GB Steam Deck, but I hear it's not enough for storing many games. The next time I'll actually be able to use one extensively is during a summer trip that is happening in mid-JulyĪs well as it handles today's AAA games, I have uncertainties about tomorrow's games since today's games are already pushing the Steam Deck to its limits I don't go out too often, making it less useful.
My laptop is crappy for gaming, but I have a gaming PC at homeĪs a Linux enthusiast, I find the Steam Deck to be an interested piece of hardwareīut here are a few things that make me reconsider: I'm not sure if I want to get one, but here are reasons I would get one:
