I ran out of 512 so fast on legion go s, (sd card reader sucks) Couldn't go with 256, but ive heard steam deck has a decent reader
I upgraded mine to 2TB and still have to uninstall games to add others every 2 months or so ๐
I own an OG Legion Go and owned a Steam Deck prior to that. The Deck's SD card reader is definitely better.
I have the 64gb LCD and run most games off sd card. With a quality card, it works really well.
I just got a 256GB steam deck. It's do able. But you'll want a PC nearby with your games installed. Then it'll just download it from your PC for lightning fast installs.
The Deck's reader does the full 80MB/s UHS-I well enough. It works well electrically, but the ejector sucks. I've picked up my system, and had the card randomly hang out like ๐. It is vital to tape over the card to keep it from wandering off on its own.
I put a fast 512GB SD card for dashcams in mine, and it works fine.
