how long does it take to transfer like 400gb of roms from the steamdeck internal storage to a microsd
i was gonna make a thread all gushing like gee whiz that was easy, you literally just press Y to format the card and then click Migrate and even a luddite r-slur like me was able to figure this out, another massive dub for deckchads

only for stuff like photos or music, no way you'll be able to play games off it that are big enough that moving them off the device makes sense

Steam deck has an iFixit score of 7/10, so if you want more storage, check out their guide.

roms get heavy quick for home consoles, but faster speeds aren't really needed since they ran on CDs/shit cartridges which have abysmal read speed
