Fancy a Steam Deck Brain Transplant? This SSD is Almost 40% Off!
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Rock Paper Shotgun spotted a great deal on the Crucial P310 SSD, perfect for upgrading your Steam Deck's storage, but be warned: it's a fiddly job best left to those with a bit of tech wizardry!
Right, so you're rocking a Steam Deck, yeah? Cracking piece of kit, but let's be honest, storage fills up faster than a wizard's potion cabinet after a shopping spree. Rock Paper Shotgun (credit where credit's due, mates!) flagged up a rather tempting deal: the Crucial P310 2TB SSD is currently going for a song over on Amazon – we're talking nearly 40% off. That’s enough space for, like, all the games. Probably.
Now, before you go charging in like a goblin for gold, a word of caution. Swapping out the SSD in your Steam Deck isn't quite as simple as plugging in a new memory card. It's more akin to performing delicate brain surgery on your beloved handheld. James from Rock Paper Shotgun (again, hats off to them!) wrote a whole guide about this, and he rightly points out that Steam Decks weren't exactly designed to be tinkered with. So, proceed with caution, yeah?
But here's the thing: if you're the sort who enjoys a bit of DIY, if you've got the steady hands of a surgeon and the patience of a saint (or just a really good YouTube tutorial), then this could be a game-changer (pun intended, naturally). Imagine, all that extra space! No more agonizing over which games to delete just to make room for the new hotness. Plus, the Crucial P310 is a decent bit of kit, known for its speed and reliability. It’s not just for the Steam Deck either; you can slot it into your ASUS ROG Ally and enjoy the increased storage.
Think of it as an investment in your gaming future. You know, for when the next Steam sale rolls around and you inevitably buy 20 more games you'll probably never play. We've all been there, right? But hey, at least you'll be prepared! And, who knows, maybe you'll even finally get around to finishing Monster Train 2. Or not. The point is, you'll have the *option* to. And that, my friends, is true power. Just remember, don't blame me if you accidentally summon a digital gremlin while you're inside your Deck. Fair dinkum!
