The small 'U' on the front of a MicroSD card with either a 1 or a 3 inside it is the most important thing to look for when picking out a card. This describes the MINIMUM write speed the card will retain during sequential write operations like large game files, 1 for 10MB/s and 3 for 30MB/s. Most importantly this means when downloading new games ...
Next, plug the new SD card into the Steam Deck and format it. Next, plug the old card into the USB-C reader and switch to Desktop mode. Open the file browser and navigate to the old card, select all, copy, and paste into the new card. Wait for everything to copy. Once done, remove the card reader and switch back to Deck mode.
SD Card File Path : r/SteamDeck. Steam Deck OLED Available Now! Make Your OLED Dreams Come True! While in desktop mode and using the file explorer, the SD card file path shows as primary. When I open RetroArch, I have no clue how to access the SD card file path to store games. Any insight is much appreciated.
Run the VM and then plug in the SD card in your reader to you PC. VMware workstation asks if you want to mount it to the host or the VM. Select the VM and you have full access to the SD card. Depending on your setup, you can share your folder from your PC to the VM as well and transfer and since it's local, it's pretty fast.
yes will be fine, it may be slow depending on the type of sd card though... use rufus, windows 10 ISO and make sure you image it windows on the go or similar in the options. I have an extra 400GB SD Card for my Steam Deck. I was thinking about installing Windows on this SD and install all the EA, Epic, Ubisoft, Xbox games….
Which microSD card to get. PSA / Advice. According to valve the Steam Deck supports "UHS-I SD, SDXC and SDHC". So hardware-wise the Steam Deck is limited to 104 MB/s read/write speed and a maximum capacity of 2 TB. When it comes to choosing a microSD card there are multiple performance ratings. Speed Class: C2, C4, C6, C10.
I did the 're-image' on Steam Deck using the micro SD card. I can confirm that it is 100% possible and doesn't take much time. The instruction says USB-C but the SD card work just fine. You have to physically plug the SD card into the laptop/PC, but most of them should have a slot for memory cards in general.
rkido. I seem to remember Valve confirming that it should be possible to share an SD card between PC and Steam Deck, but there hasn't been any more information about this. Nobody really knows yet what filesystems SteamOS will support OOTB on SD cards. For performance I wouldn't want to use any filesystem created by Microsoft on the SD card ...
A high quality SD card can do 100MB/sec, limited by the SDIO interface in the deck. A USB2 flash drive will do about 25MB/sec if you're lucky. A high end USB3 flash drive could probably do better, but would only do a bit better then the SD card due to being limited by the flash memory rather than the interface.
I got the 64GB with 1TB SD card. It works perfectly fine. Then upgraded the internal nvme m.2 2230 with 1TB and transferred most of my games to the internal drive. I can measure a significant read/write performance improvement compared to the sdcard, but I personally don't feel that games are loading that much faster, if there is any improvement.
