SDUC supports up to one hundred and twenty eight Terabytes O.o
Who in the world requires so much Storage on a tiny SD card?!

People who want a Raspberry Pi NAS without having to buy a hat?

I wish I could trust SD cards enough to use one on my Pi NAS… I just snagged a 5GB external HDD.

Five… gigs?

Oooo thank you. Brain broken today. Five gigs is the average movie size hahaha

Isn’t it preferable to have a RAID configuration for your NAS? Or do you then buy multiples of those?
Telorand@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Certainly, but only if you’re proactive about backups. If you’re lazy, well…

Look, some people may have a porn collection that they need to backup and store “about their person” and this is the ideal way to do that.
Don’t be kink shaming.

We say that about every tech capacity. No way anyone could ever use more than 1.44mb, oh man 2mb ram will be all I ever need etc.

When people disassemble their steam deck for the first time, they often forget to pull out their expensive micro sd, and it gets cracked by Steam deck body in half

Deck gang rise up

Luckily there is a m.2 slot in the deck 😉
And in general as well, does it make more sense to use m.2 Type-2230 SSD instead of SD cards, these days. Way faster and way more robust.
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Not really super feasible for the average user to crack apart the plastic casing and reformat the new m.2 slot (since there is only one) with a new SteamOS partition.
I think you’ll find 95% of all steam deck users will prefer popping in a microsd than doing some pc building.
PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s not too hard. Make a direct copy of the old drive to an external drive. Install the new drive. Do a direct copy back onto the new drive from the external. Expand the partition to the new size.
Or you can install the new drive and reinstall steam os.

As someone who did swap theor steam deck’s M.2, I really wish it were a 2280 instead since those drives can hold much more. The largest 2230 I could find was only 2 TB.

That’s a lot of games/applications then

I use mine exclusively for emulation and ROMs, entire libraries of every single game released for older systems. It runs them fine without issue. Potentially with newer/bigger games you might come across issues, that I haven’t really done at all.

I’ve been using a 1tb sd card with mine and my steam library. Not any noticeable difference in speed between the internal ssd and micro sd.

How many different game are you trying to play at a time?
