I’m eyeing on getting a 64gb base model since thats the only one available in my nearest store. Valve doesnt sell decks in my country so scalpers are the only way.
64gb is the most affordable option for me. I plan to get a 512gb sd card and play some casual cod zombies, deep rock galactic, fallout 76 etc.
Is it enough or will the SD card bottleneck it? There’s no 256gb or 512gb model unless I take the risk of getting scammed.
Just to note, and by no means is this a common issue I’ve seen, but I recently had the SD card I had in mine (a legit Samsung card, 512gb) just randomly corrupt itself so all the games installed on it couldn’t be seen by the Steam Deck anymore. That also lead to a bonus issue where the Deck thought the games where still installed whenever I tried to reinstall them and them not booting once they had been reinstalled, and at least one of them games (once I fixed that problem) still occasionally needs me to verify the installed files so it can reaquire one before the game will load
