One of the best Steam Deck microSDs, in its fattest form

Here in the UK, you’ve got a choice between £95 at Amazon or £100 direct from SanDisk owners Western Digital. Those just awaking in the States, you’re looking at even better deals: $84 from Amazon or $88 from B&H Photo Video. All of these prices are, to reiterate, silly-small money for what is essentially the highest-capacity microSD card that a Steam Deck orAsus ROG Allywill currently take. The Ultra was already one of the more budget-oriented microSD options out there, but it’s always proven surprisingly quick in my testing, so you can’t really go wrong here.

Generally, I’m still advocating that handheld PC owners looking to make a storage upgrade should consider a good microSD before replacing the internal drive it came with.Upgrading the Steam Deck SSDis doable, and there are a lot more worthy aftermarket SSDs now than there were a couple of years ago, but it’s still a fiddlier, riskier path to making more game space than simply popping in a microSD card like this one. And hey, 1.5TB will holdan awful lot of games.
