![]() Here’s what MR looks like when the original drive is connected where the bottom drive is the Steam Deck SSD. I chose to connect the original NVMe drive using an enclosure, which is where I’m going to leave the original installed and I'll (eventually) repurpose it as an external storage drive. I’ve had good experiences with Orico, Cruxtec and ICY BOX enclosures, and I’ve had bad experiences with cheap and no-name enclosures from eBay and AliExpress (including one that may have been the thing that killed one of my NVMe drives). If there isn’t an internal NVMe slot in the computer, an external NVMe enclosure can be used, but if you do so make sure it’s one of reputable brand. I can only provide an example of upgrading from the original 256 GB SSD from my Steam Deck to a 1 TB drive, and I’m going to provide my experience with the upgrade process which was done with the intent that all my data and installs on the old drive were usable on the new drive:Īs this process is not done on the Steam Deck itself, the original drive must be connected to or installed into a computer after removing it from the Steam Deck. There are a few guides to upgrading to a new SSD on this sub, and I thought it might be worthwhile going through the steps and the experience of using Macrium Reflect to perform one of these upgrades, as I’ve used MR previously to migrate SSDs in laptops.
