Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?

I decided it wasn't worth it.

I bought the 256 GB deck. That filled up fairly quickly obviously and I looked at the alternatives. It turns out that if you buy the right SD Cards they're basically the same speed as the SSD, so I just bought a 1TB Samsung EVO and it's been great. Also, I didn't have to lose the existing 256 Gb of space that I had and it was zero effort.

Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a 2TB internal, or maybe I won't.

While game loading times are about the same, I definitely notice a big speed difference when installing games on the SSD vs microSD.
