Is There a Performance Difference Between Installing Games on a MicroSD Card and the Steam Decks SSD?
These delays are nearly imperceptible when using an SSD.
That said, these examples are quite rare.
A notable exception isStarfield, which demands an SSD even on high-end desktops.
Since it doesnt perform well on the Steam Decks hardware regardless, storage speed is less of an issue.
The majority of your game library should run perfectly fine from a microSD card.
