I've had my eye on this for a bit. I'm incapable if deciding which version I want to buy (64GB/256GB/512GB). I'd be happy to hear from anyone who purchased either of these and what their thoughts are. Anyone regretting the 64GB and wishing they got a bigger one for example?
- WithinReason 4y ago64GB is enough, things like shader cache can be put on a cheap SDcard without a performance impact.
- blep-arsh 4y ago64 felt a bit too restrictive, so I've bought a 256GB one but ordered a replacement 512GB Samsung NVMe card later (1TB is also available for about $100 but I'm not sure about Deck compatibility and thermals). I'm glad that's an option. It's a peculiar form factor, though, so it took some figuring out.
- ekianjo 4y agoYou can easily upgrade the 64GB if you decide it was too small later on.
- fnands 4y agoI bought a 64 GB and replaced the SSD with a 256 GB ones myself almost immediately. From what I've heard reading from an SD card is fast enough anyway, but if you regret the skew you buy, upgrading is not much of a hassle. That being said, if you are afraid of opening it up, maybe go for 256.
- mizzack 4y ago64gb will fill up with shader cache. But if you don't mind upgrading the SSD yourself, it's always an option down the road and is considerably cheaper than buying the higher end Decks. e.g. a 256gb 2230 m.2 is ~$20 where the 256gb model Deck is $100 more. Also, you can get 1tb and 2tb 2230 drives, which aren't an option for a factory configuration.
