- ThatMedicIsASpy 3y agoDepends on what you do, play, consider doing. I'm using it as my PC and love more storage. Once I finally buy a NAS I would care less. 256G+512G SD card and both are around 90% full.
- sphars 3y agoI think it just depends on the games you play. Check to see how much space they'll use. Personally, I don't play a lot of "AAA" type games, I play more indie games, so 256GB has more than enough space for me. You can always upgrade the SSD or use a microSD card.
- timw4mail 3y agoBetween SD cards and M.2 drive upgrades being pretty painless, you can start small and upgrade.
- Pathogen-David 3y agoSpace 100% comes down to the games you expect to play. Also the 256 GB model isn't the new OLED model being highlighted by this post. You can still get the now-discontinued LCD 512 GB model at a discount if you're concerned about space and don't care about OLED.
- robotnikman 3y agoI somehow managed to nearly max out my 512GB deck and 512GB microsd card. I was surprised to see storing stuff on the SD card had negligible impact on speed. It really depends on the games you play though and size of your library.
- distances 3y ago> I was surprised to see storing stuff on the SD card had negligible impact on speed. Yes this seemed to be the consensus on post-launch tests. There was virtually no difference in game loading times between internal drive and SD card, so everyone was recommending to just get the cheap model + a large SD (matching the highest SD card speeds that the Deck supports).
