Want to boost your Steam Deck storage capacity? Add a 61TB Solidigm SSD

Had to mangle the title as it was too long.

Useless summary of what is clearly another source, without an obvious link to that actual source, no photos of the experiment and a bunch of secondhand discussion. Just repost garbage, likely to drive ad views (not that I'm willing to turn off ad blocking to find out). The actual source article (https://www.storagereview.com/review/solving-steam-deck-shader-storage-with-a-61-44tb-ssd https://www.storagereview.com/review/solving-steam-deck-shad...) is sort of pointless too, but in a more fun experimentation way. The "is this possible even though you wouldn't want to do it" way.

  They even posted a picture an ssd with the wrong form factor. Its as if an LLM wrote it, even though I know its probably human.

  Thanks for the original source. This is pointless nonsense, but it’s exactly the sort of pointless nonsense I want to read on a Friday evening!

  $15-30 bucks per TB ?! that's honestly mindblowing to me.

    It doesn't seem to be true though, or at least I can't find a purchase link. I also don't see that in the original article at all.

      In this paragraph: > Using the Solidigm P5336, however, StorageReview was able to “obliterate'' current storage limitations and open up a world of possibilities for users. Click the link that's embedded in "Solidigm P5336" Which takes you to: https://www.techradar.com/pro/worlds-highest-capacity-pcie-ssd-hits-61tb-and-you-could-fit-two-in-your-pc https://www.techradar.com/pro/worlds-highest-capacity-pcie-s... Which contains: > (As of August 2nd, multiple vendors have started to list the 15.36TB and 30.72TB model for about $55 per TB) Which actually highlights that I misread/misquoted. It's $55 per TB, not 15-30. I will update my post.
