I ran out of 512 so fast on legion go s, (sd card reader sucks) Couldn't go with 256, but ive heard steam deck has a decent reader

I put a fast 512GB SD card for dashcams in mine, and it works fine.

I went with a cheap one, but it's max speeds should still be higher than what it can read/write, will try a more expensive one. Some games like flat out 2 worked off it, but loaded super slow with ocassional stutters and a single crash, would be fine on tv, but I want to quickly launch and play games when using a handheld. How fast do yours launch?

No different than from the internal drive as far as I can tell. I've never had any of those issues. It's a Samsung Pro.

You have the go s or the steam deck?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Steam Deck. Sorry, I thought that's what we were talking about. I see now you were talking about the Go.
