Let’s add up the components that I have added or will be adding to my unit. My unit will have 1TB of internal storage, so roughly twice the space but for sake of this experiment we are only going to see if my upgraded version could beat the price of the stock premium version. We know that the premium version comes with a special anti-glare screen treatment and 512 GB of internal storage. So let’s play a game and talk about the total cost of what my unit is going to ultimately be versus the highest stock model.
If you ONLY care about parity with the highest stock Steam Deck unit… you can pick up the 512GB for around $20. Over time it is a certainty that the price will go down, but 1TB appears to be the largest reasonable option for the 2230 form factor. This seemed to provide the most bang for the buck as 2TB drives are a wee bit out of my price range for the moment sitting around $600. After reviewing my options I decided to go with an OEM drive originally designed for the Microsoft Surface, but provides 1TB of storage and fits the 2230 single-sided form factor required by the Steam Deck. Good Morning Friends! I have to admit I have slowed down a bit on my whole “Steam Deck Nonsense” largely because I will not get my upgraded storage until early October.
