Solving Steam Deck Shader Storage with a 61.44TB SSD (www.storagereview.com)

The essence of this unconventional amalgamation lies in its absurdity. We chose the Solidigm P5336 enterprise SSD, offering a staggering 61.44TB capacity. While the capacity is amazing, it leverages an enterprise U.2 form factor, which is problematic given the Steam Deck’s M.2 slot. As such, an M.2 to external U.2 adapter from NFHK was employed as the bridge, paired with an Icy Dock enclosure to hold the drive.

Unnecessary modifications of the steam deck that make stationary? I could not resist posting this here ;) My question to all the steam deck fans out there: Would you be able to fill this 60 TB beast with games?

I think that beyond 1, max 2 tb is just a waste to have more storage, you'll just end up stuck with the " Netflix dilemma" all the time. Every game is already in your Steam library (or the other ones) as it is. Even if the wifi download take time, with a cheap dock and a cable connected to the modem you can download all your title quite quickly. With 2 tb there should be also enough room for "free games" files.

I think it is hard to set a limit, as some games have 2 GB and others have 200 GB. Depending on the games (and mods) you like, it is possible to fill a 2 TB disk with just a handful of games. Other gamers might have 100+ games installed on the 512 GB model.
