Yep, you can change the SSD in the Steam Deck, but it's not for the faint of heart. The Steam Deck uses an M.2 2230 SSD, which is a bit on the rare side and smaller than the more common sizes. If you're tech-savvy and have the right tools, it's doable. Remember, though, cracking open your Steam Deck could void the warranty. So, proceed with caution and maybe watch a tutorial or two before diving in.

Yes, technically you can, but should you? It's risky business opening up your Steam Deck and could void your warranty. Plus, finding a compatible M.2 2230 SSD isn't as easy as grabbing any off the shelf. If you're not comfortable with tech DIY projects, might be best to stick with what you've got.

Changed mine, works like a charm! Just make sure you get the right M.2 2230 size SSD and back up everything. Also, patience is key; don't rush the process.
