Yes, but make sure it's the right type. The Steam Deck isn't compatible with just any SSD; it has to be an M.2 2230. Don't just buy the first SSD you see – check the specs!

Absolutely, you can upgrade the Steam Deck's storage with an SSD, but there's a catch. The device uses an M.2 2230 form factor, which is not as common as some other sizes. This means you'll need to find an SSD that fits this specification. It's a bit of a DIY project but totally doable if you're up for it!

Honestly, while you can, I'd question if it's worth the hassle. The Steam Deck is pretty solid out of the box, and expanding storage via a microSD card is much simpler and doesn't void your warranty.
