Yes, you can replace the SSD on a Steam Deck, but it's not for the faint of heart. Officially, Valve hasn't made the Steam Deck to be user-serviceable in this way, meaning if you go poking around, you might void your warranty. If you're tech-savvy and comfortable with the risks, you'll find it uses a standard M.2 2230 SSD. Just be sure you're ready to take on the challenge and understand the potential consequences!

Absolutely, you can swap out the SSD, but think twice before you do. The Steam Deck isn't exactly designed for easy DIY upgrades like this, and you're on your own if something goes wrong. So, if you're not 100% sure what you're doing, maybe don't?
