Absolutely! Using an external hard drive with your Steam Deck is definitely a go. It's a sweet way to bump up your game storage beyond what the internal SSD offers. You just gotta make sure it's formatted correctly and you're ready to roll. Plus, with that extra space, you can keep your whole game library in your pocket. Well, maybe not literally in your pocket unless you've got really big pockets, but you get the idea!

Nah, don't bother. Just use SD cards. They're way more convenient for the Steam Deck's form factor and portability. Who wants to carry around an external HDD anyway?
