For the Steam Deck, it totally depends on your gaming needs. If you're planning to download a lot of big games like AAA titles, you might want to aim for a 512GB or even a 1TB microSD card to not run out of space too quickly. But if you're sticking to smaller indie games, a 256GB card could easily do the trick. Remember, more space, more games!

512GB should be your go-to size for an SD card on the Steam Deck. I've been using one, and it's the sweet spot between value and capacity. You can fit a decent game library without constantly worrying about uninstalling games to make space.

1TB, go big or go home. If you can afford it, why not? It's the ultimate peace of mind for game hoarders.

Honestly, just start with whatever you've got lying around. The beauty of Steam Deck is the flexibility. You can always get a bigger SD card later as your library grows.
