What Speed SD Card Should I Use for the Steam Deck?

Best Answer

I use a UHS-I microSD card with my Steam Deck, and it works great! Look for something with at least 90 MB/s read speed for the best experience.

For optimal performance, go with a UHS-I or UHS-II microSD card, preferably Class 10 or higher. Faster read and write speeds mean less loading time and smoother gameplay.

Just get a Class 10 microSD card. Anything slower will be a bottleneck.
