Solving Steam Deck Shader Storage with a 61.44TB SSD
storagereview.com
The essence of this unconventional amalgamation lies in its absurdity. We chose the Solidigm P5336 enterprise SSD, offering a staggering 61.44TB capacity. While the capacity is amazing, it leverages an enterprise U.2 form factor, which is problematic given the Steam Deck’s M.2 slot. As such, an M.2 to external U.2 adapter from NFHK was employed as the bridge, paired with an Icy Dock enclosure to hold the drive.
Unnecessary modifications of the steam deck that make stationary? I could not resist posting this here ;) My question to all the steam deck fans out there: Would you be able to fill this 60 TB beast with games?

The problem with that is more download speed, imo. Yeah, you can only play 1 game at a time, but if it's going to take you a day to install another game, why not have a few? And then ofc different games satisfy different needs. Like you can have a long JRPG, a shooter you're playing with your friends, a casual indie game you're working on.
You can only play one game at a time, but that doesn't stop you from playing multiple games over some days
Now you can enjoy five terabytes of updates each time you turn the deck on. Isn't that nice?
This is what my point is. You don't need 60 TiB of games on a device.
