How To Install & Format Micro SD Card For The Steam Deck To Have It Show In Storage In Settings-1TB

Just fyi there are alot of fake SD cards being sold on the web right now that don't work on the steam deck just make sure you get it from a reliable source such as Amazon from Amazon seller 3rd party sellers are likely to be fake I bought one myself tried everything with the steam deck trying to format it etc but would not work

Looks up what should be a 2 min guide max. Scroll past others that are 5min+. Choose this one. Spot on!

My is having a problem

How much is a 2TB?

Straight to the point, much appreciated

Thank you 🎉

Anybody know how to stop steam os from making the sd card the primary drive upon each reboot? I manually set my main ssd to it, but whenever I reboot it goes back to the microsd card having a star on it.

Didn’t tell us that formatting deletes what’s on it retard

Thy that helped!

I bought a sp 1 tb mirco sd card and when it format it says error i keep trying to format it then it works reads the 1 tb but it won't unmount or work with windows anymore. I have to force the system to unmount it then put it in my switch format it then it works again i have yet to have a successful mount and format not sure what is going on.

i cant get the sd card to work with steam deck works in my pc just fine but not on deck cant do anything with it, SteamOS is dog shit im going to install windows on it i feel like steam OS doesnt work as intended on top of no sd card working my wifi card stops working some times just a nightmare with this thing im confident it has to do with steamOS

I thought it was easy. I tried mine and it wouldn’t format so I tried on a laptop and it pooped from existence . Looked up ways to recover but just ordered another and returned the dead one . Fingers crossed

Awesome bro

thank you very much

Is there a way I can add my ssd card without having to format it

For those that it didn't work just restart your deck and repeat steps your welcome

by installing the micro sd card, you can only store games on it? or can would you be able to play on the microsd? because if i do get the 64 model..

Please can anyone help me, this only work on the game mode. But when i try to install a game from Lutris/ launchers like ea for example, the storage is set to the ssd that came with my steam which is only 64gb so it wont download. How can i make the micro ssd work on desktop mode?

Let’s be honest here this video should be 1 minute we got games to play here
