I'm looking to upgrade my Steam Deck's storage and want to know what the best SD card options are. I've heard that loading times can be longer when using an SD card compared to the internal storage, but I'm curious if the performance is still acceptable. Are there specific speed ratings or brands that are recommended?

The Samsung Pro Plus seems to be the sweet spot for performance and price, with loading times nearly matching the internal SSD. For budget options, the SanDisk Ultra is just slightly slower but much cheaper, now available up to 1.5TB.

A 1TB SanDisk Extreme Pro offers top performance, but the regular Extreme model is more cost-effective. Most users won't notice the Pro's speed advantages in everyday use, making the standard Extreme version a smarter choice that delivers excellent performance at a better price point.
