There is some truth to it: shaders indeed get stored in the internal NVME. Redditors would lead you to believe that a 64GB drive is going to be a huge issue because the shader cache for every game ends up accumulating and taking more and more space until it chokes the 64GB drive. Now let’s see what you need to get started if you want to go this way. This was a bet, of course, based on things that I did not know at the time: would the Steam Deck be easy to open up, and would the drive be easily accessible? The answer was YES for both questions. Software Operating System: SteamOS 3.At the time when I pre-ordered my Steam Deck, I went the cheap way by securing a 64GB version, My rationale was that by the time the Steam Deck would be in my hands, the price of NVME storage would keep falling and it would be cheaper, if possible, to upgrade the Steam Deck later on by myself.
