    I would have to disagree that any sdcard is as fast as an SSD.

    Maybe a really fast sdcard and a really slow SSD?

    Edit: oh maybe that is a steam-deck-specific thing? It’s the SSD connection over USB2 or something?

      No its Just that at some point disk speed provides marginal improvments for most games, especialy since most games were designed with hdd drivers in mind . And sd vs ssd in steam deck are at that point. There are exceptions to that, but they are pretty rare ( alghtough i cant remember one right now but i know i watched one comparison where nvme disk provided actual reasonable benefit compared to sata so i imagine its even bigger with sd card ). So unless you play very specific game a lot that you know benefits from fast disk speed then it dosent really matter that much.
