Since it’s just a PC using pretty normal PC parts, there’s been some people brewing ideas already for hardware hacking on Valve’s upcoming handheld PC, the Steam Deck. Valve has been pretty straightforward that the hardware, for all its fancy case and control scheme, is just a portable PC inside—Gabe Newell even said that you can put Windows on it, and even other game storefronts if you’d like.
A Reddit user emailed Gabe Newell with a followup question, asking if the Steam Deck will have a replaceable SSD, allowing users to upgrade the machine’s storage. After all, from a technical standpoint the only big difference between the three Steam Deck models available for pre-order right now is storage capacity. Newell replied that the Steam Deck SSD was connected with a 2230 M.2 slot, meaning it’s not soldered to the main board or otherwise connected in some extremely permanent way.
