Avicus posted:Quiet day at work today so I did the install over my lunch break. Direct clone from the deck to the new drive via Clonezilla, usb hub and m.2 enclosure. Seems like a good deal. Can you explain the benchmarking numbers you posted? I assume it must be good but I haven't paid attention to SSD speeds in a while. It's kinda funny that my main gaming PC (that I also rarely game on) doesn't even have a 2TB hard drive. I never saw the point of upgrading it since I have decent internet speeds and m.2 drives weren't much better (at the time at least?) than the SSD that I carried over from the previous build.

Does anyone else’s deck make a high pitched whining sound (in headphones) when plugging in headphones? I think it used to be white noise weirdly enough but it’s somehow changed.

PantsBandit posted:(you should dl to pc first and then transfer bc the fastest dl method is a torrent) Curious about this. Deluge and transmission are available for the deck on desktop mode and I've downloaded torrents on the deck before and it appears to work fine, although if you do not connect to a power source the deck will turn off after 10 minutes or so. My understanding is downloading to the deck reduces the possibility of corruption in file transfer and the time needed to maintain the transfer through usb, wifi, etc

Docking related question: I have a portable usbc monitor I use for work when travelling- If i put plug my deck charger in to the monitor and then connect the deck to the monitor it seems to charge (whilst outputting video). I dont know much about electronics but am i playing with fire here? If so could this be solved with a docking station of some kind (using also the deck plug as the power source). Is thr cheapest dock option still this Jsaux jobby?

No USB power delivery "talks" to everything first and confirms the required voltage/amperage profile no matter what you plug in (except some fake shady gizmo). Your portable USBC monitor acts like a dock in this case, passing through the power.

Yeah, I have no idea on the real world performance, as the selling point for me was capacity. I've only been playing crisis core recently and haven't noticed any slower load times, so it seems at least as fast as my stock drive.

Games are basically never i/o limited on an SSD. Some games are a good file system read and prefetcher benchmark when they load (Kerbal Space Program, CK3, Victoria3, Stellaris). You will never be able to tell SSDs apart by looking at game load times though. Also, spectacle is the KDE Plasma default screenshot tool.

Just wanted to verify this is the drive that you all are getting from Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...randl_shipto=US Also, I saw this one that comes with steam os already installed and a flash drive with steam recovery installed on it. I’m going to assume this is a bad idea but seems like a good way to skip the recovery anxiety. Any thoughts? https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...id=4ZEmtCG4Nitc

The problem with getting a preimaged drive is that there could be any kind of sketchy stuff on there, spyware, malware etc. Especially on one direct from China. I would just format and reimage it or buy one without all that.

Sanitizing any drive you get from aliexpress is probably a good idea, but the 1TB that I got was a clean, genuine, and new WD drive, or such an incredibly good fake that WD's own software couldn't tell the difference. I definitely would not trust a pre-imaged drive, though. Not even from a reputable seller, to be honest.

Yeah when I said either I meant the pre imaged drive and it’s accompanying recovery media. A blank drive is obviously whatever.

I’d say 80% chance the pre imaged drive is above board and it’s just some Ali seller trying to find a product differentiator to drive sales, but why take the risk. Wiping and reimaging the drive is easy and fast.

I’m nearing the end of RDR2. How mature is 360 emulation on Steam Deck? Thinking about emulating RDR1 on it. I replayed it on Xbox Series X a couple years ago, so I could do that, but I’ll make some concessions if the portable experience is good.

My drive from AE had similar numbers as Avicus, as most people have mentioned it doesn't really affect performance for games, but I have noticed loading is faster over the old drive because I was using the 64GB MMC drive and an SD card. The shader loading for BotW is blazing fast now compared to the SD card haha

I reached the point of having to janitor games off my 512GB deck tonight so I just joined the aliexpress 2TB train in a fit of consumerist indulgence. Then I had to order a usb c memory stick from mymemory because lol I’m not getting that from aliexpress what do I look like, the worlds biggest total loving idiot?

Hey crazy idea here but try beating games 😂 Edit: And then uninstalling them I have a 256 steam deck plus 256 sd card and not only have I beaten more games since I got a deck (and then added them to a “beaten playlist” and deleted them) but I currently have 90 games installed between the 2 and I can’t imagine needing more storage than that at any given time unless I was on an archaeological dig in Sudan and was going to be without internet access for a year Honestly I feel like as a vent sniffer and life long gamer a lot of SD owners are falling into this min/max sink hole of trying to maximize their storage for no other reason than trying to maximize their storage. If anyone wants to pry open their deck and spend more money far be it from me to stop them but I’d like to let all the new Steam Deck owners know there are very few practical reasons to do any prying open unless some part of your Deck actually doesn’t work SilkyP fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Apr 23, 2023 |

Everyone plays games differently and not everyone is going to treat their games list as a to-do list. It's all good and more storage space doesn't hurt if you're the kind of person who bounces around a lot.

I can see needing more space because downloading big games kinda sucks. It doesn't do any clever downloading while sleeping you need to leave it on and set up to not go to sleep unattended. Not a big deal for an indie game but switching out 100+ gig AAA monsters could get annoying. I wish more games had options to not download giant texture stuff if you can't use it (the d4 beta had that option).

Glad you enjoy it, I never played it much on my PC but am putting so may hours in on my deck. Also I just discovered something about prices. In case you didn't know: If you find a new item and have no idea how to price it, press RT to open the item page of your notebook. Then scroll up and down in the column of items from that dungeon. At certain points there are price "thresholds". A line crosses the column and an amount is listed. Items below are worth less, items above more. It only gives you a very rough idea, but it saved me from selling expensive items way underpriced.

I do a lot of bouncing around with games until I decide on the next one I'm going to commit to, so having lots of them installed helps. I do uninstall those I finish though, so I'm not completely gluttonous.

For me the use case for fitting a 1TB SSD is my Favourites list. I don’t really “do” backlogs or even any other categories of games. But I do keep a curated list of 20 games in my Favourites. These are my GOATS and pretty much the reason I still own gaming hardware at all. I can fire up any of those games on a whim, usually at the expense of wanting to play anything new, so I like having all of them installed at any one time. Considering that list includes both the nuDoom’s, Halo MCC and Titanfall 2.. you don’t get much change from 512GB for much else. But knowing I can keep that entire list installed and still indulge in an obnoxious 100GB new release if I want to, is worth the upgrade.
