Finally decided I think I am going to get a Steam Deck. Decided to look at upgrading the hard drive, it is a little more compacted than I thought it would be. For those who have swapped, was it easy enough?

I work on computer hardware a lot, so I might not be the best judge, but this seems simple (If a bit tedious) enough for a normal person to accomplish.

Yeah, I was watching the video. The first thing that gave me pause was the, “drain battery to 25% as a charged lithium battery puncture can bee dangerous.”

And then I hate having to use the guitar picks to pry open stuff.

That said, I used to build my own computers. I have installed new SSDs in both of my ps5s. But it is not something I do often.

Honestly, you can half ass that shit. As long as you don't go hacking away at everything you'll be fine.

Just remember to remove the SD before opening!
