Merry Christmas folks.

In other news, so it turns out that outside of ebay, 2230 ssds are either out of stock or are very expensive for the capacity they are. But it also turns out that my Dell laptop also has a 2230 ssd as its main boot drive and I had my old 1TB Samsung 970 Evo not being used (Since I replaced it with my SN850 when I got my new PC). So I went ahead and swapped in the 970 Evo on my dell laptop and I swapped out the 64GB EmmC with the 512GB Samsung SSD from my Dell laptop onto the Steam Deck.

It was very easy to swap it all out and reinstall Steam onto it. I actually didn't have a USB-C flash drive but I do have a USB-C dongle for my Macbook Pro 16 which worked with the Steam Deck flawlessly when reinstalling the OS. So essentially I now have 512GB steam deck for free.
