Anyone can recommend a decent card for more storage? What's the max size supported?

Do you mean micro SD card, or are you referring to a replacement M2 drive? (I'm assuming the former). I believe it supports up to a 2 TB micro sd card and there's been various discussions about what brand to go for. Personally, I'd upgrade the internal SSD over relying on a micro SD, and use the micro SD for things like ROMs / retro gaming.

Speaking of retro gaming, I swapped over to retrodeck from emudeck last night and man, it's just so much simpler and easier to set up and use.

Didn't realise I could upgrade the internal storage. What's best way to go about doing that?

I'll add it's very straightforward.

I grabbed a 256gb lcd in the black Friday sales and replaced the SSD today with a 512gb. Less than 20 minutes.

It took longer than that to download the steamos image and reimage the deck.
 
Agree with others; I grabbed a 256GB refurb and swapped to a 1TB. Dead easy. Probably worth ibvesting in a nice little kit to do it - pry-bars / screwdrivers etc. Makes it all much easier (and I've used it loads for other things).
 
Steam Deck ready for Christmas! Swapped the SSD for a 2TB before I even turned it on and added a spare 1TB MicroSD for EmuDeck/ROMS - getting wrapped up for tomorrow with a few bits (JSAUX Grip & UGreen Dock) but delighted with it so far in the few little bits I've played.
Certainly came on since I last tried on at launch in 2022.
