Okay, I saw another video.

Read Speed, no difference, but the Evo writes at about 70mb/s whereas the Sandisk Ultra does it in 30mb/s. So quite a large when writing files. Which is significant when you are downloading the game, not when loading.

My home download speed isn't that fast so I went with the 1TB, as I will lose 2 if i carry another. Plus i went with the 256G model so best to have a single larger all-in-1. I am tempted to get the 512G though!

Not had my Steam Deck notification yet but I’ve just ordered the 512Gb card @ £35 in anticipation. Seems a pretty good price TBF.

Looking forward to using emulators as much as current games.
 
There's a few other bits on prime day too. Looking at getting the Benazcap dock with the USB C charging cable while i wait for steam to drop their official one.

Is there a way to hook the Steam deck to a monitor that is hooked up to my pc but allow me to switch between the two depending on what im doing?

Drifferent inputs then you just switch between inputs?

The 512Gb model. Currently says July-Sept as I only pre-ordered on the 17/07/21, but they do appear to be slowly catching up with the backlog now.

I've just read that the Deck only has 1 usb-c port, so if you use an external display does that mean you can't charge it while in use?

Edit: NVM i figured it out

About midday I think. It’ll turn up sooner or later.
