You think a microSD is only marginally slower than an nvme SSD?

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/x0wdd8/disk_benchmarks_results_emmc_vs_nvme_vs_microsdxc/

Found some benchmarks. Load times appear to be influenced by the CPU doing decompression. It's not the SD being as fast as a SSD, but rather the SSD bring as slow as a SD because of this. That's... interesting.

Load times have always been bottlenecked by the CPU, so it's not a massive surprise that the SSD is about on par with a decent SD card.

On the PS4 an SSD was faster than a HDD, but not by a massive amount. At least it was quieter though.

Yep. At some point maybe Valve will change that, but for now, it's a great way to get a steam deck. And even if they do change/fix that later, you're not really missing out on anything- everything will be the same speed it always was for you.

In the steam decks case yeah.
