The essence of this unconventional amalgamation lies in its absurdity. We chose the Solidigm P5336 enterprise SSD, offering a staggering 61.44TB capacity. While the capacity is amazing, it leverages an enterprise U.2 form factor, which is problematic given the Steam Deck’s M.2 slot. As such, an M.2 to external U.2 adapter from NFHK was employed as the bridge, paired with an Icy Dock enclosure to hold the drive.
Unnecessary modifications of the steam deck that make stationary? I could not resist posting this here ;) My question to all the steam deck fans out there: Would you be able to fill this 60 TB beast with games?
my steam library and all dlc is just over 10tb. Thats for 976 games. I need to step up my game
The
factorylibrary must grow.
3D print a custom back for that and make it portable again. Though I wonder how much power the drive consumes.
Edit: NM, between the external power supply required and the fact the first picture is it just sitting on the Steam Deck and not actually integrated, you’d be carrying it around extra. Maybe mod the deck and put the drive in a housing so it’s easier to hook up.
@cron I don’t know if I’d fill one of those 60TB with either Steam or non-Steam games. But I have a different question: why struggling with incompatible hardware? Like, okay, you got an adapter, but isn’t that thing too physically big for your Deck?
