Just got a 64gb steam deck and replaced the SSD with a 1tb sabrent Rocket and it's not showing up as an available drive. I reinstalled the old drive and it works fine. I have no other way of testing the drive. Most likely DOA?

You may want to check if it is partitioned.

Any way to do that on the steam deck?

[-] Gibberish9031@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I don't own a Steamdeck myself but since it's Arch Linux based there should be a partitioning tool like GParted built in.

Only flaw in that is that with the new drive installed, no operating system.

Oh! true, completely slipped my mind. Install it in another PC or use an M.2 enclosure with USB C to partition it and clone the original.

And it has to work with nvme over nvme and not just sata over nvme

NM thought I needed to see the drive in the boot loader but just needed to run steam recovery. Thanks for your help.

Happy to help, glad you figured it out.
