Currently upgrading the SSD in my #SteamDeck from 64 GB to 1 TB. Current status: cloning disk.

@jumpinglangur how has the upgrade been so far? I just ordered a 64 gb steam deck that I will upgrade in the future.

@playitloud now dd-ing the full disk image to the new SSD. Had to go through an intermediary file as I only have one M.2 slot. Once finished, will resize the last partition (data partition), add the disk to the deck and see if it boots. 🤞🤞

@jumpinglangur I didn’t even think about needing to take out my NVME drive to be able to image the one for the Steam Deck. That will be more annoying than anything.

@playitloud it has actually been super easy and quick, and the deck booted without problems with the new drive.

@jumpinglangur Glad to see everything worked out!

@jumpinglangur @playitloud Did the Deck just repartitioned by itself? Might look into upgrading the SSD soon enough.

@provomeister @playitloud no, I imaged the full 64 GB drive with all partitions using dd, and then dumped the image onto the new 1 TB drive, also with dd. I finally resized the data partition with gparted, and installed the new drive. That's it!
