Absolutely, the Steam Deck can indeed use an external hard drive! You just need to make sure it's connected via the USB-C port. This is super handy for those who have an extensive Steam library and want to make the most out of the portable gaming experience. Remember, though, that performance might vary depending on the speed of your external drive, so choose wisely!
For real, external HDDs work with it, but expect some games to load slower than a sloth on a lazy Sunday. Stick to SSDs or SD cards for the best experience.
