A few days ago, information appeared on the net on how to install a longer M.2 drive in the Steam Deck console. This was reported by user @TheSmcelrea, who posted images of him modifying the console.
Lawrence Yang, Valve designer, responded to his message and media news. He wrote that you shouldn’t do this because the charger parts get very hot. So it’s not worth removing or moving the thermal pads that cover them, and this is exactly what the enthusiast did.
In addition, most 2242-size M.2 drives use more power and run hotter than the console was designed for, according to Yang. This can cause the Steam Deck to malfunction prematurely. The designer also noted that Valve is working with iFixit to provide a full list of replacement or additional parts for the console. However, we are talking about case modifications, not circuitry or power systems.👀 Perhaps the biggest drain in GTA 6 has arrived here
