These Prime Day deals on microSD cards are a perfect fit for your Steam Deck
With all the Amazon Prime Day deals buzz, it's easy to lose sight of the smaller items that make your life easier as you search through the PC gaming deals. If you're one of the lucky few Steam Deck(opens in new tab) owners out there, you'll probably be looking for ways to get the most out of your fancy new handheld.

Thankfully the Steam Deck supports microSD cards. This means you have a way of expanding the system's storage up to an extra 1TB of storage. Ideally, you want to store your Steam games on the Deck's internal storage (to take advantage of the SDD's speed) and use the microSD for things like ROMs for emulation and other media files.
