Upgrade SSD or getting a big SD card? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So relatively new deck owner.

Got a deal on a regular Deck for pretty cheap. I didn’t opt for the 1TB SSD or anything like that.

I know that it’s a pretty easy hardware replacement for the SSD or the SD card.

I just have a couple questions:

Does the cloning process for the SSD require specialized tools?
do you notice a huge performance improvement on SSD compared to SD card?

The only games I would feel like I’d want to have better performance from an SD card are basically just anything that runs on Unreal 5.

I was having issues with TW3 (mainly when it was raining), but I have just found out I need to actually go back to some beta version of the game instead.
