If your mobile gaming machine is fast filling up with big PC games, give it a little extra breathing room on the cheap.

Handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck are amazing… but so are the file sizes of modern PC games. Baldur’s Gate III is sitting at over 140GB on my machine (and I don’t even have the Withers Big Naturals mod), which is more than half of the storage of the base model. If you need a little breathing room, today you can grab a 1TB TeamGroup MicroSD card for just $62.99.
With a 110MB/s speed rating for data read, this card should max out the Steam Deck’s MicroSD card slot, allowing for maximum performance for anything stored on it. (Still not as fast as the internal storage, though.) It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so any problems short of snapping it in half should mean a free replacement… though that puts a lot of faith in TeamGroup to uphold it, I’ll admit.
This price is well below the going rate for cards of similar size and speed. It’s a great, easy way to add storage to gadgets like the Steam Deck, Xbox ROG Ally, or Nintendo Switch, especially if you’re packing up for a long trip. If you don’t need quite that much storage, the 512GB version is $35.99, also a pretty good deal.
