Man it took some while when the deck said "testing", thought something was wrong with it, thank you for making this video!
To my great relief, its supposed to take some time, im used to instant formats in Windows.

When I try to use the micro sd card on my MacBook, the computer doesn’t recognize the card. Is there a way for the card to be recognized on my laptop?

Question (model oled 512): I installed the memory card and it's set to go. But when I checked storage I noticed an additional storage, SNO1T, & a message says I can format it to use. Is that an additional storage I can use?

Does it take over as the devices main storage or can I still use the internal storage for games
