if you plan to upgrade SSD on your Steam deck here is the correct step to do if you don't have a PC.
Step1: Follow this video to create the recovery usb flash drive on your steam deck( from time 00:00 to 04:34)
Step2: Swap your new SSD
Step3:. use the recovery usb flash drive created in Step 1 to re-image the steam deck by following this video from time 04:38 to the end of the video

Absolute life saver, hate how all other guides just expect you to own a pc.

🎉 No words to describe how good this was!!! I tried following other videos, but they did not explain the length of time those loading screens can take! Thank you for this tutorial!

Finally found someone with a good guide all the other pretentious PCels expect you to have a computer and be a master at software

Finally, a guide that a child can follow. Thank you my friend

Thank you so much for this guide I feel stupid being that it's on the steamos page and I was trying to use Rufus for windows all this time instead of balencia. Thanks for making this easy. I finally got my ssd working 😊
