   Last night I used a tutorial for automounting a ssd to the steam deck* with something else - I got a sandisk usb 3.0 sdxc reader and added a relatively inexpensive teamgroup 512gb sdxc to it. I was able to format it in ext4 and alter nano so that it automounted with nofail. Then I created a steam library on it and began to install games onto it (most of the Yakuza titles, Sonic Frontiers, etc.)
   
   It works fine and I don't see it since it's on the backside of the dock. I'm probably going to add another since I want enough space for all those Atelier games.
   In the meantime I'm finally going to play Sonic Frontiers and clear Yakuza 0.

     @Lumeinshin I recently came across this on amazon which has some sd card readers built right in. I'm probably going to set up another sandisk usb sdxc reader + card and then get this dock so I can add another two more cards to it for a grand total of 4 external sdxcs.
     
     The tutorial doesn't tell you that you can leave nano by pressing ctrl + x after being prompted to save. That's something I learned in the process of getting used to linux (and I have a long way to go).

     @heavens_feel how does it handle hot swapping sd cards? isnt there some risk of corrupting them? I cant remember whether savedata is kept on the local storage, I think its also SD so theres some risk there right?

     @Lumeinshin What I just read indicates that you should unmount the cards before trying to physically remove them.
