This 61TB homebrew hack nukes the Steam Deck's storage 'problem' from orbit

Valve Steam Deck in use while sat outdoors.

Following news that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 requires about 65 dodectillion petabytes of storage space for a full install (actually 213GB for the full visual experience), comes this rather well endowed Steam Deck with a 61TB upgrade and the exciting prospect of being able to have more than one Triple-A space installed at the same time.

The biggest factory-spec Deck you can buy from Valve is the 512GB model, which in theory could limit you to a single game install on the basis of that ludicrous 213GB CoD install and the idea that you'll need some space for the OS and a few other bits and pieces. Of course, not all games are as demanding as that. And, realistically, you're not going to go with the "high-rez assets cache" that demands 64GB on a Deck.
