Hey guys! Is it safe to format a new sd card on the deck now? I’ve read a few things in here from last year saying sometimes it can brick them, has there been any updates which means I can do it now? Thanks guys!

      Nor will you because Windows does not recognize the EXT-4 file system.

    I’ve formatted 3 through the settings menu in gaming mode with no issues

    If it doesn’t format or something goes wrong? It’s because the card is bad. The steam deck is a lot more critical of a format than Windows is. If there’s a problem with the format? There’s a problem with the card. And you’re lucky that valve caught it before you actually lost data on it lol
