Before cracking the case and doing surgery try running it with a microSD card first. ~40 USD for a good 512GB micro SD card provides sufficient performance for many games. Lastly, remember to remove the micro SD card before opening the case otherwise you will snap the SD card.

I agree. I have the 64gb with a 512 SD card in it, and it was totally sufficient for over a year. In the last month I also upgraded the internal drive, and that's another nice performance improvement, but it was still a great experience before that.

They make 512GB microSD cards now? This really is the future.

They (SanDisk, etc) currently make and sell 1TB microsd cards. 2TB ones are supposed to enter production late this year / early next.
