False. Only the least expensive model has eMMC for the built-in storage. The other models have replaceable (upgradable) NVMe SSDs.
Lol, wooosh. A disc drive is an optical drive like a Blu-ray, DVD, or cd drive. Go ahead,show me the built in disc drive on a steam deck and not a USB connected one.
Maybe this is an age thing? Not a lot of hardware comes with an optical drive anymore.
I haven't bought a game on optical media since 2003, that being Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Likewise... I haven't bought a game on optical media since the Wii.
Hm... I've never bought PC software on a disc...!?
And yet I have all these old Windows & Office & game discs... Man, hoarding tech is a weird habit.
Wait, do you guys still use optical disc drives on pc? What year is it? 2000?
100%, my personal PC has one, and my HTPC does too.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?
Also, HDD are hard disc drives, so technically hard drives can be disc drives too, that's why the replier misunderstood you.
Yes HDD are disc based tech, yet I've never heard them refered to as just a disc drive without the hard despite having a platter disc in them. While not being the end all be all, wikipedia has disk or disc drives listed as referring to purely optical media.
And I use them to access a plethora of media from old back ups/family pictures, DVDs/Blu-ray, backing up said DVD/Blu-ray to Plex if I like them that much I want them digitally, old games(my oldest still useable disc is my 1998 minted "GOTY" Diablo 1.) Also just never hurts to have the ability to burn a CD or DVD either, though mainly still get the use out of CD burning for cars without an aux.
Man, I hear "disc drive" & I think "hard disc drive". I've connected optical drives when USB boot wasn't supported, but the last time I voluntarily used a disc drive was to test an M-Data disc burned to silicon. But yeah, none of these new devices have a HDD or optical (or floppy disk, for that matter).
Oh, I obviously interpreted that as meaning a hard disk drive (which SSDs are still commonly referred to as HDDs) since we were discussing modern PCs. Many years ago external physical file transfer mostly transitied away from using actual spinning disks to USB storage, and even that has been mostly supplanted by network connected storage for several years.
Those are not discs.
