Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?

I have a 512. I've heard it's still worth it to upgrade, but I can load dozens of games with no issue and it's less effort. If I have a large game I want to play (100gb+) I'll probably upgrade.

Same. I have many installed games and play a couple of them at most at a time. I travel a lot and connection isn't always guaranteed so I bought a large SD card to offload games I may want to keep with me, I ended up barely using it.

Same. I installed a bunch of games from my backlog, including a few big ones, but I still have more than 100GB left, both on internal and SD card. You're fine as long as you uninstall the ones you're done with for the time being. Just uh, check if Steam Cloud works for the saves, Dark Souls games for instance say it works but it doesn't. Then again, maybe OP has a 64GB, in which case, he probably should.

Definitely buy an SD card though, it's a quick upgrade.
