Could my SD Card be going bad, or could my Switch be?
``` KDiskMark (3.1.2): https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark
- Newly cloned SSD extremely slow on Linux

If your games are underperforming or stuttering, this may be the problem, at least it was for me.
I'd recommend doing a speedtest on your MicroSD using https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.1.2 just to be sure your card is genuine and performing to spec.

Weird download speed issue
But the theoretical write speeds definitely do not apply when it comes to the steam deck, you have an adequate card but I advise you do a speed test in desktop mode using https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.1.2 to double check the actual speed you're getting, it'll likely equate to no more than 80mb/s write which is most definitely not enough to handle download speeds of 70MB/s considering steam unpacks as it downloads.

New to Steam Deck (and PC as well as Steam in general). I have a multitude of questions…
Since owners of this MicroSD card are few and far between, would you mind testing its speed and performance for me, using KDiskMark? You can download the program from here: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.1.2

PSA: A MicroSD card guide that seems to be sorely needed
Hopefully that provides an insight into why 'U3 A2 UHS-I' is the ideal card you should be looking for with the deck. I would always recommend when you purchase a new card that you run 'Kdiskmark' in desktop mode by downloading it from here: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases Check the latest release and download the file ending in 'appimage'. From here open the folder it downloaded to, (don't open it from Firefox as it won't know what to do with the file) double click the file and should open the Kdiskmark window. From here you can select your MicroSD card and do a speed test to make sure you are hitting the advertised speeds!

After weeks of frustration and headaches with download speeds I found a solution
I'd recommend you download kdiskmark from here: https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases/tag/3.0.0 (Download the one ending in appimage as it doesn't need an install)

Why is downloading and verification so slow with my SD card?
Try testing your speeds with kdiskmark
