The problem is the read-write speeds are limited by what the steam deck SD card slot can actually process and send back. As long as your car meets the minimum spec, which I believe is 104, but I could never get confirmation if it has the proprietary extensions to go 120 to 170mb/s.
Steam Deck microSD cards use ext4 with casefolding - Steam Deck formats SD cards to the proper format. format the SD card as a ext4 format. Then you need to copy the steamapps folder from your pc library to the card. All of your game will be in your subfolder named common so unselect the ones you don't want.

The external drive is pretty small and with a short cord so I could probably tape it to the back of the deck. The power draw will probably shorten the use of the deck by somewhat.
