Trouble Adding USB Drive to Bazzite (Steam)

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 20:51:50 +0000

I’m trying to add a SATA SSD in a UGREEN USB external enclosure but having difficulties….

No matter what I try, when I go to Storage in Bazzite’s Steam Big Picture mode, I see the drive but it just says I need to format it. I can format it and it stays the same, asking me to format.

I tried going into the desktop mode, formatting, even mounting the drive to /var/mnt/steamlibrary (create a new directory, and mount it in the Disk util). But still it just says I need to format the disk before using it when in big picture mode.

I picked up a BC250 card - it’s basically a PS5 that lost a couple of cores and so had a life destined to be a crypto miner.

It’s actually possible to game on these things!
