Finally decided I think I am going to get a Steam Deck. Decided to look at upgrading the hard drive, it is a little more compacted than I thought it would be. For those who have swapped, was it easy enough?

Yes, well worth it.
I see all the important tips in the comments apart from doing it with a discharged battery.
I had no issues when I did mine.
Seeing the discharged battery bit in the ifixit video is what gave me pause.
It’s a precaution. If you were to damage the exposed battery it could cause it to heat up and probably catch fire.
You do no want a lithium battery fire in your house.
If you’re going to do it make sure you have enough time to do it all in one go so you don’t have to leave the back off.
It’s not a long task, I think setting the blank drive up afterwards took longer than the actual drive swap
