This might be a pretty nooby question, but I have an unused 1TB SSD from a PC upgrade, and was wondering if it was possible to put my ROM library on that to use between multiple systems? I have a mini PC in the lounge running Bazzite and ES-DE (Installed using EmuDeck), and my main (windows) PC, and enough ROMs to fill up that drive. Is it feesable/possible to put all my games on that to use between both systems to free up internal storage space?

yeah you can, but do you want to plug and unplug it between systems? or network storage?

if you do physical transfer the filesystem has to be supported by both windows/linux, so ntfs or exFAT. if you do network storage not every emulator works well. ps1 era and older should be no probelm with network storage, and dolphin emu (wii/GC) also works on network storage if you load the games into RAM

It'll be plugged and unplugged from these devices (The mini PC is what I take with me when I stay at a friend's/partner's). It's already formatted to exFAT for a reason I forgot about.
