Tbh we don't get these SSDs since I'm not from the west so I ordered it from the US, the SN850P was cheaper so I got it, I didn't even realize it was worse, the SN850 is like 400$-500$ in here so the 150$ after discount for the SN850P was tempting, kinda glad I didn't get scammed lol

Ya know I am beginning to think there is a power supply problem, specifically in the digital version, and in relation to a external storage, I’ve battled 2 other ps5’s with a plethora of errors, and they both had externals, I went to the internal on both and just like magic no more errors, I think they used one that barley manages power output to the console peripherals and GPU, and something like a external drains just enough to slowly erode at the system and it’s performance, I may just be building that conspiracy in my head, I haven’t looked at any curves, but it does make sense, I see a lot of posts on Reddit and such related to externals, and I’m leaning towards this being the culprit, I’d love to know your thoughts on it

I thought it was going to be hard but at first the top was hard to take off then after that was off the process was easy thank you 😊

One thing I noticed is that the SSD is located near the Optical drive, so that's another way to locate the correct panel to remove. Note: Digital most likely doesn't have the Optical Drive cut out (I presume)

you do have to put alittle pressure but like he said in this video push up and slide back

I just got it I’m stoked

That "you should hear and feel a click" part can cause some serious confusion for people with paranoia and OCD. It's just SSD hitting the back end of the connector with momentum, as there should be nothing that actually latches onto SSD. Huge amount of people been saying they never hear this "click" and official Sony guide never mentions about it.

I find it very hard to take the panel off the PS5 and I accidentally scratched the black plastic and so I need to know how to take it off without scratching the black plastic that's in there and I know how to take the panel off but it feels stiff and so it's hard to take it off without scratching the plastic section aswell

My ps5 doesn't have the solid piece shell. It's bisected in the middle. Is the install different?

On Amazon I saw that there was a ssd panel that was being sold it had vents that would provide airflow the reviews are good but I want to see if anyone recommends I get it

Is there any real major differences between the X and the P other than 300mb/s. Like what makes the P better than the X?

I lost the circle metal piece… is that going to be an issue

Is the PlayStation portal compatible with the M.2 SSD? Because the portal doesn't work with etanded storage so I'm just wondering.

How many games can you download? because my Hitman 3 won't download I'm using Game Drive 2TB for now, until I get SSD soon but on my Game Drive box says 30+ PS5 games in one 2TB drive and Store PS5 & PS4 games, plus play PS4 from the USB drive I'm kinda new at PS5 I used to be a Xbox person when I was young

Can you use them in a normal desktop PC? I would get the SN850X, but you sadly don't make the 4 TB one available in a version with a heatsink so the 4 TB SN850P interests me a lot.
