Thank for showing us the actual size of the free space we get. Almost everyone else I’ve watched never bothered showing or checking it out so this helps a bit more for me.

The install of the M.2 was super easy thanks to this video! The rest was the same as the PS5 OG.

Wow thanks for showing us the whole process it really helps I found out what I wanted to know from this video 👌🏽🙏🏽

One of the easiest SSD installations ever.

been wanting to upgrade the space on ps5 as 1TB ain't enough, thanks for the video

Best & most simple ssd video

Thank you, I liked your video, the most important question I had is if I need to set up again my again, but I can see I don't need. Blessings bro

As long as you ps5 is on the same account and it’s converted to your primary system it makes sense the SSD extension would still let you play the games. Works the same if you have a external ssd with steam

Looks like a super easy install for the M.2 drive, thanks! Still running a PS4 slim right now but likely will grab the PS5 slim this month. Looking at adding the Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 1TB hard drive since it's gotten great reviews and is reasonably priced. I could also plug my existing 2TB external USB mechanical hard drive into the back as cannon fodder LOL. I was not impressed with the PS Plus price increase a couple of months back and will unfortunately downgrade my membership during the upcoming Black Friday sales when my Premium membership expires.

Yep true

You should try install a budget SSD with lower read/write speed than recommended,

Oh nice. Ive been wondering if we would have to format it again when we add it to the slim. So nothing got deleted from your ssd when you added it to the new slim?

So a regular Phillips would work first screw and inside screw?

Looking at getting one for the kids. Should I spend the $50 more to get to fake 1T or save the money and use it for the SSD? Thanks

I deleted astro lol, bruh im getting sold on the slim version after watchin this. But still might get og soon instead. Also, you dont hv to utilize the cloud if you dont want to for saves?

I'm a computer nerd, so forgive me if I say something that people don't understand... This video answered the one question I couldn't find an answer of after a lot of Googling: How does the PS5 handle the M.2 SSD? A) Does it use the drive in RAID with the internal drive? (internal drive + SSD = seen as a single drive.) B) Does it read it as a second drive, showing 2 separate drives. I was expecting A, but it turns out to be B. Interesting, but not bad.

Quick question, is this the same size ssd space as the regular PS5?

Does Sabrent heatsink fits with the slim?

Question: should I add the SSD before or after the setup? Or it doesn't matter? Tomorrow I will get my PS5 Slim.

I saw another video that said you want to setup BEFORE changing storage. 🫡

Does anyone know if you can install an internal ssd upgrade AND use an external usb ssd at the same time? None of the videos seem to cover this question.

Do you have to unplug everything? Then out the sd card?

Do you have any idea why the 2TB version of this won't work in a slim? Tried in two different slims, won't work. (SN850X Game Drive+Heatsink) Transferred everything onto it, traded my original, installed in the slim and nothing. Does not even REGISTER anything being in there. So I can't even reformat if I wanted too. I returned the slim and reinstalled into new one, same thing. Sooo... Any ideas, I'd appreciate. I mean, if it suddenly died on me less than 3 hours hours after I traded in, I mean...I don't know how to test it.

Anyone know if I can install a compatible ssd on a brand new ps5 without doing the initial set up of the system? or should I set up the ps5, update, etc and THEN install the ssd?

I’m trying to update call of duty but it saying it’s not enough space it’s saying to free up space ? The game came with the PS5 how do I keep updating the game

Taking off the side plates on the slim are night and day compared to the OG ps5

Feel like I’m going to break the plates on the original, was a stupid design if they intended for the plates to come off.

I have the wd sn850x heatsink ssd I got it on sale on amazon and it says it ps5 compatible. I’ve seen it too in other videos I’ve probably attempted to. Install it and reinstall it like 15x already I’ve put the washer correctly and all maybe it’s the screw idk if I’m over tightening it but I’m sure I’m not I do it until it’s solid enough and also I put in at the angle and insert still nothing comes up with the ssd , I’ve done with the og model and the recent slim still to no avail , Any suggestions?

​@@Marcthegeek This is the main reason I'm gonna get a 2TB WD SSD instead of an external hard drive because you don't need to transfer PS5 games from device to storage when you use an SSD. Main culprit for taking up space is COD, 200+ GB.

It's like when your 300 lb Aunt goes on weight loss for a week and says she's slimmed down. That's the PS5 slim basically

Hi! I have tried to install this same SSD, but no matter the angle I push, it never makes that click that keeps the SSD up. I have tried over 20 times and the PS5 never recognizes it. Perhaps there’s an issue with my unit or is there a trick to it?
