Top 8 PS5 M.2 SSD - What I Bought And How To Install

I vowed to stick with the PS5's internal storage no matter what, but it was futile. With games going as big as 200GB each, sooner or later you will eventually run out of space. So yeah...I finally upgraded. And in this video I'll share to you what I learned and what I did! Hope it helps!
Some support by subbing and visiting these links would be nice!

    Put the Crucial P5 Plus 2tb in mine. Got it on sale for $161.49 from a recent sale on Amazon. Appears to be faster than the stock internal. No regrets. Also grabbed a 2tb Crucial MX500 SSD and 3.1 adapter for $131.49 for external PS4 games. PS4 games play as fast and sometimes faster off the external ssd.

    9:05, yeah, if only that screw came out so easily. If I ever upgrade to a bigger drive that needs that hole, I can't install it. The screw head is completely stripped, and will not be comign out. I had to order another space with a screw for $10. I'd like to punch whoever tightened that screw down in the face. it was probably a robot though.
