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!

Great video. Simple to follow along, with good comparisons of SSD's. Love how you went through the whole installation from beginning to end. Keep up the good work.
This is such a good video format. No BS, an all in one package that tells you everything you need to know. More people should learn from you this is just what i needed
There should be more people like you that know how to give a review on a product, very informative.
Really good review, thanks. Very smart the way you explained all the information!
I just bought the Corsair 600 Pro LBX 2TB today and installed it. Best M.2 to use in your PS5. It even has PS5 compatible right on the box so no worries.
Great review man. Extremely informative but also well paced and entertaining all the way. Thank you! Definitely subscribing
“If you own a ps5 long enough, you will eventually run out of storage space.” Dude….I ran out of space 2hours after I purchased it 😣
Very informative. Thanks. Sitting on the couch in N.J. waiting for the UPS truck to deliver my PS5 I just bought new off of Ebay.
Thanks for the well informed video!

if you downloading games in under an hour and paying cheaper than the cheapest storage upgrade ill be suprised plus storage upgrade is a 1 time purchase not multiple reacuring pricy internet bill lol
Thank you sir very informative
Wow great video, of all the videos I watched your video is the most concise and well explained. I just got today my ps5 gow ragnarok and planning to upgrade my storage. Will check datablitz too for the corsair ssd. Thanks again!

The Sabrent Rocket heatsink is way ahead of the curve because all others you just put back the aluminum cap, while theirs actually is designed to use the PS5 fan.

Have you seen the ElecGear heatsink? It goes beyond Sabrent’s efforts in a nice way.

@@dj_mi was about to mention this also. 😅 I'm vouching for this heatsink/cover aftermarket solution too.
Here in Brazil, the *Gigabyte Aorus* and the *Seagate Firecuda* are insanely expensive!!! Probably on account of their limited availability in the market over here.
Gracias amigo me ayudaste para ña elección de mi ssd ❤ gracias 👌
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.

I'm using Corsair M600 Pro M.2 SSD
Because of your video, I suddenly consider Corsair MP600. I was sure I'm getting an Aprus 7000s, and Gigabyte already released a new product, 7300 which is faster than 7000s but cheaper...
I purchased the Corsair from your recommendation. I hope it fits. My brother sent me reviews from Amazon and some people have reported the drive doesn’t fit flush in the PS5 disc. Any thoughts?
What Phillip screw size when taking off the screw and spacer and where to fin?
Can you please tell me where to get the screw for the Expansion Cover for the PlayStation 5 ? or please tell me the size of the screw .
What is the type of screwdriver that you use to install ssd in ps5, and how can I get one
Pinoy, you can not deny it😂. Cheeee, 🤙 from Hawaii🇵🇭 #bebotbebot
Hi. Does anyone know the connecting the E1.S DRIVE by M.2 Adapter? Will it work? I have a drive that lies unused and I wonder if there is such a possibility. I would like to use this drive as an internal one.
Saan po ba makakabili ng 4tb?
Wheres the platinum p41 from sk hynix? Its better tha every drive on this list
I got the adata legend 840 for 2.5k
Get one with a built in heat sink
Which gives the *Fastest Read speed inside PS5* & *sustainability* along with the *Highest Endurance* in terms of *TBW (TeraBytesWritten)*

What do you do if you follow all the steps and the playstation doesn’t know the ssd is in there? It just goes right to account selection and in the storage setting it is not listed. I have the firecuda 530

Why move the all of the already stored games to the newly inserted m.2 ssd ? I'm not tech savvy and just bought a ps5 and the Kingston fury renegade 1t

Lots of reasons...organizing games, or the M.2 is faster
Prices are really coming down on SSD.
990 pro or 850p?
what if my xpg ssd won't make my ps5 boot up correctly, is the ssd faulty or just needs a clean format

If your PS5 doesn't boot, maybe the problem lies in the internal SSD because that's where the OS is installed.

@@hungrychad what I meant is it is stuck on ps logo, then it shutsdown, but when I remove my xpg ssd, the boot up has no problem, It will continue on. I don't know what happened on my xpg, it works first, I even moved some games, but then the next day I boot it up, it is now stuck on ps logo

pull it re install and try again
Consoles need to have a minimum of 1tb of storage for games
Your prices are wrong
WD is what I chose, due to Sony backing WD SSD's
You dont need an Heatsink on an PS5 NVME SSD that spec from Sony is simply an joke, the SSD never reaches near the Stress who you would need one... just save the Money and get an SSD without an Heatsink, at least for the PS5
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.
You should of gone bigger than a 1tb I would of gone with a 4 tb. Big mistake you made tbh
Just got a WD black SN850 for 159.99 when also getting a PS5 from Best Buy. Seems like a good deal.
I feel lucky. I picked up #6 for $58 on Amazon. Transfer around 80-100G a minute.
