I didn’t know it was so simple to install these. I need to get one, it’s so frustrating deleting and moving games constantly

[Alex-Ander]

great video, i thought i'd never get an SSD since I thought I'd damage my PS5; followed this guide, installed my 2TB SSD and plugged my ps5 back in within 10 minutes, ty WD_BLACK

Thank you for this! I was so nervous I was going to somehow damage my console but you made it easy to follow.

Bro, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this, I put a 2tb in my digital ps5 but my drive ps5 cover wouldn’t budge, I was so scared I was going to break but this video, showed me the right angle 📐 to remove it, ba da boom ba da bing, smooth sailing and just like that they both have 3tb now, awesome stuff thanks a million

I have the 2TB sn850X and get those same speeds. The only difference I see its more expensive due to the PS logo

Thank you for your easy-to-follow vid! I was having trouble installing my SSD in my PS5 and almost gave up. Pushing it in until you hear the "click" sound was not mentioned in any other video I watched, nor was it mentioned when I asked official PS Help. Thanks again, WD!😃

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.

Easy to follow, clear and concise instructions - thank you, it made installation a piece of cake :)

The part that matters: removing the cover, you glossed over too fast. Its the most risky part. "Just lift up and move. No biggy"

[SinisterTarheel]

I just bought one today and followed your steps. Easy as pie. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[lamtsang]

Thank you so much much. I had to watch 2 videos though. I was struggling to take off the lid.

[Hughjass]

Thank you so much. was struggling for hours on how hard or at what angle to insert ssd. Watched your vid and got it immediately

[shawnhardin]

Yup, just bought my 4TB yesterday, so now that I seen this vid Ik how to install. Thanks a lot🙏🏽

[TonyBoutHisMoney]

I had one hard drive fail when I switched systems. Learned the hard way, but I need more memory for my PS5 and this can play PS5 games so I’m sold

[obamaorb]

Very good tutorial! Not needlessly stretched out, concise and to the point.

[clawson]

Just bought the 4tb version for my PS5 Slim. I was switching out a 2tb version. I honestly never heard or felt a click but it seems secure. My PS5 recognized it instantly and needed formatting so i assume its in correctly

[aneymaughan]

Buddy, what screwdriver are you using and what size

[davidhall]

Thank you! So glad I saw this video after trying some terrible other online instructions which almost made me break the cover. Seriously, thank you. Simple, easy, effective. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[AbernathyCrimson]

I have a 1TB SN850X in my PS5, but I plan on getting the 2TB model of this when I run out of space if a better model isn't out. One thing the video doesn't tell you is that the 2TB and 4TB models of this have a 6600MBPS write speed while the 1TB model has a 6300MBPS write speed. The read speed is 7300MBPS on all models.

Thank you for making this. Mine just came in the mail today and I was scared to break it. Literally super easy I appreciate you 🙏🏾
