Thankyou... the new anti-dislike button really makes it hard to know if tutorials are decent or otherwise. Yours was short and sweet. Many thanks

But you MISSED a big part of this, can games RUN straight from the external storage? Or will they re-download back to console storage to run??

[angelogonzales]

Simple explanation makes a great video 👌

[MrLoverman]

Very simple and to the point but I have a question it may seem like a dumb one but Google couldn't necessarily give me an answer when you download games onto the m. To storage you can play them directly from the storage right?

[GhOsTGR]

Any conflicts with saves ? All supported normal ? The point is to expand the life of internal-base nvme because it's not replaceable. So the saves are the most writing files in there and is best to can be transferred also. But this not possible yet and maybe will never be.

Does the m.2 load games much faster then the ps5 already integrated SSD or not much difference at all and unnoticeable?

I have an lexar nm790 ssd 4tb i only have call of duty and 2k on my ssd and it makes my ps5 move slow but i move it back to console storage it works

[stephenedmondson]

Great guide, straight to the point, easy to follow. Thank you!

If you're moving the games, is it necessary to move the saved data too in order to play the games that were moved in the ssd, to continue were you left off of any of the games moved? I'm confused

[cloudyshiesty]

Thanks I jus installed a GameStop 2 tb ssd and didn’t know how to download my games on it thanks bro very helpful 👍

Can I default the expansion m.2 for saves and profiles etc? So in the case of a console replacement i can just install the external m 2 on new console and be up and running instantly

[angelpagan]

If I get the ssd hard drive am I do I have to move them back to my ps5 storage to play them?

[Seansworldd]

When you’re moving games around I assume save data and everything is kept right? Silly question but I’ve never had an SSD or an external hard drive

all information about this within 3 minutes. genius

[euripidesrios]

Thank you buddy you explained it perfectly! 😊

Spot on! i have just installed an internal SSD, and was wondering how to move the installed games on the console storage to the new M.2 Storage. Your tutorial solved my issue quickly, and also gave an additional useful tip (i.e., takes longer to move an installed game from the M.2 to the Console Storage).

[frankkernan]

I still have games showing up on console storage taking up space after I’ve supposedly moved them.

[Barcenova_]

Can I play games from my SSD M.2? Or do you they have to transferred to the console storage in order to play?

[jjaammeess]

Getting to the point of increasing the internal drive on my ps5. So am I right in what I'm seeing / assuming - when you add a new drive it's not as though you're pulling out a 1TB console drive and replacing it with a new one and would have to do all sorts of transferring beforehand????

So if I add a 2TB drive into the slot, I'm essentially getting 3TB of console storage?

[Marcaveli]

Is it best to have your installation location for ps5 and ps4 games m2 ssd card ???
