How To Upgrade Your PS5 With A Fast M.2 SSD

This video was produced with the sponsorship of Samsung for me to show you how easy it is to install a M.2 SSD, like their 980 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD with Heatsink, into a PS5.

-The compatibility verification of PlayStation 5 and 980 PRO is based on Samsung's internal testing only and is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by Sony
-In order to use the 980 PRO installed in m.2 slot, the latest S/W provided by Sony must be installed

Well, I just took the leap and purchased the PS5, I was told to upgrade the SSD because I was going to run through the memory very quickly, I saw this video and hell yes, I just ordered this from Amazon, It was $399.99 and after I used all my rewards that Ive been saving I ended paying out of pocket $38.19. I saw this video since im not computer or game savvy but I saw how to install, It was a 10min install once everything was done. Glad these video's are out there for people like me that doesn't know much about electronics. Im now a subscriber and I'll be watching more videos to see what else I can learn. Thanks...

Apart from my shock at the price of this product, I really found this video very helpful, this guy literally explained everything perfectly. 👏🏼

[pohlution]

I was like “ok this might be a good thing to get” then I saw the price and carried on 😂

By far the best ps5 ssd installation video. Love the zoom in’s when you remove the screws and washer.

Picked up a 2tb 980 pro for $100 bucks, followed your tutorial, moved 287gb in 4 minutes!! 💪🏾😤💪🏾

Well done on this video! Certainly one of the best end to end explanations of how to expand your PS5 system storage. Thanks!

Thank u so much for showing me how to install. I'm 42 and don't know a thing about adding "equipment" to game systems. You made it very simple and smooth.
I recently purchased a WD-Black 1tb and am very happy.
Thanks again

Hey soldier, just in case you didn’t know, tha 980 pro needs a firmware update which is available now so you can get the full speed, around 6500mbps on the ps5 👍

Bro you are a life saver!! I just got mine and installed. The only thing the covers is a little rough and I broke the the cover

[markgilperez]

Great job, man! You gave the best instructions of removing the case off. Great video!

I got the non-heatsink version, but got the Sebrent ps5 designed heatsink. Reason being, most heatsinks are not designed with the ps5 cooling method in mind, which doesn't cool with air flow across the top of the drive where the heatsink is. The Sabrent heatsink takes the place of the top cover with the heatsink part still attaching to the drive. In theory this takes better advantage of the ps5 cooling method.

If I buy a friend one of these, they're going to give me more than a hug.

Hopefully companies make more 4TB and a drop in price of the current 4TB ones.

Thanks for explaining how to take the cover off... other videos I watched make it look like they broke a piece and I definitely don't want to break anything on this. Great video!

I'm waiting for Black Friday deals. I don't understand why Sony thought 825GB storage is right. 1TB would be reasonable even though it's not enough.

[nathancronk]

I went with the 1TB version. Thank you for this video 👏🏼

[DREXL]

Great video, I see why they sent you their product, congratulations man
