The Ultimate PS5 Upgrade: Installing a 4TB SSD

This is how I upgraded my PS5’s internal storage with a 4TB SSD. Was it worth it? Here’s how to install an M.2 SSD into the PS5, what specs you need to meet, which is the best SSD drive for the PS5 and what the load times are like. Installing the Corsair MP600 PRO LPX M.2 SSD (4TB).

Drop a like if you think 4TB is overkill 😅

“Leaves me just under 2TB of available space—that’s just enough for this years call of duty” 🤣

I don't even have PS5, and I just watched the whole video, your videos are so well done man. I really enjoy your content. You inspire me with your attention to details. All the best

It's cool to know that the PS5 can support 4TB SSDs, but their current prices are more than the PS5. 2TB is definitely good enough for me and is well priced for me. I have a personal law that says "don't spend more money on an upgrade than you have spent on that device"

[Tedi]

I got a 4T for the same reasons as you; I would only recommend it to avid gamers and people who can obviously afford it as it's probably worth long term. But 2T is definitely a great sweet spot.
Good video, mate!

The price difference between SSDs with or without preinstalled heatsinks is barely over tenner now, so the savings from buying the heatsink separately are not as significant as they used to be.

[MXALOVE]

To be fair, you could use your external drive as cold storage, so redownloading games would be more than a fraction of the time it takes to redownload, might only take just a couple of minutes. However if you really want all your games ready to play, then who can stop you

PS5 Upgrade 💙
I installed a 1TB SSD to my PS5 a few months ago, and it’s been great! I think 1-2 TB is the sweet spot for most people.

I FINALLY got my hand on a Ps5 two weeks ago. Now I'm saving up to buy a Seagate Fire Cuda 4TB with heat sink for it. To be honest, I prefer to have all the games on the SSd rather than transfer or delete it. Thanks for the presentation, I feel more comfortable investing the money to future proof games required space 👌.

Got a hold of a 2tb model, costs me the same as the PS5.

The messed up part is that even if I bought another PS5 with that money instead, I would have ended up with less memory overall

Found your channel about a year ago and every time I see a new one I have to watch. The info given and the presentation is top notch. Easily one of my favorite channels for gaming and tech. Keep up the great content.

[bekeener]

Just bought the 4TB for the same reason you did. You should definitely keep making these type of videos!! 💙

[TheWMDR]

Got a 2TB SSD for my PS5, I think that’s the sweet spot for me I don’t think I’d ever over use more then what I currently got but can’t go wrong with 4TB either little over kill but hey whatever makes you happy

[browniemach]

It’s only overkill if you don’t fill it up! 😂. Sweet video. Inspiration right here. Keep it going mate! 🔥🔥🔥

[tatedeis]

Definitely would go for the maximum amount of storage and would also have an external hard drive for PS4 games.

[Adrian]

5:30 that joke caught me so off guard 🤣😂 great chuckle for a sold one liner

[mitchellberndt]

Just upgraded mine to 4tb and I am happy I upgraded for someone who enjoys sports games and cod. Got sick of deleting and reinstalling. 4tb is enough for your average gamer but will be saving up for 8tb will never have to delete games again lol

[RyanJUK-zlms]

I’ve got 900mb broadband can download big games within 30 minutes and still would opt for 2 or 4tb drive. Great video, its cool to see how your ps5 has changed throughout the past year or so some great upgrades. Brilliant videos. 👍🏻

[ChristopherBernard]

I upgraded to 1 TB Samsung 980 pro. I love it! I also had a Seagate expansion external hard drive for all ps4 games. I may upgrade to 2 TB when it become little more affordable. PS5 Upgrade 💙

[TopHatCat]

I got myself a 1TB m.2 drive for my PS5 since it was the most I could afford, but I also own a 5TB external HDD for my PS4 library. I don't think I'll be upgrading the storage in my console for a couple of years, not until a 4TB ssd is more affordable.
