I don't often comment on videos, but when I do, it has a reason.
As a person who often has to rely on support videos I must say dear Mystic this video should be promoted by Sony as the official way on how to install this SSD. The instuctions are cystal clear from A until Z. From the simple "tug the left corner to remove the lid", to, "insert the SSD under a slight angle and push in gently until you hear a click". Even in the end, where you say, line up the 3 tabs and then push close on the left corner. Then you also follow up with, when you power the console on, it will show to format the SSD.
What i'm trying to say is, in comparison to sometimes other videos, you absolutely leave 0 blind spots in your instruction video. Therefore my biggest thanks in this.

So many videos with the one panel bottom, you're the only one i found with the two panel instructions. Thanks dude!

Got my PS5 Slim on Friday and installed everything based on a previous video with the stand part and now this with the 1TB storage. Very helpful and straightforward. ❤ Happy Dragon New Years of 2024!

Perfect video. Straight to the point, no big introductions, no telling me to Like and Subscribe, and there was a kitty!

So I just got a 4 TB SSD with heat sink from game stop for like 269 and had to watch this video on how to install it. And if im not mistaken it was this exact video that was recommended by the employee there. It was exactly as he described. Very short, very clear instructions and very helpful. Thank you so much. I've been worried about doing this myself because I didn't want to break my console but you showed me how easy it was. Honestly the hardest part was finding the screwdriver because I'm in a hotel lol

Hearing the thud/click sound was exactly the same sound when I install the ssd. I watch a different video on how to install, but never heard the thud/click sound. Glad I found this video. Gave me some reassurance that I install mine correctly.

I might get one soon, or wait for a PS5 Pro if that even exists. The world of playstation and nintendo is my ❤

Best thing about a new hardware release are the mystic uploads.

Finally got a PS5 and I am in the market to upgrade the drive. Thanks for this video

[Henkibojj]

I would be surprised if any other channel gets this amount of quality in a video this short.

When I bought my 2tb M.2 earlier this year I bought it direct from Crucial and they were not only doing the SSD on sale but you could add the heatsink for just 1p and postage was free, despite it coming from another country (Poland or Czech republic I think).
Was a much better deal than buying it from Amazon.

I love how the video is all calm and then the panel is so loud

[riccardosantisi]

Ah Melissa with a brief appearance on checking if the work is done properly☺️🥰😻

[davidswisa]

Thanks for making this video. Easy to understand, and straight to the point!

[lemonlime]

Awesome video 🔥 2TB drives are getting cheap now, under $100!

[AbdAlWadood]

Awesome instructions. I wasn’t sure where the slot was on the ps slim until I saw this video

[Azucar]

Love to see that Melissa is watching so you get it right :'D

[Aperez]

Looks easier to setup on the Slim since you only take off the top back instead of the entire back. This will make it better for most people installing an SSD for the first time or going through another round for a transfer or upgrade.

[Azmodaeus]

Installing the m2 on my OG PS5 was easy. I did it straight away (as as my nvme came through which was 2 weeks ago).

[yannduwooz]

Very clear and easy to install. Thank you for the tutorial👌
