The official PlayStation video didn't go into detail about taking the cover off - yours was much better and made me feel more comfortable doing it for the first time. Thank you!
Just got it for $189.00 can't wait but do you need to update it first to get them speeds or does it come updated out of the box I heard you need to update first before installing into ps5 to get them speeds?
@@davidleroy8382 I just bought mine and it came with the latest software I think. I watched some videos and my speed it the speed shown after the update. Besides I don't have a PC to slot this drive into so it's all I'm getting
Had a bit of trouble with the case but never opened before so once that was done this guide really helped and now successfully installed and formatted. Thank you again
Came bk to leave you a review I installed 2tb ssd samsung pro 980 yesterday after watching your video I took the plunge and installed it great video by the way easy to understand many thanks Gayle
thanks for the video!!! Followed the instructions and my read speed is a whopping 6476.96 MB/s !!! One thing to note, I plugged the drive into my PC first before doing all this so that I was able to upgrade the firmware. I read online that if you do that then you could gain better performance from the changes. Anyway i'm pleased with the speeds and read for Elden Ring release this friday!
Great video, made it seem easy. I’ve only had my PS5 for about a month and once I got it I knew I would need more memory. Did my research on the SSD and you made it very simple to install. Thank you for the great vid
@@xouzourisgr I mean that’s what I’ve read and seen on RUclips, but I don’t have a pc that’s why I wanted to know if it works well without updating it. If u can update the firmware I think that would be better
@@xnonsz_4865 I don't have a pc either so I just installed it to my console. I got reading speeds up to 6.515MB/s and writing speeds up to 4.800MB/s So I think it works fine even without the up date!
Thank You a lot. I got scared for moment because it wouldn't stay flat until I screw it and stayed flat. I was praying for it to work because I don't like to open up things, but it is working for me. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Make sure when installing you do it just like he did. Don’t leave it against the console and try to push forward cuz it will break your stick by applying too much pressure or maybe even your console. If you feel for the opening a little bit up and let it slide in you’ll be all good.
Bought the Samsung 980 pro with heatsink with 2 TB. Thought about 1 TB, but decided to get a larger storage. You will not regret it. Easy to install in my PS5. Prefer it to the external hard drive.
My wife had some online credit and best buy had a online sale where the 2TB 980 pro was 160 online but 300 in store. We used online credit and ordered it to pick up at local store that hours ago tried to charge me 300 where I ended up paying 25 bucks and change. Sweet
Incredible instructions, I just couldn't remove the smaller screw. I just installed it & put the cover back on, hopefully home depot has the screw set/ size I'll just buy another set......
@@TomasVillegas The hardest part was getting the lid back on to hear that "click" - but I rewinded your video several times and didn't use too much force and after I think the 10th try I heard that click. :)
thank u very much for the video, it was very well informative especially the grounding part, no other videos about installing an ssd to a ps5 have that and it was very helpful.
im literally doing this exact thing and it doesnt work. it did work but then it stopped and the screw head was stripped and now it wont read after getting replacement screws
It's easier to have the PS5 facing the opposite direction, with the fan to your left, because the cover plate slides off easier when applying pressure from the upper left corner towards yourself. Also, the SSD expansion port will be right there at the bottom close to you.
For some reason, my PS' slot doesn't have the green bottom where you can slide the small bit into. Is this a production fault, or is this something from like an updated version?
The newer versions of the PS5 s are a bit different to these ones. . Getting the spacer in is a bit of a struggle as they don’t fit in the hole just sit on top and getting it still and putting the small screw in is a bit fiddly. Managed it in the end.
Question. At 2:18. So my saved data within my ps5 console will be overwritten? Or that’s just the new internal drive itself? This is my first time getting one.
I think your original data, should still be there. Cos this guy's ( who did this video), his stuff was still there when the SSD was formatting. Plus it's a separate storage unit to the original storage that comes with the game.
Hey, so when I inserted my SSD into the slot, it wasn’t exactly laying flat after I pushed it in to the slot, it was kinda sticking upwards a bit. I put the screw on Anyway, but I wanted to see if you could let me know if that’s something I should go back and fix
Every reddit I have read you should put thermal pads on this even if it has a heatsink built in. Because the back is raw up against the motherboard itself. I did. Just a thought. 🤔
The 2TB is $180 now on Samsung ➡️ howl.me/cjkFThN5NNM

tips: you can get over 6000 mbps read speed (06:41 says you'll get 5500 mbps), if you update your SSD firmware before. works on me
Wtf i got to update my ssd just to get the full read speeds? Pls answer quick so i can cancel my order from best buy
Excellent video. I watched a few and this was by far the easiest to follow. Thank you
Appreciate the feedback. Thank you and thanks for watching 🤝

It's pretty easy 👍
I love how they just switched the spacer to a whole different spot
Picked up on Amazon the 2tb with heat sink for 100 dollars during prime day 😍😍

Do we still need to update the ssd to the newest firmware update? did they not had problems with a older firmware version witch reduces its lifespam?
Hey I have a question. My ps5 don’t have the green back when I open to install my drive
Can you please tell me where to get the screw for the Expansion Cover for the PlayStation 5 ?

Super simple and I was able to install. Super awesome !!!!
Great to hear!
im literally doing this exact thing and it doesnt work. it did work but then it stopped and the screw head was stripped and now it wont read after getting replacement screws
Why the read speed is so low? Isn't it supposed to be higher with this particular SSD?
Idk why but it doesn’t look like it fits when I try putting it in
Thank you for making this video.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.
Can we use this product at laptops? If so, how does it fit with Heatsink? To fit should we remove the heatsink?
Just buy a regular NVMe drive and you’ll be fine 👍
It's easier to have the PS5 facing the opposite direction, with the fan to your left, because the cover plate slides off easier when applying pressure from the upper left corner towards yourself. Also, the SSD expansion port will be right there at the bottom close to you.

I picked up a 2tb 980 PRO with heat sink today at best buy for $149.00
Fot the inner screw i could not open it with ph1 screwdriver and used ph0 instead.
What about the 990 pro? I just bought this but no 90 slot
For some reason, my PS' slot doesn't have the green bottom where you can slide the small bit into. Is this a production fault, or is this something from like an updated version?

What do you think about the Corsair mp 3600 lax ssd
Picked up the 980 2TB with heat sink for 139 on Amazon I’m can’t believe it use to be 450$ when this video came out a year ago
Question. At 2:18. So my saved data within my ps5 console will be overwritten? Or that’s just the new internal drive itself? This is my first time getting one.

I did buy the same one and it's amazing fast 🤩
Great video unfortunately the screw that's in the spacer chipped so now I have to wait days to get a different one
That happened to me too. Do you know what size screw I need to replace it? Thanks
Thanks for the help year later and still perfect. I had already ordered my drive or I would of used your link. Ty again.
Appreciate the view 🤝
Would you recommend installing this internal Storage right after purchasing a PS5? Or go through the set up of the System /PSN Account info etc 1st?
I'd set my PS5 up first. 👍
Does it come with the latest firmware or did you update it mine comes this week
Did yours came the latest one or did you update it ?
so do i need to put my games on the new ssd ore does it not mather where u put it?
Do I still need to upgrade to Samsung 980 pro on the computer first then put in in ps5?
what is the height? or thickness? I wonder if it would fit underneath my GPU: ASUS TUF 7800XT in my computer.
Spec sheet has all that info for you.
Great video! Had my eye on this ssd for a while. But I don’t have a Pc to update it, is it still gonna work if I don’t update the firmware?
I haven’t updated it. It works just fine.
@@TomasVillegas thank you brother!
Ive tried for the last 2 hours to get my 980 pro to fit in the slot and it barely doesn't fit by the screw. Any suggestions?
I was lucky enough to catch the 2TB SSD on sale for $250. The hardest part about installing it was getting the cover off.
The PS5 cover is a pain in the buttocks. 😂
Any real noticeable difference vs stock or the firecuda?
Ok, do i gotta do anything before removing cover, have installed 3 games
Every reddit I have read you should put thermal pads on this even if it has a heatsink built in. Because the back is raw up against the motherboard itself. I did. Just a thought. 🤔
Can you do this with the 990 with heatsink when it comes out
