Just installed a Firecuda 530 today with relative ease thanks to this step by step guide. Didn't expect it to be so seamless. Can't begin to thank you enough for uploading this tutorial
That's great to hear! We hope you enjoy our FireCuda 530.
Did it make ur ps5 ‘s fans running louder ?
Adding the SSD i mean
@@salimel4835 oddly enough it seems to be even quieter than before
@@jimmieweathers just received my seagate 530 1To its a blessing. i wanted the 4gigabite one however the price convinced me otherwise 😂 but from the noise standpoint is still very quiet ! Didn’t change one bit . As long as the SSD is equipped with the heatsink feature you’re good to go .
@@salimel4835 how can i get mines to work i dont even pop up
This guy is doing the Lord's Work....Thank you sir Firecuda 530 will be secured. 🤗
LO L that’s bit of a stretch there. 😂
The Lords work? Grow up
Wow I just bought this and you guys uploaded minutes ago. Nice
FireCuda Voodoo
From where did you get it
@@iungimus try Amazon bought it for about 181 euros
I must thank you for making this first time experience so easy. Never thought it’d be this easy to expand on a PS5. Easy, very understandable and the fact that you was able to demonstrate step by step made the whole thing seem less. Thank you again!
Hey Luis, glad you found this helpful!
Thanks for the straightforward tutorial, it helped with deciding between the options and made installation of the Firecuda 530 painless.
Thank you for your positive feedback!
Super nice tutorial, installed my 530 today and everything went off without a hitch! Thanks Seagate!!
That's great to hear! We hope you enjoy your FireCuda 530!
That's gotta be one of the most detailed yet clear guide on of how to install an SSD into a PS5 out there.
Mine finally arrived today! Very easy to install. Thanks for the vid.
Mine just arrived this morning 🙏 4tb 🔥
Bruh
Yeah he's lying lol

Just got this two days ago and installed it rn within 5 minutes because of this guide. Thank you!
This look more easy than expected. Thanks for the detailed guide.
Glad to hear you found this helpful!
For me it's sticking out a little bit and I am afraid to push it what do I do
It is you only need to take care removing and putting the panel back on as the clips that hold it in place can easily break if you are too forceful
Got a 4TB EK FireCuda 530 puppy on pre order. Yes it costs nearly 2 x PS5s. Don't judge me. I'm a hoarder!
Just received mine today I’m now in the process of formatting it
@@justchilling4491 been told next week. I envy you! Soon ill be in your camp! Enjoy the hoard.
@@phildavis8732 does it have heatsink?
@@DUDULALALALALALA EKWB is the world's #1 watercooling brand and they make the FireCudas heatsink. So yes. Has a heatsink.
@@phildavis8732 alright thanks
I found a recommended list of recommended PS5 SSDs. I considered this one at first sight since the game drive on my PC is also a hybrid Firecuda. Saw the price and about passed out. Well, now it's on sale plus I have a gift card and rewards cash. Glad I waited. My patience will pay off. It's going to be far more affordable and I know how to install it thanks to this video. 😀
how much did you pay and for how much storage?
@@kevinrivera5554 Sorry for the misunderstanding. I just learned about the sale. I will be purchasing it this week. The 1TB is on sale for $209.99 at Best Buy. Still high IMO but with my BB Rewards cash and Xmas gift card it will be less of a blow. I wish the 2TB was on sale. I suspect 1TB might fill up before the end of the year.
@@Cruzan9 2TB is about $400 last i checked on Amazon, 4TB use to be as low as $850 but i think its back to 1K
@@kevinrivera5554 At Best Buy the 2TB is $400 and the 4TB is $960. That's way way out of budget. These NVMe prices hurt so bad. Anyway, I just ordered the 1TB and the price dropped another $10. I ended up paying a few bucks short of $150. I think that's a very good buy.
This is a pure m.2 ssd, not a hybrid.
Just installed this bad boy. Installing PS5 games I had to delete. Thanks Derek
Just got mine in the mail today will be installing 2marrow thank you all vary much
Okay well i am going to try this alot of u have done this an looks easy enough.. Static eletricty. Is what i have been afraid of he said grab any metal object. I am going to grab the ground to my house. That should nulufi any static charge.. On or in me but this has given me the courage.. Cause i have never done any thing like this. The xbox was easy. Thank u sir. And all the rest of u
Installed the ssd. Works like a charm. Had some issues removing the plate. You need to pull diagonally for it to open. Thanks for the video.
The ssd is great!
Bro Ive opened my PS5 like 6 times and still have problems with the faceplates.
Thanks for the tip, I was trying for ten minutes, diagonally did the trick
@@DanaiTheSlowestExile I struggled for 5 minutes before I searched for how to open the plates on RUclips. Understood that I was doing something wrong.
I can’t get the dang thing off lol
Amazing , just ordered it today , for my ps5 , thank you for the installation guide
Just bought one today, i am excited to install it.

Does that come with “a” heat sink ?

how did it go? works?
Thanks just bought one and the guide was useful and clear 👍
Brought it and loved it thanks for the simple to follow instructions
it doesn't go in for me what do I do
Thank you for choosing Seagate!
Just bought and installed followed this video 10/10
Great instructional video, I installed the Firecuda 530 within minutes, easy peasy
That's awesome Johnny! We hope you your new FireCuda 530.
Yo does it allow you to have more ps5 games installed at once ?
Did anyone ever “ground yourself” should I worry about that when putting the sad in my ps5? Should I get an anti static wristband if so where do I clip it?
I have installed a FireCuda 530 2TB but the readspead is only 5.500-5.600MB/s... Is there something wrong? Or why do i don't get even over 6k MB's read?...

What is the difference between Seagate Game Drive M2 SSD PS5 2 TB (Model No: ZP2000GP3A4001) and Seagate FireCuda 530 Heatsink 2 TB (Model No: ZP2000GM30023). Which is the best option to use with PS5? On Seagate website in PS5 tab mentioned only Game Drive M2 SSD. Both of it has similar price. Are they technically the same?

Cool video ;) I got the 4TB one last week :P & it's amazing having all that free space to add all my PS4 & PS5(& Future PS5) games on my PS5 now :P I LÖVE IT!!! :D
That's amazing! We are happy to hear you are enjoying your new FireCuda 530.
I ordered mine and its 4TB can't wait to get it
I bought one ...hoping dayz runs better on ssd....update the 1tb ssd really made a huge difference in dayz on ps5...there is less pop ins and zero lag stutter when aiming down sight ...which is huge and it helps with in put lag
I followed this guide using the 2TB with heatsink. I ran four formats on my PS5 and these are my Read speed results.
1st - 5637.08 MB/s
2nd - 6399.12 MB/s
3rd - 5709.583 MB/s
4th (and current) - 6371.037 MB/s
Is anyone getting better results?!
Got mines today and I have it at 6541.874 mb/s I’m wondering if read speeds stay at the most resent test or does it change even while you’re using it?
@@KingMikey2625 nice! 2TB? No updates and just one format? Huh I wonder why the difference. Also thst is a very good question. I wonder if the FireCude is reading within a particular range then it is just going to be considering "good" in the PS5. While in a PC the Read Speed might be more consistent, idk just guessing.
Hi! Please contact our customer support team on our website: www.seagate.com/contacts/ They will be able to help you directly and answer any specific questions. Thank you.
@@ThisOrThat13 mines a 1TB and it took me multiple reformats for it to read those speeds… and I did no updates… I wonder if a firmware update will be a significant change to MB/s speeds or it’s not really necessary?
@@KingMikey2625 so far you're the 2nd person I found to report 6500 speeds with the 1TB. I found under the Seagate subreddit that someone updated the firmware on the 2TB and the performance was worse. Though that was only one comment. I don't have additional data, or motherboard to help update mine. Looking for an adapter later this week.
I didn’t touch metal before working on this to escape all static on my body, it exploded on me
How could I ground myself at home?
Does anyone know the difference between Seagate FireCuda 530 m.2 ssd ps5 and Seagate game drive m.2 ssd ps5;
The transfer and write speed is slightly faster on the Firecuda than the game drive
@@palindrome1023 Thank you very much!
I'm guessing this is pretty much the same process for the new slim ps5?
Is the heatsink already pre installed?
I want to install it, but I'm not even able to remove the PS5 cover. It doesnt get loose by one bit and rather feels like im breaking something. Yes, the PS logo is on the back, the Power Button on my left hand side, yet it doesn't move a single centimetre... 😢
This video was very helpful
great video very easy to understand and fellow
Thank you Mihalis!
You saved me $200 for installation at a game store
Happy to be of help!
Do we have to update the firmware on the SSD before installing it? Or has it already gotten the latest update if manufactured at lease Jan 2022? Is there any benefit to updating??
This is my question
Getting mine next month
May I have one to try?
This is where on the ps4 swapping drives was better. Not only did I quadruple my storage but when I switched to a hybrid firecuda my speeds also increased. It was a fraction of the cost also. Now you pretty much have to upgrade for any reasonable storage for way more money and no performance increase. Which means you might as well be paying $750 for a ps5. That sucks honestly.
There's a few SSD that greatly improve speeds almost all the way up to bottleneck.
How In Christ do you make it look that easy taking off the cover I feel like I’m gonna break it
If you put one hand in the top corner and the other on the bottom lift and pull with the top hand downward in one motion and pull downward with the bottom hand it comes off no problem. Works for me every time.
because it is your either over thinking it maybe because it isn't hard I will say there are some youtubers that act likes its hard all you do is pull up on the correct corner place the other hand at the back of the console with the hand pulling up on the corner slide back with little force and your done
How do you update the firmware of the firecuda 530?
Did I ever find this out? I don’t want to buy a caddy and don’t have a laptop with a 2nd m.2 slot
Just pulled the trigger on one of these... I'm very hesitant to open up the console but hey I have to do it 🤷♂️
Hey Andrew, we hope you enjoy your new FireCuda 530 with your PS5!
No spacer.
I've had this SSD for a year and a half and I just started getting an error from the ps5 saying it can't access the drive; do you all have any advice for this?
Best guide thx
Interesting statement at the start that not all ssds get upto those speeds. I watched a video where one particular ssd was rated lower than the firecuda and ps5 baked in storage and outperformed the firecuda.
What was this?
My read speed is 5400 how can I upgrade?
I got the 4tb drive but the PS5 is showing I only have 500 gbs of space? Please help!!!
Hi! Please contact our customer support team on our website: www.seagate.com/contacts/ They will be able to help you directly and answer any specific questions. Thank you.
Hmm, i don`t understand. If the nvme is faster than the stock ssd inn the PS5, then you only get the "stock" speed from ssd..inn the nvme?
i bought a 2TB firecuda and have a 2tb box but in the box i was given a 500GB. how does a company mess up that bad.
Going to buy this soon had to delete 3 games just cause I wanted to play cod Cold War again
You can never have too much storage!
@@seagate yes true, I got on of your 2TB ssd thanks seagate
Now my backlog is all in 1 place
You should also do a video on how to update the firmware on the m.2.
Not that many video on how to update firmware m.2 is u don’t have a laptop that does not have a spear m.2 slot
Ty for your help bro
i'm gonna secure this baby
Great video!
it works. thanks
You guys are clutch
Sorted mate, nice 1
I have a 8TB WD Black external hard drive can I also add this SSD to my PS5
Should a person upgrade the firmware on the firecuda 530 ssd before installing?

I'm sorry I am so new to this what does he mean by touch a metal grounded object before touching the SSD.
bought my SSD Firecuda 3 years ago now it just stopped working it just sits in my ps5 unable to do anything

Mines been great but today I started my ps5 and the games downloaded on it are gone, and it doesn’t seem too be reading it anymore, anyone else have this issue? And or fixed it?
The ps5 said that the speed is 6500mb/s even though the box said 7300, is that normal?
I just bought a ps5 and used the same hard drive that I used on my ps4 to install my old content on my ps5, it’s still on my ps5. Is it okay for me to use this ssd on my ps5 along with the hard drive?
Just bought the Ragnorak bundle, waiting for the 2TB version to arrive can't wait
We hope you enjoy your new Seagate product!
Can you please tell me what is your BEST external hard drive I can get for PS5
do i really need a heat sink to install it? i only got the 530.
My PS5 says the read speed is less than the 7300 mentioned in the video- it's around 6500. Is that normal?
Hi! For more specific questions, please contact our customer support team on our website: www.seagate.com/contacts/ They will be able to help you directly. Thank you.
getting the 2 tb today
After formatting mine said read speed is 5156 mb/s , is that alright??
Were do I get one from
How are people finding the 530 with the ps5?
Say if you run out of space is it possible to buy another and install it without messing up the first one?
What about thermal pad?
Thank you for your video, really, you made it so easy, like, i think 6yrs old kid could do it properly with those instructions from you!
Btw, does it makes sense to keep the Baracuda SSD like primary storage for ps5 to run smoothly as it keeps his internal storage more free. The same principle as on PC with disc C and disc D, i always fill my D drive first. 🤣🤷♂️ i dont know if thats even right thing..

So if I already have game I'm halfway in and then I install this should I install the game on this? will I lose my position in the game?
Great video thank you! One question about read speed. My Firecuda 530/2TB can only reach 6,4xx MB/S on the PS5 after several attempts of formatting while I've seen many others that get to 6,5xx MB/S. Is that normal or should i send it back for repair? All firmware are up to date.

My PS5 said my 2tb 530 speed is 5904.. not what I expected
pretty sure the write speed is lower than the read speed, if thats what youre talking about. otherwise, to reduce heat, the ps5 slows down speeds when it doesnt need to use it at full speed
@@cmeza1985 The first time was 5432 the second time was about 6131. It did change to you with a higher speed?
@@ElSeneca mine did change but didn't go over 6k
skip to 3:11 when he actually starts installation process (Note for myself)
Why I format my Firecuda 4TB and the speed reading is 6283.974 MB/s, its suppose to read 7200.

Is the 530 faster than the internal ssd
thank you
What if it didn’t detect the drive??
I'm only getting speed reads of just over 6500 with my 1tb is that right?
I bought the 4TB version for my PS5
