Thank you for answering the use of the SSD cover on PS5 (04:22). I put the lid back on after installing with a heatsink.
For anyone having trouble finding the recommended two-sided heatsinks, I can confirm the Warship Pro works perfectly with the Firecuda 530 with the fat blue thermal pad on top and the thinner red one on the bottom. Fit in the ps5 just fine with the cover
The internal PS5 SSD can exceed 9GB/s reads from compressed data. 5.5GB/s raw uncompressed. These expansion SSD's are only going to be as fast as the console allows, and as fast as the games allow. We aren't at the limits of the internal drive yet. The difference in loading times between the internal drive and the expansion drives are so small you could find there same difference between two identical PS5's side by side. The loading of the game itself starts from the PS5's Home Screen until the first title screen of any game.
Another Fantastic video. Thanks for the update 🙌
Great video, I have learned so much about SSDs thank you so much
I was half expecting him to blame the Seagulls on the shortage :D EXCELLENT video and past videos on the SSD's for the PS5. Nice 1 ;)
Thanks. I was real nervous getting the outer cover off but you vid was much better than the official one in that regard.
Here in Europe the SSDs are easier to get a hold off than the third party heatsinks. The new PS5 firmware must have really increased the demand.
Some sabaret heatsinks go for the price of a 500gb m.2 pcie 4.0 ssd 😂
Surprisingly I was able to score a FireCuda with Heatsink this week. Thought I’d be waiting for months. What helped was signing up for stock notifications. Good luck on your hunt.
Great info - Thanx !!
😃

great video, as always!
No wonder why you don’t get to enjoy your PS5. You just keep dropping informative videos. I hope one day you get to sit back and enjoy your ps5. You just got a new Sub :) Happy Friday

@@nascompares :)
@@nascompares do you think there is any chance of damaging the ps5 while leaving the nvme cover off? I really don't care if the nvme dies. I can just buy another one
You did a test on NVMe SSD with Tall Heat Sink and Fan. The Temps you showed it was still cooler than with shorter Heat Sink and Cover..
Great videos like always. My dilemma is if it's better to get the sabrent heatsink or the one with the firecuda 530. Can you do a temperature comparison test between this sabrent heatsink and the firecuda 530 w/heatsink preferably the 2tb?? That will be one of those ones as far as the best of the best going head to head.

I put the heatsink on both sides of the ssd on the ssd. Took the stickers off too and it's been running great. Firecuda 4tb. I also don't think I voided my warranty though, as it never said not to remove..
If you does not have plate, dust will come in parts that is not good at all. It is designed to use plate because of that also :)
I mean considering Sony strictly says to keep the ssd plate on I think I’ll do the same. I wouldn’t suggest for people to do what they want when Sony makes it clear what they should do.
PS5's cooling system works on the principle of negative airflow, so having an opening will cause the pressure to fizzle out & the air won't flow properly over the crucial components.
The sabrent heatsink you can buy which replaced the plate. Is dissipating heat above. Completely backwards. Airflow below the plate and heatsink dissipation combined optimises cooling. Comments above spot on.
@@phildavis8732 So what you’re saying is the Sabrent PS5 specific heatsink won’t be good at all?
@@EckoTheFox1 correct. Sony want heatsink to dissipate heat under the plate combined with the airflow that goes underneath the plate. That maximises cooling. Sabrents heatsink is the plate so heat goes above where the plate was so doesn't benefit entirely with the airflow underneath. Looks nice but bad design vs sonys intent.
@@phildavis8732 Huh..interesting…I just really wanna see multiple people test the temperatures with it. I myself was thinking it would be very effective at cooling. What if I bought the Sabrent heatsink that is known to be good but doesn’t exactly fit in the PS5. What would be the result of that then in your opinion
Will you be testing TEAMGROUP T-Force CARDEA A440 2TB?
@NASCompares I brought a 4tb sabrent nvme I don't need to take off the white sticker I brought a sabrent heatsink aswell
I have a 2tb Samsung 980 pro and have only one heatsink on the top, so far, no issues.
Most of the drives I'm seeing with optional 1st party heatsink the heatsink version is $60-80 more expensive, definitely not worth it!
How about Kingston FURY Renegade? Why this doesn't appear in your lists?
Hi, I just installed the Seagate Game Drive M.2 in 4gb. I was wondering what the differences are and how it compares to the Seagate Firecuda 530 in 4tb?
NAS I pre order it man can you tell me if it's good before It came so I buy something else
Is AORUS 500GB 👌 for my digital edition ps5 or I need PC & it's small enough to put it inside there?🤔
Hi. Thanks for the video. I have put the Viper in as an ssd. Everything works fine but it did me 2 times with 2 different. the joke of turning off the console, very shortly after launching a game. Then I rebooted from the console button and it worked perfectly. Another time it was telling me it was impossible to update a game.... I restarted and then it succeeded. For copies it never gave me any problems, it's just as fast and loads as the basic one, sometimes even a second faster. Do you know what's causing these shutdowns for no reason? I also have the hdd via USB attached. Could it be that it's getting confused?
Sabrent cover/heatsink works on wd 850N ? What's the temperature of it?
Do I need to update the firmware for kc3000 I just bought? For the PS5 that is
My 2Tb Firecuda 530 with h/sink preorder got delayed(have a new ship date 30th Sept)
hello do we need ssd's update firmware or it does not matter you just have to put on ps5?
Does anyone know if it matters if I get a ssd with heat sick and add the Sabrent cover? I would imagine it would help with reducing heat.
anyone know where i can get those black square display shelves behind him?
Sorry for being late to the party, but where did you get those cool ps5 plates?

Where you get those Plates Tho
I was thinking about getting a 4tb but im seeing everyone getting a 2tb would that be more then enough storage i dont want the problem that the ps4 had with storage
Should you be transferring the apps from the PS5 (I.e ESPN, Apple TV, Hulu, Netflix, RUclips, etc) to the Seagate Firecuda 350 2T as well? I’m curious what’s best or since these apps are optimized for the PS5, it would be best to just leave them on the internal drive for best performance. Thank you! Love the vids.
Just wanted to see if anyone could help me with this comment?
@@Sanc7tus that's a hard question to answer.
thx
Is the PNY CS2130 4TB M.2 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) M280CS2130-4TB-RB PS5 compatible?
Would very much like a dive into the Viper VP4300 m.2 performance. I went ahead and purchased it, and it’s “supposedly” faster then the firecuda 530
lol
What’s your opinion on Sabrents PS5 specific heatsink? Do you think it’ll actually be “the best” like they claim? I know their original heatsink is really good, so they have some reputation, but do you yourself think it’s gonna be a good heatsink?
I want to see thermal results for this, their piece seems confusing to me, but again as you said they have reputation.
Where did you get that black side panels? For the ps5? :D

Will the SSD inhance gameplay in any way? Other than faster load times of course... will it help gameplay smoother and sharper at all?
I have been trying to figure this out as well
Warranties are not void in the USA. Those labels are unenforceable in the USA and technically against Consumer Protection Kaws.
Extra not on the "sticker" on the ssds, the stickers are purposely thermally conductive. They are meant to stay on.
will these ssd get cheaper atm there more expensive then the PS5 itself
Where did you get thosr dope PS5 black plates?!

5:53 So it is fine to leave Bay OPEN with the Gammix?
I have the XPG Gammix S70, did you get the cover or not??, I don't have it on but I have doubts.
One thing, this Sabrent rocket with the big heatsink, there could be an issue fitting it to the PS5 Pro since we don’t know how the design will look
I'd imagine if you have the money to buy a Pro, you probably have enough to get a second M.2 drive, ignoring the inconvenience of reinstalling some games. Having said that I imagine the Pro will have 1.65TB of space (about 1.3TB usable)
@@darktempest53 I might even say that there won't be any pro this generation. Most probably just a slim version.
Can I update the firmware of my drive using an external m.2 enclosure? It's the only thing I have on hand. The other m.2 port is used by my PC's OS .
Did it work? Seems like a good solution?
I'm getting 6100MB/s on my WD SN850 while everyone else I see online is getting about 6500MB/s. Should I be concerned?
Guessing they don't make a usb 3.0 to NvMe so I can just use my fat external 4gig in the NvMe slot
Can't decide between getting a Gigabyte Auros now or continue to wait and see what's coming. I just don't want to be stuck with nothing, but I'm curious about some new products releasing next month.
You have been saying this a while now nothing coming out will be any better than what’s out now get one that meets the specs and you’re golden it’s all down to price per GB at this point a special water cooled SSD won’t make any difference all the drives that are out now all work perfectly including the Aorus just get what you can afford mate
@@CH-bn7qb I'm just curious about the Sabrent heatsink cover that releases next month and a new brand that has some impressive specs, but no price. What did you get?
@@D-NastyNoise Aorus 7000S 2TB

Dumb question maybe? If I swap out my heatsink and thermal pads will it effect my ssd in my PS5? Thank you. Love your videos!
Nope, won't case any damage at all. Not a silly question at all! Many users who associate thermal heatsink inside computing components will think of 'thermal pase' as used in CPUs (which is more gel like and greasy). These are either fixed shape silicon pads or 'tacky' in nature, so easy to remove and replace. Cheers for watching.
I added the Samsung 980 nvme ssd with a heatsink with silicone bands. I ordered the double sided heatsink you recommended and I will swap it out because I’ve read the silicone bands are not recommended. If I disconnect my ssd to a double sided one it won’t corrupt my downloaded games? Thank you so much for feedback.
8:54 You say the ADATA S70 should have it's firmware updated but you don't say what difference it makes. In your original S70 test the PS5 gave a read speed of 6235, and my own S70 gave 6215. So what speed might I expect if I update the firmware?
I also have the XPG Gammix S70, you put the metal cover on it, you are not using it???
@@vGami- Not using the metal cover.
What if I used my ssd on my ps5 and added games on it and needed to get new firmware, will It affect my ps5 games when I install it into my pc ?
No
Q: would adding the extra (spare) thermal pad that came with my HeatSink make a marked difference?
I added both the thermal pad and Heatsink on mine(Viper VP4300) and from what I understand it claims to add a few more degrees of cooling
@@XiLock_Alotx my SSD was one sided but I added the thermal padding to both sides in my HeatSink. What I was wondering was…would it help to add another layer to the top of the heatsink as I have an extra thermal pad to aid extra cooling to the controller…
Don't add any extra pads; only use what you need. If the M.2 is covered bottom and top with a pad, don't put another pad on top of a pad. It'll only slow heat transfer. The pad is just there to get the heat from the drive to the metal heat sink. Layering pads will only serve to impede this
@@HankyBalPanky No. Thermal pads should only sadwich the M.2 drive. If it's not touching the M.2 drive, don't use the extra thermal pad
@@darktempest53 Perfect, thanks for the reply
What if I removed the sticker on my sn850 nvme 1 tb ? Can I use thermal padding with a heatsink instead? Because I can't find where to buy another sticker 🤣
And how should I lay the thermal pad ?
Is 1tb ssd enough i want to start a gaming channel 😁

The WD_Black 2TB without heat sink is $359 and with is $768 on Amazon. So I bought the one without and got the MHQJRH heat sink for $20. The difference was the SSD without heatsink was on sale while the one with the heatsink was not. Saving $400 by using an 3rd party heat sink was an easy decision.
Did the 3rd party heatsink work well? I am buying the same drive so I want to be sure I don't regret buying one without the pre installed heatsink.
@@jovannigonzalez7934 so far no issues I copied over 250gb of games from the main drive to the SSD and it was pretty fast

Literally answered by biggest worry with question 1.
I’m freaking out I bought the firecuda 520 is it any good.
It's an ok drive. But you might potentially feel a bottle neck on newer games years from now. I have a FULL comparison on this 529 drive + some 5000-5500MBs SSDs going live in the next few days, plus a bunch of dedicated Firecuda 520 vids coming soon. Hope these help buddy
Thanks I’ll keep it. you’re a god send.

All these heat sinks are out of stock 😞
Can you move your mic a little closer not easy to hear you.
lol he flipped off the back cover like nothing
Agree with all points except that factory made ssd with heat sink is better, these are made in China, with or without heat sink, in the same factory by probably the same group of workers. Save yourself some $50-70 and buy a $10-$15 heat sink and apply yourself, same result.
I thought the 980 Pro would have around 6500 read speed on PS5, though I only get 5500ish on my 1TB 980 Pro... :(
I have the 2tb, works great, the speed realy doesnt matter, if you have 5500 youre good to go in my case 5700, when you format the drive again its possible that the speeds are higher. The samsung 980 pro is just a fast as the internal ssd.
It's because it needs the firmware unlocked via the software provided with the drive.
@@seancovell4320 In that case I need an M.2 adapter to update it... Nah it works, and I don't notice any problems.
Question: "What's the best external SSD for storing PS4 games?
Samsung 860 pro. And just add an external sata ssd enclosure
None, just get a 4tb external hdd. There wont be any difference when comparing it to a external ssd.
Really wished I bought the SN850 with the first party proprietary heatsink instead
I purchased the 980pro for my ps5 and it was bottle necked at ~5550 mb/s.
Did anyone else experience this?
Yes that is normal mine capped out at 5567.319 MB/s I also got the 980 PRO 1TB SSD
Do you know if the wd black one is also capped or it’s just the Samsung one?
@@rolandotorres6348 My freind has a Viper 4300 SSD and he said his is also 5500 MB/s
I think Sony is throttling the MB/s Maybe in the future they will boost up to 7000MB/s
@@rolandotorres6348 My WD Black SN850 gave a reading of about 6500MB/s, so about 500MB/s short of it's 7000MB/s rating. I imagine there's some overhead needed for the drives, probably (as Cerny said) due to it having to make a 2-priority drives have 6 priorities like the PS5 has
Why don’t they make 3gb SSDs?
Tough to separate the storage equally on the NAND chips (where the data live) by X2 or x4 modules. Eg a 4TB has either 4x 1024GB or 8x 512GB NAND chips physically. Hope that helps
COOL SKIN
lol
Internal SSD expansion won't get faster than PS5(your wrong) all data goes thru the PS5 Custom IO( the overhead is already been used just too keep up with PS5 custom SSD
Umm.. I have about 3-4GB of recorded footage that says otherwise
None of the 7000+ drives get rate close to 7000 on PS5 test. Its cos the overhead is required by the PS5( Thats why Cerny said a overhead is required)
Sure 7K is an optimal maximum, but there are numerous examples here on the channel and on other sites clearly demonstrating some games loading faster on m.2 SSDs. I recommend looking at SSDs with high iops values in conjunction with games with hefty world building.
@@nascompares My point is none of drives will ever hit 7,000. Also PS5 SSD if it does get beat its only by tiny margin(PS5 drives does all the OS functions and controls the M.2 SSDs)
