How to install an SSD into the PS5. This is the official SSD for the PS5 from Western Digital #ps5 #gaming #playstation5 #ssd #westerndigital Buy the SSD here - amzn.to/3onog44
yup you can thank sony, i’ve never loved the practices and I’ve been a fan for 20 years but it is criminal giving everybody the bare minimum at launch as always, knowing damn well new game take up more memory. making fans waste more money.. only to have a 1TB console later on…mean while when i decided to also buy an Xbox surprise, surprise, at least they gave me 1TB to start with.
USEFUL TIP: The "official" PS5 NVMe SSD, that is manufactured by Western Digital, is, (depending on region) sometimes more expensive than a regular NVMe SSD with the same capacity. To save a few bucks, try buying a Gen 4 NVMe SSD other than the "official" SSD upgrade, and if you want one with a heat spreader, you can buy one for $3 or less. Just remember the dimensions for the heat spreader is 80mm x 24mm x 8mm.
@@JavidDiljohn1 I got it off Amazon in the US for 169.99 with the heat sink on it’s for 2TB with a max transfer rate of 7300mb per sec or however it’s measured but the highest I could find. Idk if the PS5 maxes out at 6500 but I know 5500 is the minimum recommended transfer rate. It took a long time but it finally came in. It wasn’t the official PlayStation one just the normal WD black I’m happy I have so many games downloaded now and I keep my internal ssd with nothing on it except warzone for the lifespan of the SSD and to optimize the most competitive game for me
Note to anyone actually doing this: don’t get a “play station official” ssd, get a pc one, they are all the same, the only thing different is the ps one has a ps logo on it and is 3x the price because of it
How are people mad? You can use cheaper non official SSD's just fine, I bought a 2TB for £80 recently, this is way better than the vita's extremely expensive memory cards...
Sony already is I think in loss selling each ps5, probably they couldn’t provide more of storage, given it comes with 825GB of SSD already pre fitted in the system. Or it can be a purely be a business tactic
Lmfao yea I broke the 2 upper plastic pins because I didn't realize the push towards the bottom. Oh well I just ordered a vented cover set for the ps5.
Hi buddy Can you help, I want to upgrade but just wanna confirm do it works fine after installing and after installing do it affects old data in old disk in any way.??
@@jervongrady5022i also don't have one, buy me one 😢 I am a student living in a different country I have nobody here my family friends they all live in Nepal I came to India for my studies I want a ps5 but cannot afford it I hope someday someone will buy me a ps5 🙁
@@Slymoneygang i haven't used it yet. i bought the spiderman 2 limited edtion PS5, but i'm in the middle of playing Miles Morales on the PS4 when i bought it so i intend to finish the game before i start up my PS5
@@TheSnapperManmost USB 3.0 or higher storage speeds should work. Not sure if there's a minimum size like 128 or 256GB, but a portable HDD, NVMe or SATA SSD in a USB enclosure will work for PS4 game playback. But you can use it to transport PS5 games to another console.
I just got one of these last week! I almost got an external hard drive, but after doing a bit more research, I'm glad I splurged and got this one instead!
You can still do that, for ps4 games. A lot of ps5 games are built around there being a ssd and just wouldnt function on a hdd because hdd are so much slower
So what needs to be done for ps4 at least, is to take an empty HD, format it to ps4 compatible drive, go to settings and ensure downloads happen on the SD and not internal drive.
It was so much easier that way Unfortunately But yeah that doesn’t work for PS5 games. At least you can’t play them directly off the HD what you can do is use it for storage but you have to manually transfer it
You can still do that. You just can’t install PS5 games on it, also HD’s are 27x slower than an SSD so you will have loading screens where as on an SSD your loading screens will be reduced to single digit seconds. You get what you pay for.
I said the same thing in my head. A drill is a drill. Get a screwdriver. Know when to use certain tools, idc if it’s set at low torque. Once stripped, you’re done.
@@FirstUPdaGREATa drill is a drill. Good thing he didn’t use a drill. You’re just saying it’s bad because you assume it is, electric screwdrivers are totally fine for this type of thing. It doesn’t have enough torque to do any damage.
I work at GameStop and we sell 1, 2, 4, and 5TB Internal HD for PS5 and PS4. We also have External HD with the same space. I bought a 4TB HD for my PlayStation and it's been great. It's quite expensive though. The 4TB external HD I bought costed $119.99.
@@averyhaferman3474Because it was strategic. They made it easy for people insert into the hard drive into your console even for people who aren’t tech savvy. Sony knew that their console didn’t have enough storage and predicted that people would be buying external hard drives so they made in extra easy to install
For the people in the comments saying this is criminal. Just wait till you find out the standard storage space for the Xbox series S, it’s around 300gb
Also you can use any ssd as long as its fast enough, which is most ssd's of any brand still being sold. Most of them are cheaper too for the same specs
I had a Series S for about 2 years and i didn’t necessarily hate the console, but it is extremely shitty compared to a PS5 or Series X. Yeah you can only use right at 300gigs of storage on the internal SSD and it sucks ass, if you wanna play games like COD or Destiny 2 then those will be the only two games you can play lol you can only have like 2-3 modern games installed on it at a time because you have only have 300gigs, the only way you can have several games installed at one time is if you just play a bunch of small or older games
They do have the new series s that’s a teribyte but I think it’s 50 more than what the series s was, but still wayyyy cheaper than 160 for 1tb or 250 for 2tbs
Grew up on playstation my entire life,switched to pc for overall multitasking ability since im in uni now but i have to say i sure do miss consoles such great memories.
apart of it yes but i also miss the ease of not worrying about 20 different things and just pressing a button,grabbing the controller and jumping on the couch.
No it isnt amazing. Its a company trying to suck as much money from you ask possible. Even if it was a lower price. It's still a scummy business practice and one shills still fall for
I recently got that SSD for my PS5 and it totally helps me to store extra PS5 games without having to delete them the same way I have with my hard drive for my PS4 games.
Just so everyone is aware, there is an issue with putting an ssd in the ps5. I have read, and it also happened to me, but the PS5s poor cooling on the ssd shortens its life span immensely. My firecuda 530 with heat sink only lasted 8 months.
Make sure you don't block the exhausts by placing it next to a wall or in a tight space. And maybe don't place it near a heat source like a radiator, a PC, or a TV that throws off a lot of heat.
@zdspider yeah, my ps5 was in the open with plenty of room to breathe. Also, my ps5 is regularly clean every month and a half so there was no dust. The way the ps5 cos the ssd is the problem.
can just get a non playstation branded ssd a good pcie 4.0 kingston or adata 2tb ssd is around 80 and even a 2tb samsung ssd is 130 if you want a more reputable company
I'm gonna eventually do a 4tb ssd so hopefully I won't need to swap it out with another one anytime soon (that is as soon as I get another job first. 🤨)
I have that SSD on my PC thanks to a Giveaway and is a F. beast! , the reading and writing speeds are so incredible that the games install in no time. I trully recommend it.
yeah I have it too since launch and still no ssd update. I could but I wonder what for? I only play 1 or 2 games at a time and if I want to make space, I move something to the external hdd
I regret buying one before they made the official one, the ssd I bought was more expensive than the 2tb but had less storage, it was also from WD black
Sooo you bought a 1tb wd black and it was somehow more expensive than a 2tb ps5 one…… I’m calling bs because the “official” one is like $200 more than a normal 2tb wd drive
why, its so much better to put it all on the ssd, because if the ps5 breaks all your save data and applications are all on the ssd, whereas if the data is on the playststion storage, if the ps5 breaks to for example a power surge, more than likely the data will be destroyed, sure this could happen with the ssd in it, but realistically all the damage will be to the other components
@@hadyali10d63 well obviously if it was full you'd have to change it or just delete the data, also, ur better to put stuff on the ssd because it runs better than the stock ps5 ssd
I got a 2tb Samsung internal ssd it’s amazing. $150-$200 at the time I forget which one exactly I have it wrapped up in sheeted like styrofoam until my ps5 pro preorder hits the step. Definately game changers
For some reason I miss the old simple day of PS2 where you bought one dvd game and everything is there, no dlc, no micro transaction, just everything you need is in that dvd
@@gokucanfly4593 NVMe SSD can range from around $70 to $150, while a 1TB NVMe SSD can range from around $130 to $300. Higher capacity NVMe SSDs, such as 2TB or 4TB, can cost anywhere from $300 to $800 or more.
@Darkest Point Official i nvme that is compatible with ps5 is gen 4 only and typically 1 tb will run you over 200 300 when these consoles first came out hell even more as when ps5 first eas being mad nvme4.0 tech and that speed it used was almost bleeding edge even on pc.... just now they are coming down so unles you wanted ps5 costing 700 or more for 2tb to 4tb then yea. Top line 990s are expensive and new nvme 5.0 ssds even more

@@hs4a085there’s different brands, my cousin got 4TB one for $170 his system work’s completely fine, plus you don’t have to screw anything off and on
@@hs4a085i just a 2tb one for £138 on amazon the 4tb one is £310
It is too expensive.
Best to do is another cheaper External to just store games to save Copy time 😅
Ughhhh
Just remember to check ssd speeds before you buy em.
This was the best upgrade, personally I would absolutely recomend!
lol why would you not just use a normal screwdriver? This way runs the risk of damaging your PS5...
if u can set the torque, the screwdriver will stop before going any deeper. no damage risk
@enrique amaya
No, i dont think i will.
Not on a 5 dollar Walmart drill...
@enrique amaya yeah, i hope jesus will teach him what screwdriver to use
@@danzoombro what?
that's one gorgeous monitor you got there
Whitch monitor ist that?
Or you could’ve just grabbed whatever SSD was compatible at the time when they first announced this
Best PlayStation upgrade I've ever invested in. a must have if you have the coin to spare. now have around 30 full size games installed!
I'm gonna eventually do a 4tb ssd so hopefully I won't need to swap it out with another one anytime soon (that is as soon as I get another job first. 🤨)
Good luck with the job hunt!
@enriqueamaya3883bot alert
@enrique amaya Jlesus 😂
I have that SSD on my PC thanks to a Giveaway and is a F. beast! , the reading and writing speeds are so incredible that the games install in no time.
I trully recommend it.
I hope that everyone has an amazing and memorable rest of the year and safe travels, gaming and adventures throughout the years. 🍀♾️❤️🔥
Had the ps5 since launch and I still haven’t gotten the SSD upgrade 😢
i didn't even have the ps5 yet 😢
i don't have console,i have a potato pc ,however.
yeah I have it too since launch and still no ssd update. I could but I wonder what for? I only play 1 or 2 games at a time and if I want to make space, I move something to the external hdd
what is ps5 ?
I just got my ssd about a week ago and I love it. I got the 4tb though. Expensive as crazy though
I regret buying one before they made the official one, the ssd I bought was more expensive than the 2tb but had less storage, it was also from WD black
Sooo you bought a 1tb wd black and it was somehow more expensive than a 2tb ps5 one…… I’m calling bs because the “official” one is like $200 more than a normal 2tb wd drive
@@pipedgolf4634 I think it was actually 500GB, and it was a little more than 200$
@@Walter_Morganwhere tf are you buying your shit, how is a 500gb ssd over 200$
thanks you always help me with ps5 tips
"Just enough space to update warzone" has me laughing so hard this is so real
Pains me how real it is though lol
Watched 5 seconds and i have to say: i loooove your setup man. So nice. So clean. So drippy.
Got my ps5 recently and i am loving it
@enrique amaya no thanks, i would rather propagate my own religion.
Thank you bro the new call of duty takes up like my entire ps5 storage
Bought myself a 4tb the other day transfer speeds are crazy fast ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Great choice. I have a 4TB in my other PS5, spoilt with storage haha
@@SpawnPoiint Yeah man 👍
4tb is crazy expensive. 2tb is enough lmao
@@nlrenzo9432 They're getting cheaper every month though, you can get a 4tb Integral Advantage PRO 1 for £328 now
@@KingScotto. that’s a good thing to hear, but the big brands like seagate etc are still 600$. More expensive than the console nowadays lol
There should be an option that asks you which drive to use when you are going to install a game
why, its so much better to put it all on the ssd, because if the ps5 breaks all your save data and applications are all on the ssd, whereas if the data is on the playststion storage, if the ps5 breaks to for example a power surge, more than likely the data will be destroyed, sure this could happen with the ssd in it, but realistically all the damage will be to the other components
@@irishlad1367 Yes but what if you no longer have space on the ssd or the ps5 and you want to use the other drive you have to change it manually
@@hadyali10d63 well obviously if it was full you'd have to change it or just delete the data, also, ur better to put stuff on the ssd because it runs better than the stock ps5 ssd
you can
I got a 2tb Samsung internal ssd it’s amazing. $150-$200 at the time I forget which one exactly I have it wrapped up in sheeted like styrofoam until my ps5 pro preorder hits the step. Definately game changers
Screen is Sony A90K OLED 42”
Thanks bro
Thank you!
THANKYOU!
The ending man 😂😂
For some reason I miss the old simple day of PS2 where you bought one dvd game and everything is there, no dlc, no micro transaction, just everything you need is in that dvd
@Spawnpoiint you should make sony ads your voice is so nice you are like the reason I bought a ps5
Kudos to Sony for not requiring u to remove the existing ssd💯
I'm glad they did that. Then it would be a must to upgrade to the 2TB. Otherwise, swapping the 825GB for 1TB is nearly a wash.
I think you can do it with just a normal m.2 SSD
Smoothest loop doesn't exi-
st Smoothest loop doesn't exi-
I think you don’t realize how boring of a loop that was.
I have the Kingspc XG7000 4TB in mine, with a heatsink/cover from amazon, that 4tb is usually on sale for around $200
Just enough space to install the next MW warzone update 😂😂 so true
GUYS YOU DO NOT NEED THE LICENSED ONES, JUST USE ANY M.2 NVME SSD THEY ARE WAY CHEAPER
not any m.2 nvme ssd It has to follow certain specs if it doesn't the ps5 will not accept it
I regret buying a ps5 and a ps4. They're just upgraded ps3s when it comes to the games and gameplay. The only thing next gen is skin deep visuals.
@@J.Wolf90what did you expect? isn’t upgraded gameplay and visuals exactly what you want from a new gen of consoles
@@nooptiui I expect great leaps like the old days. I remember when ps1 and the n64 came out. That was the biggest generation leap ever!
@nooptiui then the ps2 and Xbox came out, that was another grand slam in gaming evolution.
Hahahaha, Warzone take it all😅
I hate updates
Yes I already did this and it helps so much I recommend doing this if you have the money
why im watching this while i don't have PS5
I picked up the 2TB Samsung 990pro with heatsink for under $200. It's definitely worth the extra money. 2.7tb PS5
do the saved games automatically transfer onto the new ssd or would they need to be manually tranaferred?
Thank you so much for this video I love it I’m actually learning because I’m actually getting my first ps5 console tomorrow.
I bought 2tb n I didn’t know how to put it on my PS 5 case n I just bring my ps 5 to the store n ask the technician to patch up for me 😂😂
Damn
And this just goes to show how bad this Sony design is for expandable storage
Damn I didn’t know I had to be a engineer to put extra storage into the PS5
An engineer? Really? It's literally as easy as changing out a battery on any electronic device.
I'm guessing you pay somebody to put batteries inside your TV remote..
No need to be an engineer, but u will need at least 2 years of Locomotive experience & 5 months of Surgery experience to install correctly.
If my 7 yr boy watches this video 3 times he'll be able to get it lol. Your dad failed you lol
How did I get so many likes?
This was here since 2021. This ssd is more expensive for nothing because it's licensed by playstation.
Love the last part.
The perfect loop doesnt exi-
Haha 😂
Yeah exactly
npc yt short comment
“By using a screwdriver”
Uses a whol ahh drill 😭
Electronic screwdriver
Bro ur ps is so clean lol
This is awesome! Thanks!
In this day of age I feel gaming consoles should be made with a lot more storage to them
Lmao you dont understand how much those nvme ssd cost do you?
@@gokucanfly4593 NVMe SSD can range from around $70 to $150, while a 1TB NVMe SSD can range from around $130 to $300. Higher capacity NVMe SSDs, such as 2TB or 4TB, can cost anywhere from $300 to $800 or more.
@Darkest Point Official i nvme that is compatible with ps5 is gen 4 only and typically 1 tb will run you over 200 300 when these consoles first came out hell even more as when ps5 first eas being mad nvme4.0 tech and that speed it used was almost bleeding edge even on pc.... just now they are coming down so unles you wanted ps5 costing 700 or more for 2tb to 4tb then yea. Top line 990s are expensive and new nvme 5.0 ssds even more
