DON'T just force your faceplate of the PS5 to open by preasuring "a little" There is actually a mechanic which allows you to easally remove the plate without ripping it of like a berserker xD If u grap the top right corner and just move it a little up wards (directions seen when console layd down) and hold it like this while you push the plate downwards :) Its just two little nops on each top rear corner which holds each plate in place so you just want to put them out of there hole :)
@Fast Zombie or he just doesn't make enough. You have to calculate the fun he missed on the ps5 and also divide the cost for the people who purchased early.

To pop off the plate all you have to do is lift the left corner and slide he doesn’t know what the actual thing holding together looks like, it’s just 2 round circles that sit inside 2 indents, you pull the corner and the circles come out the indents and it slides rite off

It is, and the claim Sony made about the built in SSD was made about a year ago. Tech advances so fast, people couldnt expect the PS5 ssd to stay the fastest, for very long at all. As soon as sony made that claim, Sabrent released a drive that was faster. Marketing nonsense. IF you check some reviews where they test load times you can actually see that some drives ARE faster than the built in one, not only on paper but in action too.
the speed is only as fast as the bottlenecking allows.. what makes ps5 ssd solution so special is the lack of bottlenecking.. zero bottlenecking for 55000mb is what is impressive. no the 5500mb itself
Trust me you’ll need one. If you don’t put one in your ssd will run like 20-30 degrees hotter and could cause your ssd to go bad. You have to dissipate that heat with a heat sink.

As if the gimmick “magic ssd” actually justify the magic, but it’s not. Most of loading comparison showing Xbox have better loading time or PS have marginal 1-2 seconds advantage
Easy, but inferior and higher cost. The cheapest the Series X cards have been here is £180 while a 1TB WD SN850 Black costed me £167 and has been as cheap as £120 (though that was probably an error on the store in question)

It's still a better demonstration that the verge.
These things just came out and were already showing how to upgrade them.
He talks as if this is like deactivating a bomb...
There's nothing to be afraid of and it isn't a difficult task, especially if you've upgraded the internal drives for PS3, PS4 & PC.
Love the video
Please consider making how to plug in ssd to xbox series..
Oh wait the video will be 5 seconds short.. nvm
It’s also only 1TB
And make a video about how it's half these speed of these drives.
As if the gimmick “magic ssd” actually justify the magic, but it’s not. Most of loading comparison showing Xbox have better loading time or PS have marginal 1-2 seconds advantage
@@TheShaquel RE village on PS5 loads nearly 45 Seconds faster on PS5 if the developer uses that speed it makes Xbox look last gen lol
Next video: how to buy ps5
Ikr, that's a more useful video
Great video. Now do a video on how to get a PS5
So basically Xbox ssd extension is far superior, easy and low cost
Easy, but inferior and higher cost. The cheapest the Series X cards have been here is £180 while a 1TB WD SN850 Black costed me £167 and has been as cheap as £120 (though that was probably an error on the store in question)
and half the speed...
Rather than slide the M.2 drive in at a 45 degree angle,
this dude just lined it up straight and shoved it in.
Poor PS5.
he's a true console player
Was it wrong?
Now if only one could get a PS5…. At MSRP.
Aren't you supposed to remove the SSD sticker before assembling the heatsink? Or is it all the same?
The sticker on the ssd? No thats also a heat dissapating label.
The sticker is a mini heatsink in itself for those too stubborn to actually use a heatsink 😂
Great job 👍🏼👌🏽
Say if you run out of space is it possible to buy another and install it without messing up the first one?
They need to explain how to better open the PS5 faceplate for beginners it is not understandable, it looked like you were breaking the ps5.
