Hey, thank you so much. I went out and bought one for my son for our PlayStation 5. And I think your tutorial was very informative thank you so much🙌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😎👋🏾👋🏾
Agreed, I totally thought I needed to go through a whole data transfer of the original storage and such. I’m so glad I only need to throw this memory inside instead.
im going buy one bro so if i plug the storage drive in does it just automatically add storage and i could still play my older games and download newer games?
@@ChronoX720 hey I have a question. So I’ve had my PS5 for almost a year now and I have a lot of saved data and I have very little storage. I was thinking of adding this new thing into it. If I add it, does it delete or get rid of any old storage and reset or do I keep my original saved data from my games more storage for new games?
@Rob_TheBoss hey there great timing. I installed the 4TB WD Black SSD and the console recognizes it as a separate storage entity inside. So now I have an external HD for my old ps4 stuff, my maxed out console storage, and the new 4TB of space to select where to save your games. Once you format the SSD the PS5 won’t erase or manipulate your current data.
Thank you! the hardest part for me was getting that second screw under the cover, in the ssd compartment. It was so tight that it stripped and I couldn't get it out, had to use a spare one that fit from my tool box.
There is a spacer under the small screw you take out to hold the card in place. Make sure to put it over the hole your screwing into before screwing the card down so air can flow and the card isn't sitting at a angle. He doesn't explain that and until I put it all together and heard a loose part inside. I never saw it
Thank you very much for the video! I am horrible with technology and even someone as stupid as I am with technology was able to do it! Thanks a bunch, you hero!
I have call of duty, red dead redemption and Roblox and other small games with a 2tb storage and still can’t download or store games 🤦🏻♂️ I’m starting to think cod is the problem with huge GB
@@oscarmini Sweet! That's awesome. Thanks for the prompt response. I got the digital PS5 as a gift recently and was worried about storage space. I feel much better about it now.
@@MT-jg5xv Why would they do that? I'm pretty sure Sony is/or at least was selling the PS5 at a loss. Losing even more money because of something optional sounds silly.
This video was the only one I found to be able to remove the cove, all the other videos I watched and their way of doing it wasn't working, thank you so much 👍🏾
Quick and to the point. I should have done it when I got the 2tb 4 months ago. I thought it would be harder since I put my Philadelphia Eagles skin on. It was 5 minutes
I have a question… what do I do with the small silver metal circle thing that comes with the nail when you open a ps5 for the first time and are putting a storage? It’s too big to screw with the nail to old the storage thingy
I know I'm a year late on this but I just wanted to say thank you. I just got a PS5 last week and I just bought one of these today and this video was very helpful.😊
Man I am considering doing this I'm just too scared to go into my system inside. I may have to though If I want the new COD Black Ops 6. My MWF 2 started as a 155 GB game now its a 280 GB Game with all of the new updates. Let alone we don't even use all of the 825 GB in a PS5. I got a lot to think about I just hate how everything is too much money these days. At least with the PS4 you can play the PS4 games off of the external storage as well. You can do that with PS4 games on PS5 but not with PS5 games on external Storage. ☹
EXACTLY. I bought the sea gate external hard drive and can’t even play the ps5 games without moving and copying the game and by then I’m just tired of the whole process. Just gonna say screw it and spend 200$ for the 2TB that actually works with ps5 games. It’ll be worth it in the long run.
@@Walts.Aesthetics do you need to open the console? can i get storage and run the games off a usb flashdrive thing or something? or does it need to be directly on the ps5?
850 to start??...No, more like 6 and some change....🤔 anyway, just went through this process, and yes it really easy to my surprise. You got a new sub Sir. 👍🏽
It’s easy to take off the cover and you don’t need to push hard. Yes you still allow to play PS5 games. I installed mine a few months ago and it’s easy if you follow the steps.
Apparently you can use both internal and external and use them at the same time. Install the internal ssd first and after having that set up, then install the external and you can use both.
Probably a dumb question, I’m ignorant when it comes to this because I havnt done it before. Would I have to move everything from my PS5 to that new drive or does that drive work as an expansion to the storage my ps already has ? I noticed when you removed that metal plate that it was empty so I wasn’t sure if you removed whatever was in there off camera or PS did that intentionally for those who want more storage. I’ve seen other videos and they always have something in there so I wasn’t sure if I have to remove and move everything from that ssd to the new one.
A question: Can you have the ps5 software installed on the stock ssd that came with the ps5 and have the games downloaded on the second ssd (in this fact: the wd_black) And still be able to play games
Just to confirm what you're asking, PS5 software as in the OS and the updates and all that? and on the m.2 ssd, just games? yes, you can still play games even if those two pieces of software are on different drives.
I got a 3 tb PlayStation licensed external hdd just for transfers or last gen games. But deff needing one of these so much easier to install and way cheaper with my series x.
I tried watching someone else do this first 5 min was talking about useless poop this guy straight and to the point
Fax and this vid wasn’t even 5 mins
I love how fast and to the point the video is. Thanks for not talking about bs and just getting to the point.
PlayStation should’ve came with 2 TB.
Then it would be EXTREMELY expensive.
this way is a lot better then selling it with 2tb
I bet this thing will be like 1000 dollers

Forgot about Sony’s official video huh?
@@jollama Never seen it and this was the first result.

My ps5 should be arriving in the next half an hour, good to know its adding room and not replacing the original one. So now you have 2.85TB.

The same thing just happened to me! Hopefully I can find a screw that fits

Will it delete any of your game data or like any photos or videos when you put it in?

Thank you this helped a lot I’ve subbed so if there is anything I need help with my ps5 I’ll come to you channel
So smooth so clean, no blah blah blah thank you dude
I thought it was more difficult than that. Definitely going to expand mine. Thanks for a simple straight forward video
So you don't have to swap anything out you can just add a new one that easily? Convenient 👍
Exactly. 👍
@@oscarmini Sweet! That's awesome. Thanks for the prompt response. I got the digital PS5 as a gift recently and was worried about storage space. I feel much better about it now.
So very convenient and thoughtful of them to add a slot for us to spend more money instead of just adding one 😂
@@MT-jg5xv Why would they do that?
I'm pretty sure Sony is/or at least was selling the PS5 at a loss. Losing even more money because of something optional sounds silly.

Nice & short video but I made a small mistake with the steel spacer piece. So it might be good to zoom in to that point in the ssd slot.
What tools do you need to open
Thank you for explaining this a lot better than anyone else. You deserve a pat on the back for your awesome explanation.
Can you have an external and internal storage connected at the same time?
What screw driver did you use
Idk what he used. Just go to a hardware store and buy a 14 in 1 screwdriver. Works for all small screws
Thanks, did this with your tutorial and was done in 5 minutes.
5-7 games? More like 3 😂 cod taking like 200gb, final fantasy 7 remake taking around 120gb, etc
Exactly what I was thinking smh
My ps5 only let me store 3 games 😊
So what game takes up 680gb?
COD. Cod fully installed takes up, NOT even joking, 459GB. @badongjunior1261

Does it work for ps5 games ?
Thank you Oscar, this was useful on learning how to remove the plates again as I always worry I'll break them!
Amazing tutorial! Thanks ma man! I'm planning on getting myself an expandable storage, my ps5's storage is almost filled up
This is great and a good simple to understand video so I thank you for that but my question is, is there a cheaper option??

The PERFECT tutorial! Thanks so much!
Thanks for making this simple to the point video so i can upgrade my daughter's PS5 data
Very easy to follow simple instructions. Perfect how to video
Thanks for the help Oscar
No mention of the spacer that is REQUIRED??
Can you do this on the digital edition ps5? Same steps?

So can I put PS5 games on it or just ps4 and what does it mean by delete data?
wow thats way easier than i thought it would be, thank you!

My PS3 holds 50 digital games and the PS5 can only hold 5 games. They should of had 2TB storage base.
if you upgrade to 2T what happen to the built in memory do We use it also ?
W man super fast and simple❤💙🖤
Quick and to the point
Can you istall ps5 games on the internal and play them from it or do you still have to move them back to the console if you want to play them?
What was the answer?
You can play any PS5 game from this storage. Its the USB drives that you cant play PS5 game from but only store them on. Hope this helps.

When you run out of storage on the console storage will it then automatically go to the internal SSD you installed?
2 questions 1. Do you have to push hard the get the cover off and 2. Does there storage allow you to still play the ps5 games

There shouldn't be anything in there. It should be empty. They want us to buy more storage either physically or digitally.
Nice very clear explanation thanks
Nice! But will it delete everything when formate?
That will add storage for ps5 an ps4 or just ps4?
Ok, do I have to do anything special to have my ps5 saved data be kept intact?
