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?
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.😊
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 👍🏾
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
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
@@TarnishedVet 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?
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.
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!
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. 👍🏽
Short and easy explanation thank you. Question tho, can you remove it the same way if you make sure the PlayStation is off? And also can you technically have multiple of these loaded with games to just pop in a have the games from each drive ready to play?
I bought a external wd black p10 external drive and been using it for 2 weeks. I then bought me the wd black 2 tb ssd few days ago. Installed it but won't let me format it to use the internal drive. Can anyone help me how I can use both internal and external please?
That’s on the mini ps5 right? I have the mini ps5 I shouldn’t have a problem doing that I didn’t know that comes off easily I recently ordered a 2tb for ps5 so i can’t until that comes in!!
Wait, did he remove a memory card thing or was it already empty? Gawd, I feel old. Just getting back into some casual gaming at age 37 and feeling obsolete! I miss the days you could just play a game and didn’t have endless downloads and installations. My control even had to update before I started to play!
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.
Me too!! I was able to unscrew the cover for the ssd....but the smaller screw inside I can F in remove!!! What kind of screwdriver do we need for that???
No, you format the card so unless you have something on the card, you don't lose anything. I transfered all games into the card and everything was transferred seemlessly
Can you install modern games onto the drive or what?? Because some external storage devices wont allow you to save modern games onto them. Only pre 2016/17 or below games …
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.
Does it matter if I choose a Read Speed of 7,300MBs instead of a Read Speed of 7,000MBs for the 2TB official licenced 2TB WD_Black SSD Memory stick? As I know, Sony says it has to be specific with what goes in the PS5 for memory.
I have a ps5 so if my ps5 when I install a new ssd will have the original plus the 1tb or 2tb whichever I get in total available memory? No need to remove the original that with it like previously on ps4? thanks
Are you able to run games downloaded to this device without having to move them to the console storage? I have previously upgraded with an external storage device, downloaded games to it, then needed to move them to the console storage anyway just to play them. Thanks in advance
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
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

Thx man, not a 60 min vid with nonsense, short and consist! 🎉
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.
Thanks. This helped me out. Straight to the point
Great. Not only do i need to get one of these, i can also clean the fan and all the dust with my hoover.
Thank you for awesome clear tutorial, I went with the Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 1TB.
Subbed!
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.

You need a really small one I didn't have the right size either
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 😂

Nice, straight to the point no unnecessary explanaitions we don't care about. Thanks a lot mate💪
I thought it was more difficult than that. Definitely going to expand mine. Thanks for a simple straight forward video
Thank you Oscar, this was useful on learning how to remove the plates again as I always worry I'll break them!
Thank you for explaining this a lot better than anyone else. You deserve a pat on the back for your awesome explanation.
So can I put PS5 games on it or just ps4 and what does it mean by delete data?
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
@@badongjunior1261don’t know but me 2 now I had to delete one game to update a game.

Amazing tutorial! Thanks ma man! I'm planning on getting myself an expandable storage, my ps5's storage is almost filled up
So smooth so clean, no blah blah blah thank you dude
Thank you. Im at work. And also getting ready for the 2023 Chicago Pro 212 class. This is motivating.
LMAOO wtf goodluck Im going to go see
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

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.
Short and easy explanation thank you. Question tho, can you remove it the same way if you make sure the PlayStation is off? And also can you technically have multiple of these loaded with games to just pop in a have the games from each drive ready to play?
Ok, do I have to do anything special to have my ps5 saved data be kept intact?

I've been reading that ps5 games cannot directly be played from SSDs? Are they referring to perhaps external ones, or even this Sony certified one?
Where did you get the screw to screw down the plate when you took it out to to hold down the memory card
Does installing the new ssd mess up any of your current saved game data on the system.
Yes
What about the digital version?
Thanks so much for the info.
Quick and straight to the point, bravo, thank you 🙏🏽
Does it work for ps5 games ?
@oscarmini I can’t see the link below regarding the price and everything. Pls how much is it and how can I get it???
Still no one mentions which type of screwdriver I need. And is it the same one for the all the screws for this install?
