Before you Upgrade the PS5 SSD Expansion, Watch This 

Thank you!

@@JohnGlasscock by any chance if you can't get the screw out for the spacer can you order a new screw and spacer or do you have to use that one and if so do you know the easiest way to remove a stripped screw?

@@JohnGlasscock so I installed the one that comes with a heat sink pre installed; nothing more I need to do; is the heat sink already on the memory stick?

Ok calm down its only a video don't get a hard-on over it

Great work!

The correct, sensible way to go

@@paracuja Thanks for that. Thinking of getting the sn850, now I know which heatsink to buy.

@@paracuja thanks just bought it. i have the ssd now from samsung 980 pro. and im getting the heatsink EKWB EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink next week. can i install the ssd now and use the heatsink later when it comes?? or do i have to do only one time? do i need to reset if i take it out later and put heatsink on???????

I did the exact same thing and the same SSD as well.

Glad you enjoyed! 😊

@@JohnGlasscock I like to watch and had watched these before I got mine and still had a little difficulty with the m.2 installation it just wouldn't slide into the slot but eventually after trying it 3 times it slid into the slot and now I got the wd_black sn850 2 Tb in mine and it's great but I love the videos you make

This exactly! Most will only show one of the other, where this vid shows BOTH instances together. With no fluff in between. Super nice.

Thanks for this vid I’m finally doing mines today

I inserted mine correctly but it stayed elevated from one end is that normal ?

@@barcachamp4217 a little late but yes, the part that clicks in goes in the lower part, and it'll angle upwards at the end with the screw.

Is there anyway to keep all my data and games when I install the new hardrive?

Hi, May I ask any diff between Samsung 980 and WD_Black?

My 980 Pro came with a built-on heatsink

@@gw6170 basically just the price

@@gw6170 same, but with the wd you have the option with heatsink and without build in

I wish they weren't so damn expensive.

I got a 1tb off Amazon (WD Black) for $250

@@ThePappadia with the heatsink?

Same. That’s why I’m gonna go 1TB With Heatsink

I got the wd 2tb a few weeks ago a lil over 300 off Amazon

It's really not that hard if you have Twitter stock alerts set up.

I paid $120 over retail on StockX in January. Yes it’s over retail but I’ve also used/enjoyed it almost every day since then and more importantly stopped worrying about missing out on all the phantom “drops” that seemed to sell out in 5 seconds. Easy.

I feel your pain, I only got mine last week. Keep an eye out on social media announcements and stock updates. Good luck to you bro!

I got lucky, one randomly popped with 2 games and extre controller for 700$

Best Buy is gonna add them in stores soon don’t worry

And how much did it cost ya

Where did you buy from? What did you get? Hard to find and if you do its inflated cost.

same here it wasn't hard at all to put the ssd in but there are videos out of people that claim to build pcs but found this to be hard and I find it hard to believe they build pc's

@@gamerX-wk7ct Ye but how much did the ssd cost u and how much gigabyte was it

@@NoName-yf7bx I got mine for $189 for a Samsung 1TB

I appreciate it 😊

Do you need to update this SSD before install? Im trying to find a ssd that needs no update because o don't have a cpu to update and don't really know how.

@@Dwatts24111 I think the PS5 will format the drive for you when you first boot it up, if that's what you mean

@@Dwatts24111 little late but the PS5 does that for you.

You're welcome 😊

Did that come with the heatsink?

I had a 2 TB drive on my PS4 and I ran out of space. You might need it eventually.

2nd best SSD you can buy it sells out so quick in the UK, the firecuba 300 is the best but it £199 just for the SSD were on Amazon I found a black sn850 for £144 but delivery from 9th Oct to 20 Nov no chance iam paying now and waiting so long so I found a 980 Samsung pro and the heatsink are sold out for ages on Amazon so I looked on eBay good feedback got heatsink for £9.64 on Amazon it was £16 so yeah happy I found a heatsink and I meant the 1tb black and firecuba my bad

@@backwoodstherapy the patches that are now downloaded are nearly a 3rd smaller than they used to be so eventually they won't take up as much space I think 1tb is enough, I have over a hundred games but I only want so many on my SSD but if you like to use the space go for it

Thank you 😊

@@JohnGlasscock does save data not transfer do u lose everything

Did you get the one that says is for the PS5 or the other one that just says SSD w/heatsink

@@wh00is007 I got the one that says its made for PS5 and Windows P.C, W.D Black 7000 M.B Read Speed

​@@wh00is007 it doesn't matter which one you get. Both work great

just bought it. i have the ssd now from samsung 980 pro. and im getting the heatsink EKWB EK-M.2 NVMe Heatsink next week. can i install the ssd now and use the heatsink later when it comes?? or do i have to do only one time? do i need to reset if i take it out later and put heatsink on???????

@@kenned5224 wait for the heatsink to arrive and then assemble and install it.

Is your 980pro still running good, I heard yesterday that a fee people are having problems, I put the SSD Black sn850 in my basket and buy the time I tried to buy it went from delivery the 30th to out of stock back in stock from the 9th Oct to the 20 ,Nov I couldn't believe how quick the black SSD are selling I was gutted so might buy the 980pro just need to know it's running good my heatsink is here 1st October

@@kenned5224 no %100 wait for the heatsink or you will ruin your SSD

@@footballasylum6239 I've only had it installed and running for about a week, it no issues so far.

Wait a few years

Facts I thought it was going to be something like 150 at least

Just bought mine on Best Buy for 390

Well, they’re on sale…kind of.

$500 for a 2tb 980 pro and the sabrent ps5 heat sink. Pricey, but worth it.

What kind of games you have?

@@Wlodek1410 Call of Duty Cold War,Rogue Company,Mortal Kombat 11,Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade,Outriders, Dungeons and Dragons Dark Alliance, Tales of Arise,Smite,Kena Bridge of Spirits and more.

You got the link to it?

That is s fantastic SSD I wanted the 1tb but because iam from the uk I had to pay shipping and wait from Oct until Nov for it to arrive and pay now? I don't think so but you have 1 of the best SSD out there

Good advise man. Will do the same. 😥

Ps6 will come in 2030 i think

I hope you get yours soon!

Fun Fact I just got one 2day direct buy from Sony an invite email.

Day 1 owner. Still think it's crazy now one else has one

I am hoping that the PS5 will support higher capacities as they become cheaper in the future :D

@@LelouchLamperouge235 I don't think that is possible to increase the internal SSD capacity limit unless The PS5 motherboard supports more than 4 terabytes At this point Sony needs to allow us to play PS5 games directly from a external SSD And I heard it's currently not possible Even if you have the fastest external SSD🤦‍♂️ Sony hasn't allowed the PS5 to create a partition directly on the external SSD and allow PS5 games to run directly inside the external SSD that is the reason why the PS5 has a USB type-C port in the front which allows us to use a external SSD so for now I guess we have to wait for Sony to release a official software update And let us play PS5 games from a external SSD That is why Sony allowed people to upgrade the internal SSD storage capacity Which you can only fit up to 4 TB so for now you have to wait until they release a new software update that will allow us to play PS5 games from your own external SSD 😢

Any issues?

@@BlackOmEga_2099 So far nope I'm so happy right now I was able to install some PS5 games I have been dying to play and a loading time is insanely fast or should I say instantaneous 😍👍 It has the same level of loading speed just like the internal NVME SSD 😍👍 I was somehow lucky I didn't spend that much money Even though it was slightly expensive because it was on sale on Amazon during Cyber Monday 2021😍👍 So I'm glad I bought it 😉👍 I seriously recommend the WD black NVMe SSD for PS5 If you have the money for it I recommend you buy it You won't be disappointed 😉👍

@@HeyCMDR1991YT you can use external now.

You shouldve gotten a 2 tb one

The wd have been burning out in 4-6months max with no customer service to respond. I'm glad I went with Samsung. Four of us upgraded and I was the only one to get a Samsung. Others have the wd. Already having issues. One went out in a month.

@@deviousuno9778 wait can u explain more ?

I was planning on buying the WD one but Western digital has always failed me in the past. i've bought hds from them before and they all have lasted up to 8 months to a year. I changed to seagate and their hds have lasted many years for me. but I couldn't find any near me and I didn't want to order it online so I went with the samsung 980 pro with heatsink. so far so good. i think the only reason the WD ones are more expensive is the name brand and because the design on it makes it look better. but it isn't.

@@bobthebuilder9267 basically he's saying the WD (western Digital) are not great. for me WD has always failed me. they last any where from 5 months to a year. I started buying seagate and those have last me a long time, many many years actually. sadly i was unable to get the seagate one so I went for a samsung. so far it's doing great.

Reading this comment in its entirety took longer than the video being commented about 🤣

Thank you 😊 I appreciate you

@@JohnGlasscock as I appreciate you too brother.

The way I'm doing it I just transfer it to my 4 TB and have about 6 PS5 games then just swap the games over into the price is reasonable it's a joke

Great to hear!

How did you get it cause I want to get the 2 tb ssd with heatsink but it cost $700 but if you only buy the SSD it cost $500 but idk how to also get the heatsink

@@chillmushroom6016 you would just have to buy a separate heat sink for the ssd and install yourself like he did in the vid.

This must be the only video you’ve seen on this because there are plenty of simple videos on this

Is it better or worse that the WD_BLACK SN850 ??

@@jonathancullinan3677 it’s a heatsink.

Would you clarify if it's considered better than the OEM HS?

@@ruukusanla not better i think, more like it does the same, but a lot cheaper, and it gives you some more ssd's to choose from, sellers are now upping the prices on the ssd's with integrated heatsinks, but the prices on the same ssd's without a integrated heatsink are staying the same, it saved me a 100 bucks, and the ssd's with integrated heatsinks are hard to get also now, i could bought the wd black sn850 1tb with heatsink for 320 euro's, but the sn850 without heatsink was around 175 euro, the heatsink costs 12 euro's, and it's performing really well for me, no signs of overheating or performance drops.

Hey I just got the seagate firecuda 530 will that fit and is that good enough?

FireCuda 530 for sure 👍

Returnal bad ass game!!!

Loved returnal, hoping for a DLC.

Faster than the magic ssd? Blasphemy!

@@adrianwiles1 just BARELY tho! PS5 SSD is mega impressive on its throughput. a 5500MBps raw speed comparable to a 7300MBps nvme is pretty awesome.

So 9 games then xD

@@SwissFenyx You can easily fit 10-15+ games on the OG SSD to begin with, sooo...

Did you click format or the other option??

@@rustyshackleford2808 Format.

@@SonicAlpha I already figured it out but thanks! I still can’t download some games though:( never buying digital ones again

That's horrible

Just make sure lift slightly upward on the connecting end of your SSD 👌🏻

@@JohnGlasscock I'll try to or I'll let some else deal with the step. 😅

Is it still working?

@snaggy1014 yes. I may upgrade to a 4 or 8TB SSD though as my 2TB is full

@@craigness1960 ok. I wanted to get one. If it stops working will you not lose all ur saved data ? Thats what I was scared about

The only real difference between the brands is price man. You just gotta make sure it's to Sonys specifications. Samsung now sells their 980 pro with a built-in heatsink as well

@@Dr_Won_Hung_Lo I ended up doing the 980 and found a heat sink that fit. It was much easier than expected.

@Matthew Ayres Sweet! Yeah nice of Sony to make it a simple process. Game on brotha

Hell, I didn't know the base screwed on to the bottom! It makes it useful now! lol, I'm an idiot...

If you haven't got a ps5 by now, you're just not trying hard enough.

Pretty much all my friends have PS5 now, if you truly don’t have one now, you probably not really want to buy it anyway

@@Kylesaystuff okok, I’ll try harder.

I'm with you

@@TheDGAF06 facts I got one a couple weeks ago and I had only been trying for a few days it was easy

Congratulations 🥳

lol. I was thinking just this.

Speak for yourself lol. I'm satisfied with getting the WD Black SN850 2TB. No one likes constantly switching games and there was a good chance my external was causing my system to shut down in rest mode
