How to upgrade PS5 storage - Easy Step by Step Guide 

my ps 5 does not have that green area under the ssd

@@316locke same

@@316locke There are three “revisions” of the PS5 now. With each revision the motherboard has shrunken. You have the latest version. Same as me.

God send comment. Thank you.

Thanks

Console is more nice for being Social. Everything is Connected and Easy to chat, most PC games use external Voice so it's a lot harder to have that social side of things unless you have a big group of dedicated gamer friends. Oh and it's usually more Stable at the cost of Performance or Ability.

If it's not 12900k and 3090 it's junk

Alot of games are just better on console, some are better on pc but there will always be more cheating or exploiting of graphic settings and such on pc. Also i would never pay for a singleplayer game on pc that i can easily download via torrent.

​@@EricTheBroBean If you enjoy the game then support the Devs... Especially on PC, where it is Literally the Cheapest place to buy games on sale.

@@D3V3L0P3R Well if its a really good game i agree.

That’s what I’m saying I just found this and it’s super helpful

just used it myself today 👍🏼

So how do you do anything at work or study without a PC?

@AlexandeR SciswoR I have a pc from 2014 and it's not a gaming or high-end like Jay usually showcases. I enjoy his videos because he's good at what he does✌️

@@Theveshinpillay its all people need. I run a 2010 laptop. Plenty fast for word processing and surfing the net.

I Have BOTH. Highly recommend BOTH as well!

@@AlexandeRSciswoR you dont need a PC to study tho

Here was the first time I've actually seen it removed. Now I know just how easy it is to upgrade my storage, of course at $70 a game (not to mention I just got finished building a PC to replace my old failing one, also not to mention I still need a *new* GPU) I won't be opening up my PS5 or installing storage anytime soon. I will keep this video handy for when I do though.

@@cael_1303 if you have a ps4 library or PS plus you probably will fill the memory the first day.

Which means you just looked it up. Solutions can be so simple.

I didn’t need to do this but don’t know how to this is helpful

Like will it mess up if I do since it’s no fan thing?

Hey man, I hope you get this notification. Do you have to transfer a game over before you can play it? Or can you play games right off the ssd?

@@DannyPhantom1999 what exactly do you mean ? You can move your games stored in system storage to your M.2. And then in the storage menu under settings , you can set the default installation location as your new M.2 storage so whenever you install or download a new game , it's gonna be on the M.2 SSD !

Random question, that I'm sure I could probably find the answer if I looked, but he mentioned something about leaving the cover off because he was worried about the temperature. I just got a ps5 and am looking to upgrade my hardr8ve. Have you had any issues with the temperature? Or have you heard of it being an issue for people?

​@@DannyPhantom1999 if you are speaking about ssd, you can play PS5 games right off the SSD, while external drives cannot play PS5 games off them

Should we leave to cover off? Thanks

Can you play games from the new drive or is it for storage only?

@@DavidBennettP the internal ones you can play games on. The external drives you can play PS4 but not PS5

which version of m.2?

So the internal does let you put PS5 games on there?

@@jackiemoon7979 yes internal SSD can store and play games.

Did he make that video?

The xbox literally had a little slot to pull the hard drive with a little ribbon, and today simply a memory card like GameCube and ps2

@@phantomreaver85 360 could have the HDD case taken apart and install a larger HDD in there, but that was an extra step and such that most people sisn't seem to know about in the time. Their love of proprietary parts has always been a pain for gamers.

True, but the caveat to PS4 is having to clean install the OS

@@Shadowespeon17 Same with the ps3, on the 360 you could shove a sata HD in there without using the HDD case.

Thank you for this comment

I used this and it might have killed my console? It won’t stop crashing. Help?

@@Arkolight sorry I've got nothing on this. I've been using the Sabrent heatsink cover for a long time and I even upgraded from a 1tb drive to 2tb and never had a problem.

Yes but never compare console to a PC. PC is mainly for work/office job, console is for games and entertainment.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience. 😂The person who designed this should be tarred and feathered! This is so stupid. I can't even...

The UI for ps4 was much better than ps5 IMO. Navigating to the party menu is a pain in the ass since you have to open up “game base”, select the party tab, find the party you want, open that up, and then join. (Assuming you wanted to see who was in there first. If you don’t care about that you could skip I think 2 steps). It’s just so unintuitive and clunky that it really does make things more difficult than it needs to be.

@@kingsy212 I hope they redesign the UI to something similar. I keep holding the ps button like it was the ps4 and it exits out of my game and im like...... ugh

@@bonziisuncool same i have been switching between my 4&5 to play different games and readjusting to the UI is rough every time i go back

I just ordered a WB Black 2TB drive. It seems that the heatsink that comes with it should do the job, as well.

I bought one last year as I needed more fast storage for my ryzen 9 system ,. I paid £210 for a brand new SN850 2tb last July from ebay all the other offers were like £300-£350 I have my warranty too, July 2021 it was a right bargain, the it's i still like £275 on ebay uk Samsung 980 Pro was like £150 more at time that's £285 right now. Brilliant drive had no problems so far, big in productivity workloads, gaming not so much, xplane 11 though loads in like a min with add on scenery, reshade, enhanced cloud scrapes. I bet this great for running ratchet and clank though etc, I tested against my gen 3 Samsung drive I got loy less money on boot times and it was neglible completely overkill and a waste for that

have the same setup, 2TB, this heatsink IS the best unless there is an active cooling one

Can you link these two items, please? I would like to compare them and I'm not sure if I found the correct heatsink when I searched for it.

I heard that the Sabrent PS5 Heatsink spreads heat to the whole stick and that is bad for the memory controllers and that shortened the life of the M.2. Is that true or did Sabrent think about already you reckon?

Yeah me too, I think we both have the 1200 model revisions and the one in this video might be a 1000 or 1100 model

Y'all got the three little bumps too? Who at Sony okayed these bumps?

@@FluttershyIsAGoddess ikr lmao but you still put it in normally so ig it’s whatever

Yeah. I got the gigabyte aorus 7000s 1TB and i get 6557MB/S after i installed and is did a read speed test.

I updated my 980 Pro & didn't make a difference.

Can use an external enclosure to update S well.

I really like the feedback from the ps5 games that support it. Sooo good

Hey bro I have a ps5 digital version What do you suggest to get for more storage ??

Lmk bro !!?

@@brownboyangel__5341 Lots of options out there. Just make sure it matches or surpasses the read write speed that the PS5 needs.

@@mikem2253 I’m sorry but I have a question. Why do we need to extend our ps5 storage? It won’t let us install more games right? Or will it? I’m so confused. My storage is almost full and I can’t install anymore games. Does it mean I’ll be able to install more games or what? Can you please explain how it works and the effects of expending the storage? Thank you

YUP! I bought a xbox series S in October and it's been a BLAST! Cheap and effective, plays everything, I don't own a 4k TV or a high refresh rate TV so no worries there lol.

I’m so glad that this gen isn’t one sided like last gen

Also from what I gather you can even use m&k on games that support it. Series x plus game pass is tremendous value if it has the games you play.

Console prices have always been artificially low. They lose money on the hardware, just to get it into your living room. The real money comes from game licensing and subscriptions.

7:35 he says theres no opening for airflow, your full of it my guy.

@@crisnmaryfam7344 this isn’t my opinion, this is information from Sony. Jay didn’t even know how to turn off the system, so that’s him letting us know he’s not sure about the subject. Just research a little for yourself, and I’m sure you will see no one is being full of themselves.

@@crisnmaryfam7344 The airflow comes from up top. It passes over the metal plate that covers the drive, not from below it. It wouldnt make sense to vent from below as you would have to make vent holes through the motherboards. He also says it doesnt pass over. Yes it does. The ridges you see above the m.2 are the vent holes. The ps5 fan you see there pulls air from between the black and white plastic, through the ridges, over the m.2 cover into the fan. From the fan it gets pushed through the system airway and out the exhaust. Airflow was seriously considered when making the ps5. The entire system is made somewhat airtight by foam inserts in open spaces of the system to direct airflow.

@@PercocetMoeso do I leave the cover off or on?

@@damianrios8395 I do stand corrected. 1 yr ago we trusted sony. The design was supposed to use negative pressure for cooling, they made the holes too small so it doesnt do that job very greatly. People tested and said they got better temps with the cover off. If you decide to leave it off make sure you keep it clean because you no longer have dust protection from the cover. Also, If your m.2 ssd has replaces and uses its own heatsink, even better

This was one of the questions I had upon reading it needed a dedicated heatsink. Wasn't included in the video so thanks for clarifying.

There is no such thing as negative space cooling. You mean negative pressure.

Probably something GN could do with their temp probes and other tools they have

Heatsink covers is a rip off. It's not going to affect performance if you just buy the ssd and pop it in without the heatsink.

That's what I went with, I think it's the best M.2 cooler IMO.

wow you won!😂👆 I can't believe Jays fanbase is still falling for these comments. the fact they're still flooding Jays comments even after he's warned people so many times means his fans are definitely still falling for them and sending these people money. people are slow.

The best performing PS5 SSD cooler according to testing is a certain one from bequite!. Forgot the name tho.

I also went with Sabrent and their integrated heat sink. Their speeds are also pretty comparable to WD and a the other fastest ones.

I went with that too, the 4TB model + it's heatsink. It was on sale at the time. And it sill is for $769.99. Yes it's expensive. But I buy digital. And wanted to have plenty of storage to last me for a long time. Some of the these newer games are 100GB+ in size, or larger. My first pick would have been Samsun or WD. Due to using their HDs in my various computers over the years. But they were either sold out, or didn't have them in the size I wanted. So I took a chance on Sabrent and I've been very happy with it.

So would you put the plate back on or no?

I'm using the cover without my M.2, it's working fine.

@@moonman1209 I'm using the fine and it's M.2.

The m.2 and it's fine I'm using.

In my experience there is no difference in load times. Tried loading up a game on internal then moved it to ssd and it loaded up in pretty much the same time

Would be pretty much the same, since the onboard is just the flash chips soldered onto the board directly rather than on another pcb an attached to pcei. It's like having 2 PCIE Gen4 slots on your computer, you wouldn't see a noticeable difference in using either slot

From the videos I've seen it varies between games which tests faster but it's almost always within margin of error.

@@scarletspidernz I was gunna say it’d be dope to compair cloning and replacing the system drive with something that has a tuned r/w but I guess if it’s already on the pcie bus it’d just be as fast as it can be. It’d still be a cool series to have one ps5/Xbox and do a mod to it while keeping the os intact to see how much you can possibly milk out of a system.

​@scarletspidernz the load time r so close and similar their no reason to be spending more money on a different brand. Just get whatever is cheap and meets the ps5 requirements.

Other people have tested this with temperature probes and open is superior cooling. Gamers Nexus actually proved this.

furthermore you can look and see theres no "opening to allow airflow" even Jay said so, 7:35

@@crisnmaryfam7344 I'm going by what Sony claims, since they designed the thing, and they say it MUST be put back on.

Nope. Hundreds of reviews of many different model M.2 drives and heatsinks, measured with thermocouples, show otherwise.

@@burnsyd17 That may well be true, I don't dispute that. Take it up with Sony, who demands that the cover be put back on.

all of them and the wife

if they would be in stock, yes.

@@kowalski2334 where are you located? they're not that hard to get.

just depends on what games you want to play

@@LeBurkaTron I'm not really looking them up regularly but when I look for a ps5 or ps4 pro they are always out of stock. Not going to buy a console anyway so not a real problem for me

@@kowalski2334 I got a PS5, skipped PS4 so I'm catching up on exclusives till PC part prices come back to earth. Ryzen 2600 and 1070 have served me well for a few years.
