This was amazing timing! My WD Black just came in today! 😁

Thank you for this clear and simple to follow video!

I looked at 5 other videos. You are the only one that showed correctly how to open it. Thx man!

I just purchased and installed the WD Black SN850 2TB model NVMe SSD. Works great! Now I have all the storage I could possibly need.

Thank you for this video is was easy to follow and I appreciate the walkthrough after installing it.😀

Thank you so much clear and simple worked like a charm.

Definetly gonna wait for Black Friday sales for this one!

Just used this to upgrade my system. Thank you!

Thanks for this Kevin! This is perfect for when I get more games haha

Love getting that notification from you kevin 🔥

Definitely waiting till Black Friday

Great video! Sadly I think I’m going to resort to deleting games for the foreseeable future until the SSDs get a little cheaper! Lol. I’d probably want to get at least a 2TB so (hopefully) I won’t need to replace it anytime soon.

Those SSDs are crazy fast Icant believe we're loving in this technologically advanced period 😅😅🤣

Great vid - Just what I needed!

This was so helpful

Love your videos man!!!!

yer thanks your video was not too fast that i couldn't folow it so a great help sorted now cheers

I have a 2tb model no-heatsink wd-black sn-850 in my laptop. I7 11th gen 16gb ram and RTX 3050ti and I love it. The drive is super responsive and only gives minor heat issues when in unsuitable conditions, like on my lap in bed for example. I considered the heatsink model but I have jet engine fans to accommodate the graphics card.

Thank you!

Thank you 🙌🙌

Just got it today finally no more deleting games am so happy

I've been looking at options for the SSD expansion. Probably won't expand til next year or later though.

Wait.... Kevin did an outro? No abrupt cut to black? I probably haven't been watching enough of Kevin Kenson's videos recently.

Just installed the 1 TB of WD. So easy and fast installation. Now I have enough to install more games :) for now ... :p

thank you

Like how u matched your clothes with the sponsor

Finally upgraded my ssd in PS5. WDSN 850x and it is faster than the original drive and more space. Got it for $179.99 for 2tb on western dig on black Friday. Could not be happier as amazon was $229.99 as next lowest competition. And it literally took 2 minutes to install by hand into PS5. If you know how to pop plates off lol.

Is there a specific screwdriver for the Standoff? I was able to get the cover off just fine but the standoff screw is not budging.

Just picked one of these up for delivery tomorrow, very good vid here and informative. From what I've heard this is pretty much the recommended SSD by Marc Cerny who helped develop the ps5 too

Not sure if I missed it but where on the site do you input the Promo Code? Got all the way to where I put my card information and didn't see it.

I just ordered a WD Black 1tb. Looks kinda like a harmonica with that heat sink, but looks nice anyway.

Oh hey that’s the exact same one I got for mine!

Very well put together video, informative and useful I'll be checking this again once I actually manage to get a PS5. Is there any alternative to WD_Black and can you use it on the Xbox Series X/S.

Spawn wave kevin kenson crossover.

Hey Kevin is there a faster SSD with heatsink then 7000mb/s?

My ps5 does not have the green strip where the spacer sits in. Should I be worried or does it not actually need the spacer

the WD BLACK P10 5TB can install PS4 games and play from external hard drive. free up space on the PS5 cheaper than a SSD?

Any overheating issues?? I want a 2tb so bad but I’m nervous

Oh that's cool

I've been hearing some people saying that even with the heatsink the ssd burned-out the ps5, is that true?, tell me your experiences guys.

Was code already used 10,000 times? Trying to get a 2TB non-heatsink

I just ordered mine (I got the 2tb version) does anyone know if games run with the same speed as they do when installed directly on the console?

I installed my sn850p 2tb into my ps5 heard the click and ps5 still doesnt recognize it both are brand new just bought the ssd yesterday n ps5 is about a month old

Honestly . Only get a TB if you’re into multiplayers

just got a 1tb WD Black nvme but no ps5. what a time.

The code doesn’t work :’v

Kevin didn't get the beta software in the summer so he had to wait for the official update

Can I use that SSD on my Xbox series s/x? .. I'm looking the best option to increase the space on Xbox

I just received my WD black external hard drive and it’s DOD. Called customer service and waiting for them to call me back so I can get a new one smh. 8TB for my PS4 games won’t format on my new PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X or my computer. Hopefully other people have better experience with WD. The external PS4 I purchased less than a year was giving me issues but seems to be doing better as a temporary drive with my PS5.

Late news been did this from the jump

Kevin, can you suggest/link a longer hdmi cord?

Sorry for this most likely super obvious question, but do I transfer the data to an external drive first, then install the SSD (replace the old??), and finally transfer over the saved data from the external drive to the new SSD??

Coupon code doesn’t work

That screw is on there tight

Mine won’t format past 13%. I’ve tried it 10 different times. I’ve heard this is an issue.

Can you fix the code for 15 off? It does not work. 😢

I bought this ssd and im a little confused im transferring from my external hard drive with my ps4 games and my stored ps5 games and im transferring right now and its 35 mins to transfer 221 gigs from external to this ssd. Can I get some advice

Now there's deals on these ive bought one... Because i know when more start to do this then prices will stay high

If you throw 2TB WD Black SN850 in, will it work?

The coupon code isn’t working for that ssd.

Did you give away your oled model yet

Now that I have the PS5 console bundle with the internal SSD drive, I have a problem getting it unscrewed. 🤦

Can someone plaease tell the tc name Kevin is using

Tried using coupon code but not working.

Are there any other benefits of owing this other than storage? I’m pretty use to just deleting games. I don’t play 5 or 6 games at a time

i have an ssd for a while i got my ps5 in may but i did my ps4 upgrade ssd instead of a hard drive

My ps5 didn't come with ssd cover what can I do?

I got the 1TB WD Black 7300

I got a SSD 1T and I installed and formatted it but it doesnt want to complete formatting so can anyone help out? Thanks! :)

While lower and slower speed drives will work with the system that are PCI-E Gen 4 you really want to make sure you are following the speed spec listed by sony on this one guy. Even if it costs more don't cheap out on the drive. They have the speed spec there for a reason so that later on down the line when you have a 1st gen non pro ps5 that game load times are still the same when stuff gets more advanced graphically 8 years down the line. The last generation lasted 8 years and if this one lasts the same amount of time you're going to want that speed to make sure the PS5 1st gen systems are able to load the demanding games of 8 years from now. The developers aren't going to keep games the same as they are today 8 years from now as they want to push every bit of performance out of the system as they can and push it to the limits while still meeting the requirements for their games to run at set by sony so you're going to want to follow them on this one and get the right speed spec of drive listed by them to ensure your console runs smooth years down the line. *Edit* also to those that are complaining about the price of the SSD this is actually a good thing that Sony has this SSD in their system and they allow you to put your own SSD into the console hopefully driving down the price of these for some a somewhat costly price to pay to expand their storage on their systems.

The code isn’t working.

After sing the commercial I up upgrade to 4TB it was expected but it worth I both with out heatsink and bought separate and before the ps5 I both external hard drive PS4 games and now it’s on my ps5 sow no PS4 games on my ps5 I both the segate fire barracuda 530 the option is Amazon and what size you want it’s better upgrade now I have no problem play call of duty and the next one

Call of duty basically took my whole internal storage space.

I wish every console would let you up the internals

Who won the switch OLED

what srewdriver did you use Kevin?

Thanks, a year later ( today) i was able to upgrade my Ps5 storage, i think this is a most, i ran out of the 667gb thats left on the ps5 storage pretty quickly, i only have 4 ps5 installed in ps5 got 10 more ps4 games but in a separate extended hard drive. Ps5 games are way too large and i hate to be downloading and deleting games everytime i want to play games. I ended up buying this Sn85 2gb

I pushed it in like you did and it’s sitting in place turned my PlayStation on and it’s not coming up. 😢

just got me one , 5 gigs

💯

coupon dosent work

I have a ps5 now if I can just find one of those damn m.2 ssd!!!!

15% off code isn't working

Quick question, who won the switch oled giveaway?

Code doesn't work.... I guess 10k people have already claimed it? 😲

What’s that monitor behind you in the talking head shots? Looks minimal and beautiful

Hours later, still waiting on your opinions of the Animal Crossing Direct that at the end, showed Nintendo scamming us on the cost of upgrading the online service....

I'd love to do this but £100 - £360 is a bit steep atm!

Hola

Do you half to have the heatsink? Cause there crazy expensive???

The Adata S70 Gammix is the best bang for the buck.

You installer it without a heatsink. Is the heatsink needed at all?

I didn't even realize they were still making PS5, haven't seen or heard anything in months!

How much would you sell a PlayStation 4 for I'm looking to buy one

I got the 2 terabytes Samsung 980 pro, a lot of space for a good price 360 bucks!!!!!!!!!

That second screw inside could not remove that so I just put the guard back on and it works fine
