This video was produced with the sponsorship of Samsung for me to show you how easy it is to install a M.2 SSD, like their 980 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD with Heatsink, into a PS5.

-In order to use the 980 PRO installed in m.2 slot, the latest S/W provided by Sony must be installed

Just bought the SSD 2TB (£200) and did exactly what you said in the video - works perfectly -- many many thanks - and Happy New Year from Surrey U.K. - you da man 😎

Well, I just took the leap and purchased the PS5, I was told to upgrade the SSD because I was going to run through the memory very quickly, I saw this video and hell yes, I just ordered this from Amazon, It was $399.99 and after I used all my rewards that Ive been saving I ended paying out of pocket $38.19. I saw this video since im not computer or game savvy but I saw how to install, It was a 10min install once everything was done. Glad these video's are out there for people like me that doesn't know much about electronics. Im now a subscriber and I'll be watching more videos to see what else I can learn. Thanks...

I got the non-heatsink version, but got the Sebrent ps5 designed heatsink. Reason being, most heatsinks are not designed with the ps5 cooling method in mind, which doesn't cool with air flow across the top of the drive where the heatsink is. The Sabrent heatsink takes the place of the top cover with the heatsink part still attaching to the drive. In theory this takes better advantage of the ps5 cooling method.

the PS5 has a negative cooling system so if u dont attach the default ssd cover after installing a new ssd your shit wont cool down efficiently

@GREENneonDRIVER 2 жыл бұрын

@@coachprab2379 that's what the Sabrent was designed for. It is the same size and shape as the default cover, but because it incorporates the attached heatsink, it pulls the heat to the top of the cover where there is more airflow from the fan.

Great helpful informative tip👍🏾 I enjoyed the knowledge you shared with your video. I do have a question. I purchased this same SSD. I bought in April, of this year. I contacted Samsung directly to see if I would need to update it with the latest firmware. The representative I spoke with said it might already be updated since the model I have was made in December of last year. The purpose of the update is to maximize the speeds...so what do you suggest?

To be honest that’s not enough… Think about 2-4yrs from now you’re probably going to have a massive collection of games, 175GB more gets you 1TB, ok the OS takes up a good chunk of that, plus games liKe COD, GoW, etc… Requires more space… All I’m saying is prepare yourself for down the road gaming…

I just ordered one the same but 1TB because of Black Friday Sale / Cyber Monday .. I have like 100 GB or less on custom internal storage and I have about 3-4 games imagine .. it's because of huge updates and seasons each game like Warzone , Call Of duty in general .. I have All the big AAA games .. the updates DLC's and support would full the storage eventually even if you install one game alone. I really wanted 2TB but it's extremely expensive + no sale for it or discount .. 1TB would do me at least for a year of storage. I saved your video for reference for installation later and it will arrive for me after two weeks.
