I don't often comment on videos, but when I do, it has a reason. As a person who often has to rely on support videos I must say dear Mystic this video should be promoted by Sony as the official way on how to install this SSD. The instuctions are cystal clear from A until Z. From the simple "tug the left corner to remove the lid", to, "insert the SSD under a slight angle and push in gently until you hear a click". Even in the end, where you say, line up the 3 tabs and then push close on the left corner. Then you also follow up with, when you power the console on, it will show to format the SSD. What i'm trying to say is, in comparison to sometimes other videos, you absolutely leave 0 blind spots in your instruction video. Therefore my biggest thanks in this.

And if im not mistaken it was this exact video that was recommended by the employee there. It was exactly as he described. Very short, very clear instructions and very helpful. Thank you so much. I've been worried about doing this myself because I didn't want to break my console but you showed me how easy it was. Honestly the hardest part was finding the screwdriver because I'm in a hotel lol

When I bought my 2tb M.2 earlier this year I bought it direct from Crucial and they were not only doing the SSD on sale but you could add the heatsink for just 1p and postage was free, despite it coming from another country (Poland or Czech republic I think). Was a much better deal than buying it from Amazon.

@DogsCoffeeNJesus 7 ай бұрын
Excellent. Just got a 2TB WD Black NVME SSD on sale for my PS5 Slim. I recommend everyone to buy a passive heatsink for their NVME SSD if the one you buy doesn't have one built in. The M.2 expansion slot has very poor cooling especially with the metal cover on, it relies on negative pressure from the fan to suck out hot air from the expansion slot and SSD, this method of cooling literally sucks because it allows the SSD to get as hot as it can. With SSDs, once it gets too hot it'll cause thermal throttling, drastically reducing its performance but the more serious issue is it greatly reduces its lifespan
@pnwfisher2144 4 ай бұрын
Yeah luckily most all everyone getting SSDs for their PS5s are getting ones with a heat sink. I’m sure over 95% of them are gonna have a heat sink built in.
