Video Description

How to Install an SSD into a PS5. Sony have unlocked the PS5’s internal SSD, which allows you to install an additional SSD into the PlayStation 5. Since the Public Beta released I’ve tested different SSDs on the internal bay and installed them with and without a heatsink. This is my quick guide for installing an M.2 NVMe SSD (2TB) into the PlayStation 5. Plus how to use a heatsink if you buy an SSD without one. Subscribe to my newsletter (gaming and tech updates, news, giveaways) - https://spawnpoiint.substack.com/ I'll run through the different options (250GB - 4TB), installation, new menu settings and gaming tests. Although it might seem complicated at first, this process will only take 5-15 minutes with one screwdriver. The PS5 M.2 NVMe SSDs mentioned in the video: WD Black SN850 (with heatsink) - https://amzn.to/3CibW7u (USA) | https://amzn.to/39doVtR (UK) WD Black SN850 (without heatsink) - https://amzn.to/3Ae9AoB (USA) | https://amzn.to/3Cl3AeH (UK) Samsung 980 Pro - https://amzn.to/2Vla5hL (USA) | https://amzn.to/3khz1Ak (UK) Seagate FireCuda 530 - https://amzn.to/3CejCYq (USA) | https://amzn.to/3kjukG9 (UK) Separate Heatsink - https://amzn.to/3A7fs2O (USA) | https://amzn.to/3kgNDQA (UK) My Setup Tour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx6QjZGMIrE Black PS5 Setup - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqqGcSGNJa0 Thanks for watching, Chris. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE - https://www.youtube.com/spawnpoiint?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW ME ▶ Instagram - https://instagram.com/spawnpoiint ▶ Twitter - https://twitter.com/spawnpoiint ▶ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@spawnpoiiint ▶ Website - https://www.spawnpoiint.com/links KIT LISTS (everything I use) Camera setup - https://kit.co/spawnpoiint/video-and-youtube-kit Desk Setup - https://kit.co/spawnpoiint/my-2021-desk-setup TV Setup - https://kit.co/spawnpoiint/my-tv-setup-2021 🎵 Music from Epidemic (free trial) - http://share.epidemicsound.com/spawnpoiint 🎨 This video was colour graded with - http://bit.ly/spawnpoiint-lut I may earn a commission from some of the links (thank you for supporting me). ----------------------------------------------------------- #PlayStation5 #PS5 #SSD
