Watching all of these PS5 tips is like studying for a future exam since I don’t have a PS5 👍
Hang in there 😂
Just follow a ps5 restock account and be pre-signed into all of your store apps. That’s how I got mine, just keep trying and even if it seems like you’ve waited on an alert too long, go for it anyway. Good luck!
Please pray for getting ps5 in stock
SAME :D

Literally nobody on CZcams puts out more informative, accurate and easy to follow videos on the ps5 than you. Honestly dude endless help thank you
Exactly, I watched over 10 different videos and this is the only one that helped.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

@@JohnGlasscock I understand it’s at beta testing … but have you noticed a significant boost after installing the ssd ? Thanks ! Been a subscriber since the ps4 days … keep em coming
Just got my ps5 and went through all your ps5 vids, thanks for making them short and to the point. Very very helpful info 🙏🏼
This is the best how-to video of them all. Takes into account all the little things and goes deeper than the others that simply say insert re-cover
This guy is the #1 source for PS5 tips and tricks
Thank you
Yes, he’s my #1 also!
I bought the same Samsung ssd…. Where can I find this same heat sink
Nice details. I successfully installed additional storage a while back, but Playstation's own video on this didn't explain that the spacer is there to keep the SSD parallel. I was a little concerned at first that I wasn't doing something right because I thought it was there to keep the card pressed into the slot. Would've saved me a little time and anxiety if I knew this back then.
Same jus bought an 1tb ssd yesterday and I hve it on top 🤦
I did the same thing just now. Getting ready to take it out to make sure the spacer is put in the correct way @marcusthomas9344
Do you have any form of affiliate links to the best low profile heat sinks? Thanks in advance
Finally managed to get one but in UK the only way to avoid having to pay a scalper stupid money is to pay a retailer stupid money for a bundle. Mine had Horizon Forbidden West, extra controller, headset (not PS5 Pulse unfortunately) and 1Tb storage expansion with heatsink. This video was mega - helpful. Also both controllers had the 'A' designation as mentioned in your video on that subject, so looks like it was worth the wait!
Excellent points! I saw a guy make a video and he never put the washer back in he forgot it. I really like how you show that you vertically lift up the SSD so it plugs in properly - very good points yes very good

Despite viewing numerous NVMe test videos, lifting a SSD ever so slightly into place was one detail I wasn't aware of. Thanks for that tip.
True you can say that again
For those who put together computers and use those drives, its common knowledge. But for those who don't put together computers or are just console gamers, it's not common knowledge for them!!
The actual instructions for the connectors state you should be inserting the drive at a 30 degree angle until it slides/clicks into place, then push down on the drive to screw it into place.
45○ angle at the (2nd) middle black rack with the wires on it. also... WARNING: Do Not put the NVME coverplate back on. It cuts off any airflow from cooling the drive, If you put a heatsink on top, it needs air to cool the metal. A large aluminum plate blocks that air. Its common sense: Airflow. makes. cooling. good.
@@KevinMCable The next video on his channel literally explains why you need to replace the cover but okay dude
Perfect timing to see this, I just got my NVmE today with the heatsink.
All mistakes covered in the video
1) 0:31 Installing the NVMe M2 SSD without heatsink.
2) 1:00 Incorrectly installing the SSD space
3) 1:29 Incorrectly plugging the NMVe M2 SSD
4) 1:50 Forgetting to re-install the expanding slot cover
Glad I came across this video because I put the round spacer on top. Thanks for the info!
By the way great fast and short tutorial while explaining everything and over looking over you tubers mistakes that made other videos. You earned a Sub.
All of these comments from folks who still can't get one make me appreciate my wife. She waited in line for preorder and didn't tell me ❤️. Thanks for the lifting ever so slightly tip, I tend to break stuff lol.
Do you have a link for the heatsink you used?
Thank you! Got mine today and of course installed the washer on top, saw your video hours later and corrected it! Cheers!
I just got my ssd, I didn't realize I had to install the small screw as well! good thing I found your video in time!
The PS5 operational system is by far the best even compared to Xbox Series X. I had ran both consoles to see which one was the best. This extra internal slot for another SSD is incredible.
Wrong
@@mattrobbins4955what's it wrong?
Awesome details and coverage. But still wish your vid titles described the content specifically. You have sooo many good ones and it’s hard to know which generic title the info is hidden behind.
PS: would love links to the specific heat sink you used. I didn’t trust my guesswork buying any old heat sink.

Great video john easy quick explanation on how to intstall the ssd not dragged out like loads of others keep up the good work man 👍🏻😎
Thanks that’s the most helpful video i ever saw in long time , specially this small detail about you should pick up the ssd so not just slide it good job . keep it running on in this way 😊
I like that heat sink. Do you have a link to where we can get that?
It's EKWB, the worldwide leading brand in watercooling solutions.
What ssd/ heatsink did you use for this video?
He used a Samsung 980 pro m.2 ssd idk what size if it was 1TB or 2TB's idk the heatsink he used. The SSD he used is top of the line:)
Extremely well done! Thank you for sharing these insightful tips.
Quick easy and understandable best introduction video I’ve seen yet!
Looking at mine, the expanable storage has two small slits under the cover (on the side near the big fan) for air flow from the out side the cover. It's not air tight by any means. In fact that looks to be the only way the drive is getting any air. Seems like you could just run with cover off for much better cooling. As the 2 slits already using outside air.
I'm super late to getting this video on my feed, but I actually replaced the cover with one off Amazon with hexagonal ventilation. Between the (2-pack) SSD heatsink and the cover, it cost me like $20 on Amazon and got to my house next day.
Quick questions:
I purchased that SSD and heatsink. The heatsink came with two thermal pads, one that was 0.5mm thick and one that was 1mm thick. The directions said to attach the 0.5mm pad on the bottom and the 1mm pad on top. My problem was that made it slightly too thick and it prevented me from getting the two clamps to lock the heatsink into place. I ended up removing the 1mm pad and using the rest of the thinner 0.5mm pad instead. That gave me enough clearance the get the clamps to lock into place. My questions:
1) Will using the thinner thermal pad for both sides be a problem for the SSD to function properly without overheating?
2) The thinner pad that I placed on top was in two pieces. When I applied the pads to the surface of the SSD, there is a gap of approximately a half inch between them. Will this be a problem for the SSD to function properly in the PS5 without overheating?
Who
what is the heat sink called
Just discovered you a few seconds ago & I’m subscribing for giving such a simple & informative video, keep doing your thing play boii 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can you do a review of the new sdd you put in your ps5 and let us know if it made any difference to your ps5 other than extra storage.
But wait a sec... Doesn't makes more sense not putting back the cover? Doesn't make it more cooling or heat compact? I always think that leaving that cover behind makes more sense because the heatsink have space to for the heat waves to get out better to the fan and the ps5 ventilation covers
Finally got myself an extra SSD and I’m FURIOUS that the screw is solidly stuck in place. I’ve tried multiple drivers (starting with PH1 of course) and it won’t budge and is starting to strip. Normally I don’t get tilted over things, but this is really stressing me out.
You can use pliers to very carefully force the first turn. Some really are just super stuck.
Where do you find a heat sink enclosure like that one? I like that.
Thanks for this. I didn’t understand how to use the spacer.
Thank you much appreciated. I think many PS5owners are going to damage their ssds or systems if they don't follow these instructions to the letter. I liked the placement of this SSD it's the the best way I've seen after many I've come across
Do you know what screwdriver to use when removing the spacer? I tried to remove it but no luck i dont want to chip my screw please help :(
@@mz_skittles-1034 have you tried the recommended A #1 Phillips or cross-head screwdriver?
Hope that will help. Check PlayStation blog for more details too
wow since I've never opened the expansion bay yet I had no idea there was a spacer in place for ssd which also means I really didn't pay attention that well to official breakdown video of PS5 I feel bad. so this video helped in actually showing me what I didn't know about prior. thanks! can't wait for update to come out cause Lord knows I need that extra gb space. 🙁
This is straight to the point. Thanks!
For some its common knowledge, but still great video ... appreciated. Do you have a link to the heatsink, as I have the same 980 M.2
For people wondering what SSD to get to make it easy get the Seagate firecuda 530, WD sn850 or the Gigabyte aorus 7000s all come with a OEM heatsink and have great performance and I listed highest to lowest price. I went sn850 myself. I've seen some people report throttling or slower read speeds from the 980 pro but I can't confirm plus you need to add a heatsink to that SSD which yea easy it's just another step to avoid.
PS5 caps read speed at 5k, so 980 pro with 7k is fine.
What about Add gameaddlink solid state drive 4tb A95 M.2 with heat sink
I bought the firecuda 530 and my PS5 would not recognize it. I spent 2 hours frustrated putting it in and taking it out multiple times with no luck. I watched tons of videos where everybody keeps saying insert at some weird angle but when trying that it didnt work either. I asked the company to send me another one in case it was defective. But that would be weird because it was brand new from staples. I hope this next one works because i got COD modern warfare 3 and i can't play it until installing an ssd smh
@@jayonlineslotz send it back and get the WD sn850x or 850p with the heatsink, think they're the same drive except one has a PS logo mine works great. Not a fan of Seagate myself anyway
@@KParks Yeah i went with fire cuda because it was on sale $40 for 1tb. I have seen others use it with no problem so i don't know why mine won't connect with it. If this next one doesn't work then i'll go with a different one
FYI if you wanna save a extra $100 buy a ssd without a heat sink and buy a $10 heat sink it dos the exact same job as a sdd with a attached heat sink that they are charging a extra $100 for something you can do yourself for $10. Do follow instruction and tutorials on how to install heat sinks to ssd's.
other videos i watched didnt have the same model of ps5 as me which made adding the spacer difficult but you mentioned that it has to be under which made it easier for me to understand and now i know my ps5 wont break thank you for this video
Thanks for the great info, any website links you have for a recommended heatsink that will work as good as the one you have in the video ? Would greatly appreciate that my man!
Why must you put the door back on ? Wouldn’t it be better to leave it open? For air circulation
NO - you need the cover on to help air circulation.
For cooling of the SSD it doesn't appear to make much difference either way. For the cooling of the system, leaving the bay open may have a negative impact.
This is because despite how it looks, there is apparently a negative pressure circulation in the bay. Which depends on the door being shut. High speed air transport more heat than slowly rising air.
czcams.com/video/xk8a3MyqzJQ/video.html
This shows the marginal differences for the SSD itself with bay open or closed. (with a much bigger sink when open at that) The difference with no sink is more noticable though.
You can try not putting the Cover back...but Expect Ants or Smaller insects have a Grand Party inside your PS5.
I didn’t know about the spacer isn’t supposed to be on top but instead it goes underneath the ssd then you screw it back on 😅 if I didn’t watch this video I wouldn’t have known 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Me 2! After I watched the video I looked at my ps5 and was like I guess I have to do you right lol.
Ended up buying my own because I did try the ones that came with it but I guess I needed to flip it lol. Either way my spacer was a Motherboard spacer and obviously screws right into the PlayStation for a tight firm grip. The one that came with the PS has the screw to tighten the spacer in, mines you turn the spacer and tightens without the screw. Then I put my SSD on top of the spacer and tightened the heatsink with the screw that goes in the spacer. Both ways work.
@Steven Shearer I bought the SN850 2TB ssd with heat sink when it was first launched during covid, costs more than my PS5 at the time lol no regrets 🤷🏻♂️
Hey brotha, what heatsink did you use for this video? Much appreciated!
I have a PS5, was lucky enough to get one at launch & realise expanding the storage will be required in the future but as of now i am fine the internal SSD for gaming & my external HDDs for storage. When the SSDs come down in price in the next 6-12 months i will know how to install, nice clear & easy to understand instructions, keep up the good work.
i got one just now cuz i can still find them at msrp. ssd might go up cuz new mining tech. That's right, new mining tech, so get yours at msrp.
I bought the external black hard drive
One more thing. Insert the SSD at a ±30° angle. Otherwise you'll damage the M.2 slot.
Using the M.2 SSD without the cover won't negatively impact the performance at all. I've tested with and without the cover and there's no difference. The thermals are slightly better without the cover. I do recommend to use a proper heatsink preferably a copper one.
Thanks for this. I’ve just installed the Sabrent Rocket Heatsink and it’s a beast. Fired up the PS5 and it works. Of course, I can’t put the SSD cover in with it and that was my question if it mattered or not or if nit would cause damage.
It doesn't look like there is any ventilation in that compartment so putting the metal cover back on turns it into a mini oven and will likely destroy (ok..lower performance) a drive with a heatsink.
@@AmigaOmega then why would Sony recommend putting the cover back on?
All Cooper is not good becouse it have slover transfer than aluminium. The best is Cooper on downside and aluminium od upside to better transfer outside from heatsink.
@@richie259 Why indeed! Maybe it's subject to change. No heatsink, it's probably ok to put back on, but heatsinks work by having air move over them.
I will admit that the xbox for memory is way easier. But people are acting like you need a masters degree in engineering to be able to install these nvm drives
I agree, its not that hard, especially in todays world where video's exist as a tutorial.
Easier, yes. More expensive, especially in the long term, also yes. I doubt the prices for the XBox storage will ever drop significantly, while 2 years from now I bet you'll pay under $150/TB, and 4 years from now maybe under $100. Maybe.
Where did u get your heatsink looks cool. Please share the link on where to get it. If u dont mind
Just got a Ps5 the other day. I was looking to expand the memory. This is definitely useful.
I read an article that claims you should leave the cover off of the SSD after installing, it makes a difference of 5°C. The author used probes in 3 different spots and made sure the SSD was under a lot of strain. In that same article they stated you don't necessarily need a heat sink, especially if you're leaving the cover off. I noticed the cover on my WD BLACK SN850 was pretty warm to the touch, so I took the cover off and felt the SSD. It was really warm. I waited a few minutes after taking the cover off and touched it again, it wasn't nearly as hot. I'd agree with the article that the cover traps heat, so I leave it off. There's also a flashing yellow light on the SSD, I've reached out to WD to see if it's programmable on the PS5 cause I'd rather have it flashing purple. I have clear black plates on my PS5. I'm waiting on an answer. I do have a heat sink on my SSD, so I can't see if that makes much of a difference, but I tend to believe the author of that article. He was right about leaving the cover off.
And was this article from a reputable source? Everyone knows that the Internet is a cesspool of misinformation in general.
Don't worry too much, your NVME has operating temperatures between 0 to 70 degrees celcius and normally it should also have thermal throttling which will slow it down so it doesn't need to run as hard and get hot.
So yes your SSD will be warm to the touch but if its not burning you, its probably in the spec range.
Does PS5 have any temp monitoring? Might be good to have a little peak at the temps, I check mine on PC regularly.
Also I see this article did not give a reason WHY you should replace the cover.
The only reason they advise to put the cover back is because without it, the dust from the the exhaust fan can get into the ssd area. As its directly under the same cover. Otherwise, you indeed get a lot of heat reduction removing it.
The heat reduction without the cover isnt necessary if you use a heat sink, but if not, you should definitely remove the cover and clean it from dust for time to time.
I've personally just invested into a $10 ssd cover that includes shaped holes and a dust cover in it. It let's my ssd get the assisted ventilation from the fan while also preventing dust from getting into the ssd slot.
I’ve been using the Aorus 7000S 2TB works flawlessly and fits perfectly
TY someone who can think for themselves!
@@GalaxyTaco95 it’s an excellent drive and decently priced I don’t know why more people don’t recommend it it’s also faster than the 980 pro and the SN850
YOU'RE SAVING A LOT OF PEOPLE HEADACHES, INCLUDING MINE! I probably wouldn't known about the spacer if it wasn't for your video. I've seen so many idiots making video on how to install these ssds into the ps5 incorrectly, its sad!
Glad I watched, especially for that spacer tip... never seen that before.
Just saying don't forget to install the expansion cover doesn't explain what it's purpose is it looks the way it's designed that it's not necessary as far as providing any heat dissipation or flow of air since it is in a separate compartment to the rest of the unit
Sony doesn't specify an exact reason in the instructions. But my speculation is it's designed to protect your SSD and internal connectors from dust accumulation. The expansion bay is right next to the intake vents & that area is actually very prone to excessive dust build up. Hope this is helpful
@@JohnGlasscock A Sony engineer confirmed the plate is needed for pressurized air flow. The system pushes air through the compartment with the lid closed and cools it better. There are small holes in the comparment for this reason.

Good points. The Sabrent PS5 NVME heatsink takes the place of the cover, so the original cover is not used.
I have a playlist where I save all of your PS5 videos so I can rewatch them after I finally get one.
Why does the cover need to be reinstalled?? Won’t it just trap heat?
I don't think so. It's in the instructions for a reason
@@JohnGlasscock Thanks for the reply.
@@JohnGlasscock useless reply
There is 2 small holes inside the bay for airflow, also it's close to the fan inside the PS5 so it will take the hot air out from there, Sony engineering himself say need to set the cover on, if you off the cover dust will be a problem later and will cause heating issues
Negative pressure help the air circulate better than an open cover.
I love PlayStation, but the SSD installation on PS5 is alittle complicated.
XBOX definitely has the better approach in this case.
Maybe so but at least the PS5 has multiple options for expandable SSD and not just a single 1tb option. Maybe down the road Microsoft will come up with more options for Xbox. But until then Xbox only has one 1tb option. Ps5 for the win in that options category.
Thank you so much
Mines wasn't showing up didn't know you had to use the round piece to elevate the hard drive
Excellent tips! Can you provide the link of the headsink in this video? Thanks!
That memory needs to come down in price before I buy it, damn expensive right now.
Sabrent rocket 4 plus has a sell 179.99 for 1TB or 2TB for 359 and then buy a NANKUI heat sink for 5.99 pretty cheap
Gigabyte aorus 7000s 1tb with heat sink is $199 I'd hate to break it to you but it's going to be a long time before prices drop to the point of making it worth the wait. I went with the sn850 myself. No point waiting 2 years to save like a extra 20$ if you think you need the space go ahead and grab one.
@@KParks I’ll wait. I personally won’t waste the time to just add 1tb I want at least 2, preferably 4. I can wait because I’ve got an external now and 1gb download speed so I can delete and download in minutes.
@@BoslagerBBQ makes sense. for alot of people it doesn't even at 2tb I'd jump in now 4tb is gonna be insane for a long time.
@@KParks It might be a year or so but the price will drop. It’s just the pandemic driving price right now just like the lack of PS5’s. They don’t have the parts or they are stockpiling them. Ammo has been the same because of primers but it’s coming back. SSD has been way overpriced too long but I can wait.
This Console has ability to use M.2 SSD just like Computer
yaa Since PS4 and PS5 are exactly that a PC running different OS thats why PS4 games run Natively on PS5
Good to know!
Waiting for my SSD to arrive!
0:36 Can you talk more about this step? The heatsinks come with thermal stickers to be attached to the SSD chips, first removing the identification sticker that is glued, as it is not thermal. Proceed?
What heat sync did you use for the ssd?
Useful info as usual thanks
I'm not savvy with this kinda thing but my friend put a new one in his PS5 and honestly I think it outperforms the stock SSD. We did a time test and games were loading 4-10 seconds faster (case by case) it's amazing that now anything over 20 seconds loading is a long time lol.
I bought the cheaper mp600 core. Waiting for longer ssd's before I splurge on one since I'm guessing the increased surface area will be good for heat management.
Unfortunately had to leave the cover off though since this heatsink is high profile
“Yo glad I checked this out as well as the install vid”
What about the blue thermal stickers you place on the NVME M.2?
My heatsink was about a mm to tall to put the metal cover back on. Should I get a new heat sink or is the metal cover completely necessary? Seen a video of measuring cooling and it showed that having the cover off kept the ssd a couple degrees cooler. I know dust can play a factor but I clean my console out every month. So should I get a new heatsink or not so the cover can close is the main question and what are the downfalls to this?
This is the ssd I got and if I do replace the heatsink what should I get?
Thanks In advance for the help.

I couldn't unscrew my spacer screw no matter what so I had to improvise with a larger flathead screw that fit and I was able to close ssd slot , so would that be okay for it ? Like cooling wise ?
Do you think it would be fine if I left the cover off for one night since I got a samsung 980 pro without a heatsink. So would there be any significant effects within a few days?
Where can I buy the heatsink shown in your video? Thank you.
I’m having trouble removing the screw holding in the spacer, what size screw driver did you use to get it out?
Sadly I can’t get the screw and washer out. I used a philips head 1 and it just doesn’t budge.
Is this available to do now, like is the update out yet and is there a specific M2 NVME SSD you have to buy?
Do an updated settings vid on Netduma R2 please. I miss your networking/internet videos bro.
Any suggestions for good heat sinks? I’m planning to buy the 980 Pro 1TB if possible

Your vids are the best, I will be watching your vids for a very long time.👏🏽
Hey you might not see this, but when I play Cold War/modern warfare or even rocket league, my ps5 freezes for about 1 second then let’s me continue on. It does this mostly every 10-15 seconds. I already cleared my cache and rebuild my data base, is there anything I could do about it?
SSD’s, like the 980 Pro, are built to throttle slightly when overheating. It will also never overheat when just playing a game because all it’s doing is “reads” from the drive.
The whole heatsink necessity is marketing
Thank you this is good to know 😁👍
Question: Someone else had a similar tutorial and they put the cover back over the slot. However they pointed out that their is zero air flow in the m.2 slot bay. So how does the m.2 not over heat, fry, melt whatever when your putting it in a confined space and no airflow? Wouldn't it be wiser to leave the cover off so it will get airflow?
The reason it’s recommended to keep the cover on is to prevent dust buildup. I had an SSD with a heat sink on my PS5 but the heat sink was too tall so I left the cover off. After about 6 months I checked on my SSD and dust had built up inside the bay and especially on the connections.
Awesome job as always.
Any of the nvme drives, the sticker acts as a heat sink. You’re using those “ek” aftermarket nvme heat sinks. They recommend removing any stickers so their heat transfer pads sit directly on the nand.
I got the Samsung 980 pro and on the box it says 980 pro with heatsink. Does this mean I’m good and can proceed installing? Or should I still buy a desperate heatsink?
Great Video!!! can you please Link the ssd heatsink do you use in the video plis!!
Why is it necessary to reinstall the expansion slot cover? If you have a good heat sink that should be enough, right? What am I missing?
Do you have a link where I can get that heat sink?
TY Man! this is a really helpful video
