These 1TB SSDs are getting to the size of those old school 5mb USB sticks from back in the day. It's crazy
Ah
Manage your space ,put the games you not using on the hard drive.
Just imagine how much data is stored in just 1 drop of blood. Many, many, many, numerous terabytes. #FACTS
They make 1TB SD cards dude
@@noonenoesbutme not for ps5 not sure y I guess they stupid
A point of note, which I think it is VERY important: connect your SSD to a computer first and update the firmware, especially for Samsung. The day 1 firmware kept the ssd under optimal performance, which Samsung addressed with a firmware update.
EDIT: this was an issue with Samsung 980PRO 2tb at launch and sometime after. Some comments below suggest this is no longer the case, as Samsung updates them before they go on sale. Regardless, the PS5 will test any connected SSD and give a short report on how it performs, letting you know if you need to update the firmware or not.
What if you don't have a desktop to connect it to?
@@TheRealOne24 i might try the library lol
@@TheRealOne24 then you best have a friend. SSD firmwares cannot pe updated via the console, which is a pity. There should be an agreement between Sony and manufacturers, especially the big ones like Samsung.
@@StefanConstantinDumitrache that's unfortunate
@@TheRealOne24 if you have a Best Buy nearby, their geek squad should be able to do it for you as well
I bought the 980 pro about a year ago now, it’s a great SSD. If you buy from select retailers, you’re also getting a 5 year warranty on it at no extra cost. Save your receipt though!
Do you have to update on pc before use it on PS5?
@@BDAkaGoat nope! Just gotta install it then format it via the PS5 and that’s it
@@BDAkaGoat just install. Ps5 will do everything for you
Is it worth it?
@@ericrodriguez28 yeah definitely. 825 isn’t enough seeing most games are about 100gb or more… worth the 140 I paid.
The PS5 Pro should be out by the time I’m ready to buy one. I’m a very patient guy 👍
Me too lol
Lol
You seem like a calm and reasonable person
@@metalex568 ok
Cool
I bought this a week ago it was on sale at the time and it’s well worth the purchased if you need more storage. I accidentally damaged the mounting screw had to go to Home Depot to get a replacement with a M3-0.5 x 10mm flat head phillips screw and didn’t need the spacer.
watch out bot
I ruined my screw too. The metal they used was flimsy and completely stripped out
what speed did it give you when you installed on the PS5? did you upgrade the SSD firmware?
This nearly happened to me, I could feel the screw was made of cheese! I had to apply some downwards pressure to get it out without out destroying it.

Yesssss it’s so zesty I totally agree he over does the Ss sound and makes it sound spicy 😅
You really can't go wrong with any of the major brand SSD's for the PS5. I personally bought the WD Black SN850 last year and it's been great, no issues.
I heard that under pressure the wd sn 850 can get very very hot, like after a writing of 600 gb the temperature of the ssd is around 80 degrees, i dont know if the test was done with a heatsink or not, but you didnt have any problem ?
@@Wassim_Hellal this is true but it produces much less heat than using it on a PC itself where it most likely is used for heavy loads
@@k9beast_122 ya i got it and i put the sabrent heat sink, best decision ever
@@Wassim_Hellal can u send the link of the heatsink u bought please!
This is why I play the PS4 versions of games instead of ps5, the storage is not only expensive but it's also time management too! SSD will never be affordable ever! You also have to think about the PS5 games that need to be transferred to this new storage? Is there a way to support your games on PS5?
Right now the 2TB version is 188 bucks. Ive had mine since August of 2022 and absolutely love it! If you plan on playing games like COD or other games that take up memory this is a must have. Very easy to install and very fast. Love mine and would highly recommend.
Where did you get the 2tb for 188$?
@@xeroskillzgamingyt5260 I'm about to cop at best buy or maybe Amazon too
I was mad because I checked on Amazon during lunch at school and the 2tb one was $75, but when I got home afterwards, it was back at $260. It's at $230 now

Just as you say, this SSD performs excellent! Don't hesitate if you're in a comfortable position to pay for it, guys!
Is this the magical PS5 HD that was supposed to render games better than an RTX 4090?
That was a great mass disinformation campaign, lol.

On Amazon in the UK it's £98.99 right now - part of an early Black Friday promo
Just purchased it, very good for the price.
Fantastic price that is. I got my WD Black SN850 for £100 in July on Amazon 😍
@@salmanm697 Yes Sir - the SN850X is £99.99 also at the moment. Good deals for anyone looking to pick up the extra storage
@Lucky Meat wow that's amazing and obviously that's the newest version. Brilliant deal. (Love the way you said sir my friend) have a great day sir :)
I absolutely love how this generation of hardware makes upgrading storage so simple!
I'm not stranger to tech but always get worried when popping open a PC or console for maintenance or whatnot.
But this doesn't scare me at all. 😌
Exactly how I feel, I would have never opened my PS4
PS4 storage upgrade is just as simple...
Uh usb thumb drive storage has been around for decades
@@PewciSlayer I wouldn't agree with that, and I know because I looked into it back in the day. Of course it's all a matter of opinion, but it seems like the PS5 makes it was easier to add more without disrupting your stock storage.
@@varunaX that's not the same as internal storage thought.
Been wanting to get one of these for my ps5 now if only Xbox would lower the price of theirs!! But honestly the consoles should have come with 2tb out the box! To many new games are pushing closer to that 100gb mark some are getting close to 200gb so with 2tb total you should get a good 20-30 games unless every game you play is massive. But I have a feeling once we leave last gen behind more and more games will be surpassing that 100gb mark!
And if they had made the storage 2tb would you pay an extra 100-150$ for the console?
Doubtful. And many others would think the price is too high.
The PS5/ Xbox series have been out for 2 yrs now. The time to complain about it is over.
Mark Cerny clearly explained why that isn't the case. Understand why you can't just stick in 2 or 4 TB in a console and call it a day. Anybody could do that. These are customized systems with highly engineered solutions and designs.
This has always been an anomaly to me as well. 2tb memory has been the standard for an xbox and playstation since 2018 and yet the newest consoles still have 500gb out of the box. Very poor decision from the developers. So what if the system costs an extra hundred dollars 500gb doesnt cut it and is a slap in the face since 100% buy excess storage because these companies force us to.
@@douglassmith9445 read the comments before you
@@abellau4105 Alex Vs comment doesn’t make sense without context. Mark Cerny is not a popular figure and I don’t see why 2tb memory would ruin a console. From there, I already stated based off the first comment from Boosted DC2 that people would be willing to pay the extra amount since everyone eventually wants the extra storage space anyways. Charging an extra hundred bucks doesn’t hurt all that much when you’re already dropping 500.
The way you do short videos that explains everything in to detail in just under 3 mins you got a 👍🏼 and subscriber
Yea this guy is lit for sure 🔥
I will be buying this for sure using your link. Was going to buy one this year too actually so this is just came in clutch 🙌🏼
will wait for ps5 slim then get
I bought the WD Black 2tb a couple months after launch. It's been great. No issues whatsoever. Ps5 really shoulda came with a 2tb
Indeed PS5 needs more than 600giga... 2tb is minimum
Then the PS5 would cost another 200 on top that
@@TrulyTwztidG anyway almost 90% people pay for PS5 around 750e
@@trumpameri1638 What the hell is a giga ? Lol
Mark Cerny clearly explained why 825 GB was chosen as the storage limit, read it.
The only thing I don't understand is why modern Sony PS expansions aren't just as simpler as connecting a USB drive. And JohnGlasscock's slur at the end too. 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Hey does this come with the new firmware update out the box? Apparently the firmware update increases performance by quite a bit , but lots of people said that they need to use a pc to upgrade the firmware as it doesn’t come with the latest firmware out the box. I don’t have a pc so this is a problem.
Unfortunately, you'll need to a pc to check if the SSD is indeed running on the latest firmware (which is the issue I'm having too without owning a pc) There are other alternatives such as using M.2 enclosures via USB-C, USB 3.0 if you are willing to dump another $15-20 (?) to go with these options. Personally, I'd go for a different heatsink if I'm already spending additional money. Owning a pc would hands down be the better long-term choice
Hey I have this ssd and can confirm there's no need to update; If your package has a manufacturing date of 2022 10 08 then it is running the latest software out of the box. Mines reached speeds of 6500
@@blm2503 hoping that’s the case for me. I’ll have to install it on my ps5 and see. Is there an indicator of whether you have the latest update or not? Will the ps5 tell you that information?
In case this helps anyone, I got one of these straight from Samsungs UK store a month ago and was also freaking out as I found out about the need to update after ordering.
But I put it in my PS5 and it was showing the correct 6500ish speed so it came up to date out of the box.
@@eikerir does the ps5 tell you whether or not you’re at the latest firmware update? Or you would have to look at the speeds to come up with the answer yourself?
I am glad you keep it simple mate
Just don't under the jimberish at your end of statement lol
Do you guys fill up your internal storage that quick? I normally uninstall games im done playing, and some of my games are on disc. Or am i missing something since i havent bought any storage upgrades?
Banger video though! Thank you
John like your content, but I just facepalmed when you show us that Amazon web page and the 2TB version was only $189. Believe me getting an 2TB SSD for PS5 is all your really need, and this coming from someone who was eyeballing to get an 4TB SSD for the longest. I still wish I waited until now getting one got my PS5 back in September and bought the T-Force Carder A440 2TB that comes with an massive heatsink a week later ($235.94), but I've installed 14 PS5 games and a couple of PS4 games and I got 1.25 TB left.
I happened to buy this with my new PS5 for 2TB as it's only priced at $178 right now! Took me only 5 minutes to put in and LOVE all the space.
Do you have to do the whole UBS thing to install the system software like with the PS4 HDDs?
Congrats on being early and finding this comment 🎉
Nobody likes bots
I recently got the same SSD for my PS5 console, but with 2TB when it was on sale. Same Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink. It was worth it.
What does it do? Does it reduce my ping on warzone
@willy wonka smh some people
What benefits are you having? If it's just being able to store more games on the console simultaneously and ever so slightly faster load screens, I don't think I need to upgrade 🤔
@@connorobrien7336 you will definitely need this upgrade some games are over 60gb of storage some even up to 100gb.
@willy wonka i really only play one game at time. Uninstall when I'm done. Saved data isn't nearly an issue yet, then I have cloud saving anyways.
Just thought there must be something revolutionary I was missing with the way having a new SSD is raved about.
Good timing! I just ordered the 2TB version on Black Friday. My son will finally be able to install more PS5 games. 😆 I really wish Xbox had this same feature for storage expansion.
I purchased an external 2 TB hard drive for my XBOX. Plug right into the back USB slot and works like a charm. I’ve had it since XBOX 360. Same hard drive literally ALL my games.
I was shocked when i bought this a couple of months ago, and then not long after i saw the standard price had dropped by a lot and thought "this has to be a price error" but apparently not!
The 1TB heatsink version is really cheap! The 2TB price is what the 1TB price used to be.
Gotta praise Samsung for stepping up, when most other competitors still remains expensive.
Could you link me the one you're talking about please.
I’ve always been fond of Samsung. The first ssd I ever had was a 120gb Samsung for $120. When I saw a while back the price on these M.2s dropped I snagged one for both my daughters PCs. Samsung’s cloning software is the easiest thing to use too. I guess that wouldn’t matter for a console.
I just recently purchased a 980 pro and scanned through some of the comments. Is it absolutely necessary to update the firmware in order to unlock the optimal speeds, or is it already integrated out of the box?
I think you do. I just bought one and my speeds are 1470 mb/s. Not nearly fast enough, and I don't have a pc to update it. Frustrating. Friends ordered the same on Amazon but received newer models. Theirs worked fine out of the box. I wonder if there's a way to get new models directly from Samsung
You are the best TH-camr in the world
The 2TB is not much more than the 1TB so I picked that one up. Make sure to look at both before you buy.
Will you loose your game progress when switching over?
@El Cactuar smart enough to correct my spelling, but too ignorant to answer the question 🤦♂️ you must live a wonderful life
Monke jumpscare at The end
10/10
This SSD is worth it honestly the amount of games I have and speed I load into games is amazing
I bought one week ago and is just giving 5543 read speed and no desktop to update the firmware.. Any ideas?
Thanks for this video, just picked it up. Was considering the WD Black since it is "officially licensed", but does cost like $30 more.
Got a WD Black 5TB on eBay brand new for $85.
I did a bit of digging and found that the Kingston Fury Renegade M.2 NVMe SSD with heatsink is the fastest SSD compatible with a PS5, been wondering if I should get that?
@@mesmorrow at the end of the day the minor differences between the Samsung / WD / Kingston are not going to be noticeable. All 3 are faster than the speed of the internal SSD, so you will get better performance no matter which you choose.
@@stubone77 maybe a shitty external
@@GucciRobLucci I don't think so, works fine for me.
Look how the variety of storage is for Playstation and good prices and Xbox forces you to only use the expansion card and at an excessive price, if Xbox continues like this it's not going anywhere, I have my S series and I bought PS5 for that Likewise, the economy for some is not good and there are people who would like to have their console and some cannot, and thus they praise their sales.⚠️
Do you still need to update the firmware of the ssd to get the best speed? As I know if the firmware was the old one you will only get 5500 MBps but once updated you’ll get around 6600MBps
I popped it straight into the ps5 and it said speed was 6600 so all good there.
@@greenblue6935 thanks i was planning on getting this but don’t want to go to the hassle of updating the firmware. So if it’s good then I will be getting this instead of WD.
@@slasher0009 be careful of the screw, it's soft and easily stripped.
I got a great deal on mine, I actually got the 2TB version for $119.99, I haven't had the time to install it yet.
I wasn't planning on getting an M.2 for my PS5 for some time because I was waiting for prices to go down, mainly because I wanted at least 2TB and I knew I would have to wait some time before they became affordable.
How did I get mine for so cheap? Well, I got lucky. I was wondering around Best Buy and noticed the 2TB, in the locked cage, listed as $119.99 and immediately got an employee to get it out for me. When it came time to purchase, it rang up as $199.99 but they confirmed that it happened to be placed on the wrong peg, peg was for the 1TB, and because that's what I saw and the employee saw when he grabbed it, they ended up price matching the 2TB to $119.99.
Lucky me, lol.
Very nice. A few years ago I price matched a gtx 1080 for a few hundred dollars less through bestbuy as well. They had to call a manager to make sure but they still honored the sale 😁
@@johnbaron3070 even better, lol
I just got my 2TB one for $280 with heatsink I'm satisfied.
Hopefully there’s 5TB, don’t care if it cost me 500€ I’m buying that shit 💰
I have been using a much cheaper Taiwan made AITC Kingsman KP800 2TB which sold for around USD 153 in my PS5 for around 1 week , it works as good as the internal storage , not sure if it is available outside of SEA market yet, I expect all those other well known brand will drop price very soon.
My question is can I use up to 2T on my PS5? Samsung has 989 pro 2T
Black Friday is coming. Should be a lot of drives on sale
I got the WD SN850 at the same price as this one a few months ago, it's great.
Dumb question incoming, but is this 1TB added on top of the original storage? Or replacing the original storage?
On top.
I ended up getting a 2TB 980 Pro last week for $180. I don't know if Amazon still has them on sale, but I'd check them out.
I was just looking at it for 189..... now I'm torn between them LOL
Hahahaha! What was the muttering at the very end of the video at 2:37 after he said “ring the bell for post notifications”? All I heard was “awseefwerwrwrwr” 😂😂😂
I’m glad I’m subbed to this channel. Always so helpful
I'd you're going for price go for Samsung, If you're going for performance go for the Seagate Firecuda 530
I still haven't bought an SSD yet & I'm terrified to install it. I've also had annoying noise from inside my PS5 so I'm scared to fix that too cause I could break everything.
Naw bruh you're fine lol its easy to install, anyone can do it
@@animegeek3109
Ooh well not me it seems like. This internal storage is really giving me anxiety cause it needs a heatsink too & I feel like it might overheat or explode in my PS5.
Also I still haven't even tried fixing the annoying buzzing noise in my PS5. Opening it at all is scary & I could break it.
PS5 + 2TB internal + 4TB external. Can't be beat.
Great video. Love your content and have used your videos for guidance so many times!
I respectfully have to disagree with you on the 980 pro.
The max speed I could get out of it was 5500.
Sony recommends at least 5500 minimum.
I bought the 980 pro and was not happy.
I also noticed that the games I loaded on the ssd were a tiny bit glitchy vs being on the ps5’s drive. Nothing major just small things wouldn’t work as they were supposed to (as the game loaded the display would show characters outside of the game world, T-posed. It also would show first person or third person perspective when it should not, etc)
I upgraded to the Seagate.
There are rumors about Samsung releasing products and once they have positive reviews they lower the quality to save money but do not tell the public and continue to charge the same price.
I wish someone would do a comparison of two 980 pro m.2 ssd’s. One the original released ssd and the second a recent version to see if there’s a noticeable dip in quality and performance.
I don’t think we’ll ever see that test but it would be nice to find out whether the rumors are true or not.
Just my thoughts and experience with it.
I'd like to see that
@@AJZulu It’s funny because I’ve talked to a lot of pc builders and many of them swear by the last gen ssd, the 970 evo vs the 980.
Which tells me something. But we can’t use the 970’s in our ps5. Because the ps5 are gen 4, pcie 4 and the 970 is pcie 3 .
Supposedly there were 970’s that were pcie 4. But it has to do with box design & serial numbers…don’t go down that rabbit hole.
Got a WD_BLACK 500GB SN750 SE NVMe Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 3,600 MB/s and a Sabrent heatsink when the upgrade became available by firmware. This setup has worked amazingly well for me, and half price from the proprietary Xbox counterpart.
This, not new, upgrade changed nothing, but like everything, time has made it cheaper.
I just got a PS5 a couple of weeks ago and was told by my friend to get extra memory for it. My question is: Do you all recommend this type of internal SSD over the cheaper external hard drives? Like, is there a difference in speed/convenience/performance when trying to choose between the two types? I don’t mind spending more money on a product if it truly makes a difference in performance. And I haven’t had a video game console in years at this point, so I’m kinda new to this new age of console gaming.
This upgrade help you to store more PS5 games... External HDD just help for PS4 games or to transfer PS5 games to avoid download
@@MrDaftJustice Ok got it. Thanks
@@qeetta92 You get better performance, faster installing / reading times of the ssd is above the recommended 5,500mb, hard drive just act as cold storage for it
The external drives will NOT play PS5 games, you can store play PS4 games on an external drive but for PS5 games it act as only backup you will need to copy over to the internal storage or an M.2 ssd installed to actually play the PS5 Games. I hope that helps.
I wish the Samsungs Pro SSD line was still MLC instead of the TLC crap.
I have been waiting to buy an SSD for my PS5 because of the price. I didn't know the price went down so much, thanks for this video, I just ordered one on amazon.
I managed to purchase a 2TB WD SN850 for “only” €249 in the beginning of the year. It’s still the best deal I’ve seen… I did have to wait another half a year before I got a PS5 though…😂
I got the SN850X 2TB yesterday for 191,99€ from Amazon 🤔
You would think Samsung would get to work on a 4TB SSD drive with heatsink for the PS5.
And you just completely just not mention that you have to update the firmware on the ssd to get the marketed speed
Good to see them coming down in price. I have the WD Black so I don't need a new one but I thoroughly recommend an upgrade, especially if you're a Moderm Warfare and Warzone player! Bit of a p*ss-take that the PS5 comes with less storage than a PS4 Pro out of the box.
I have the 2tb Firecuda and it works great
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I know nothing about electronics. I’ve had a PS5 since Dec of 2020 that I’ve barely used up until a couple of days ago when I decided to get MW2. For some reason it only plays the multiplayer for a few minutes and kicks me back out with an error CE-108255-1 It also does it with Fortnite now. One of my friends thinks it may be a bad RAM somehow?!? Will buying one of these and saving my games to it solve my issue? Any help would be much appreciated!
Update the system to the latest version as well as the software itself
WARNING: Samsung’s RMA support is garbage, WD’s is amazing because they do Advanced RMA and actually respond. They are not equal companies, go with WD :)
The fact that you have to update the 980 Pro firmware manually to make it PlayStation 5 compatible put me off from it entirely, at least my $374.99 WD Black SN850X 4TB does not have that issue
I bought yesterday 2tb wd black ssd for ps5. I don't see the reason to buy 1tb ssd, as ps5 already has 1tb internal memory.
Caveat if you want higher speeds you have to do the firmware update.
$120 for 1TB and $180 for 2TB.
Gonna wait for Black Friday/Christmas sales.
I just bought this SSD I got the 2tb for $189 it's still on sale if anyone wants to buy it. It was just delivered yesterday I will put it in my ps5 today after work
2:37 You ok ? 😬
I'm finally about to get a ps5
No one even noticed. That there a convenient department for the SSD. Yet as much as you pay for one of these PS5's. How come no one is pointing out. That the PS5 should of already came with it. PlayStation planed this from the beginning. Witch is form of entrapment. They built the place for the component yet they did not put it in. It is not an upgrade it is a missing part. If it is not a missing part. Then why is they had convent compartment made just for the SSD to fit in perfect. and especially if the compartment is only made for the SSD. Then they planned to entrap all of there customers from the beginning. This should be a recall not an upgrade. It be like Ferrari
selling you a Ferrari Testarossa
with a Ford Engine in it. yet they left everything thing to put Ferrari Testarossa
right in no problem. At the same time Ferrari would sell you the Ferrari Testarossa
engine and call it an upgrade. It is double dipping & entrapment. You gamers are stupid. I will stick to my pc it runs faster and better then a game console any day of the week.
For UK customers the wd black sn850x 1tb on amazon is 99.99 with heatsink.
Do you need to update the firmware on these to get full speed or does it come with the updated firmware
Just bought 2T 980 Pro on Amazon just cost me $164.99
Thanks for the video. I don't think I need this upgrade. I don't play that many games simultaneous, and my internet and Son'y servers are so fast that I can just delete what I'm not playing and download a huge game in minutes.
Sooo uhhh anyone else had the problem where when you screw the mounting screw down, the screw strips and now the ssd is stuck?? 😬
OMFG - THANK YOU!
I just brought the WD stick but I'm returning it so I can save $70.
For someone who's never added anything to any system. Can you please explain to me what this does?
Just bought this 2tb for 180 bucks with heatsink from Newegg
1 TB NVMe SSD is nothing considering how many PS5 games are coming out this year and more next year 2023 At this point I simply have 70 PS5 games not even 2 TB NVMe SSD is still not enough I need a 4 TB NVMe SSD And as of right now the cheapest one I can find is Seagate firecuda 4 TB NVMe SSD Samsung and WD black are way too overpriced 🤦♂️
I got the same 2tb one on sale.. I can’t wait to install it n get all my Black Friday games loaded up xD
When they get under $80 then it will be worth it to me.
I'm going full tilt! Right now Amazon has the Samsung 980 2TB on sale for $189. I only want to do this once and the extra $70 is worth doubling my storage... YAY!!!
Good to know.. even though I don't own a PS5.. 😁
As I guy who has been working in the semiconductor industry since 1998, let me tell you that memory prices are more volatile than oil, USD or stock exchange in general. So it's not like Samsung "decided" to lower it , it's the market that creates the biggest portion of the margin.
A year ago was the WORST electronics shortage ever...some chips were 10 times their normal price level, due to pandemic and total lockdown in China. I had to renegotiate every order with my customers...total nightmare...some manufacturers called us into virtual meetings with our competition and we had to start a bidding war...
Got the 2TB with heatsink around February for less than $300.
I bought the firecuda 530 (Beskar Ingot Edition) for a stupid price. Kinda regretting that now I see this SSD coming down in price 😂😅
Sorry if this is a stupid question… what benefit does this upgrade add?
I had to take my Samsung ssd and plug it in to a computer to update the firmware before I started seeing speeds better than 5500.
Bro complains about £150 SSD while I was out here buying a 4TB £450 SSD
They have some here in China made ones at 4TB for the same price. I may pick one up for Crisis Core, moving games I barely play to the SSD in case it blows up our mansion building.
I bought this same ssd fpr some hours ago when it came to sale. Bought it for 100$
I believed 1 TB only is not worth it to upgrade for open internal consul , I have 4TB SSD mostly full games I wish if there is 8TB SSD ☺️
Just bought a 1Tb 980 Pro without heatsink for 89€ (~89$). Dang those prices came down fast.
I bought my Western digital m.2 1 TB SSD on Black Friday so now I’m ready to go yes 👍
Very informative … because I’m preparing to buy one myself
I have to say I am not that impressed with the one I installed. Considering replacing it with either the new WD Black (x) or the Samsung 990 pro.
Oh god, you're tearing me up glasscock!
I’ve had the FireCuda 530 1Tb for many months now and I paid $200 for it.
I've got the 980 pro 2tb. Heatsink included... Was quite a pricey unit!
