I’ve been searching everywhere for a video that was clear about whether or not you can run ps5 games directly from the Sn850 internal storage THANK YOU!!!
I thought it didn't fit but when i saw you struggling to get it in and it wouldn't lay flat until you put screw in. Im like oooooohhh its supposed to go that was lol. Thanks do much super helpful video
that's great, then just to know and ask, I learned that you can load ps5 and ps4 games and that they run twice as fast on that memory that you show us. That would be great to be able to have the ability to download the ps4 library next to the ps5 and be able to play all the games directly from the WD Black.
Thanks PAB nice video. I finally finish my setup for my small console collection I show you on Twitter I’ll pot pictures soon. Still need to work on the cable management.
Yes, I saw the pics, it looks great! Send me the link on twitter whenever you upload the video. Thank you for your support, have you installed the WD SN850 SSD in your PS5 yet?
Got it in today, super easy, thanks for the video! Is it better or faster to run games from the WD Black or the internal ssd or about the same? I got a speed of a little over 6000 mb per second or something
Thank you for not just showing the physical/manual installation and actually showing turning on ps5, formatting AND showing how you use it!! 👍 only needed this 1 video and didnt need to find any further information! Ive never opened a console except to dust, so i was very nervous about doing this! 😅 i never knew it was THIS simple! Instant follow from me, stranger. Great tutorial!! 🤙🫶🏻💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
*SOLVED the spacer was needed readjusting.* I already got a new drive and the connection seems fine. Are there any other problems that could be causing this? Our first one was detected but couldn't format fully.
I bought this and I installed it in my PlayStation 5 .. what do I do after I install it I turned on my system and I don't see any extra storage anywhere is there something I have to do
i just bought wd sn850x and install pcie 4 port, but when i transfer data hard disk to nvmv sn 850x ssd data transfer only 115-120 mbps speed.. if i check speed on crystalcinebench its show 7000mbps read or 6900 write.. dont know where is the problem. can you tell me how to fix this issue ?? system i7 13700k mobo gigabyte z790 ud ax 9 (bios updated) 16 gb ddr5 5200mhz ram
I just bought my PlayStation a month ago and there is no green spacer as indicated in all of these how-to videos. So maybe the new systems have changed ? Did you get it figured out
So if i buy the WD - BLACK SN850X will it let me play ps4 and ps5 games because my external hard drive only allows me to play ps4 games. And will i be able to keep my external plugged in as i have the m.2 installed?
@@PABGamesso I just brought a brand spanking now ssd drive the second one might I add because the first one wasn’t being detected and now this one isn’t being detected but it worked the first time and when I put it in now there wiggle room for the ssd I have no I dead what to do I’ve tried everything
With your ps5 on it's side make sure your ps5's disk drive face up. Then hold onto the top left corner and push to the right, so that the disk drive face place is moving right.
Your games are saved on your original SSD that is in your PS5 (as it comes from factory). If you add an additional SSD to expand your storage as I show in this video, then you can move games from your original PS5 storage to the expanded storage that you added following this guide.
After formatting the M.2 It showed me read speed 6534 MB/s is there something wrong with my ssd ? I was expecting 7300 as it was mentioned on amazon.. I got SN850X
I just got mine from the WD store and Has any one had a problem where it stops at 13% and then says can’t format. It’s brand new ? I don’t have computer to see if it works. Any ideas.?
@@jakh5818 update 2 weeks later after returning the WD to the main store got my money back. Bought another one from Best Buy and it worked, week later it starting to act up. So I return it and I’m going to try different brand and see how that goes but I’m going to buy with warranty.
Yes! You can play games you store DIRECTLY from this ssd drive. 💜 it's not like an external hard drive in that aspect! I feel having to still put the game in the ps5 storage to play it and only able to be storage was so pointless.. like, buying more storage is usually because we don't got storage for more games on the ps5 itself. I was so mad when I found out after trying to use the external drive I got.. and I got 2 of them at once bc my husband and I both each have our own ps5... 🤣🙃💀💀 I'm super happy they came out with this option.. because imo, for the price of a ps5, and considering the memory games need just to start, not even bringing up the updates required to continue to play a game is a lot! Like a computer, installing, erasing, installing, erasing and so on, you don't actually delete it all. there's residual files every time you uninstall a game so eventually, there's gonna be NO room for ANY games. Unlike a computer you can't access that to truly delete the crap. 😂😂 should have come with much bigger storage amount than just over 0.6gb (the system files and such to set up the ps5 and account info uses a lot to start, taking almost half of what the ps5 starts with!! 😳😅 Sony kinda irked me on this shite (Sry this is long.. )

Of course you can man

Super easy to install. The WD 850p 2T is a perfect fit. Now I have just under 3T of space!!!
I just bought the wd black sn850 SSD w/heatsink for my new ps5 and am waiting for Amazon to drop it off now. Will keep you informed!
Awesome! It’s a simple installation and then you’ll enjoy more games as you will have more space
Thank you for making this video and showing people how to move games over as well as installation. Good video

Thanks for taking it step by step and thoroughly describing what you were doing! Major help since I’ve never done this before
What kind of screwdriver did you use? I can’t find a size that fits and I don’t want to strip it
Thanks PAB nice video. I finally finish my setup for my small console collection I show you on Twitter I’ll pot pictures soon. Still need to work on the cable management.

I'm gonna go with seagate ssd 2 tb drive haven't had any issues with seagate in my ps3 and ps4 so I'm gonna stick with that
Got it in today, super easy, thanks for the video! Is it better or faster to run games from the WD Black or the internal ssd or about the same? I got a speed of a little over 6000 mb per second or something
Purchased! Thank you so much!!

Thank you, glad I was able to help
How often do you play your PS5? I barley play mine and it’s dusty, house is always clean. What ways to you use to clean it?
I just bought one of them but which screwdriver and what size should I use to do it I just need help. Thank you so much
Installed mine. Just like this but my ps5 is not recognizing the drive.
My PS5 won't recognize the drive. Any info on fixing the issue
It might be a defective SSD or the connection is lose. Double check the connection, if not, try to replace the SSD and try a different one.
*SOLVED the spacer was needed readjusting.* I already got a new drive and the connection seems fine. Are there any other problems that could be causing this? Our first one was detected but couldn't format fully.
I just stripped the screw and now can't even get the card into the spot 😢
I bought this and I installed it in my PlayStation 5 .. what do I do after I install it I turned on my system and I don't see any extra storage anywhere is there something I have to do
Just got mine, but only the 500gb one without the first party heatsink. I got a third party one instead
Nice! Thanks for watching. The heat sink being part of the WD Black SN850 is one of the main reasons I love it, it’s so easy to install.
i just bought wd sn850x and install pcie 4 port, but when i transfer data hard disk to nvmv sn 850x ssd data transfer only 115-120 mbps speed.. if i check speed on crystalcinebench its show 7000mbps read or 6900 write.. dont know where is the problem. can you tell me how to fix this issue ??

Hi there. Do you need to transfer data of the transferred game if you want to play it? Like when your using an external hard drive?
You can save room by transferring the games from the original PS5 SSD to this expansion SSD.
And my ps5 is not all the way green like yours when you open it up where you put the drive in too idk that’s bad or not it came that way??
I just bought my PlayStation a month ago and there is no green spacer as indicated in all of these how-to videos. So maybe the new systems have changed ? Did you get it figured out
@@bobbyg460 yea new ps5s use brail dots instead of the green part because people kept scratching it which broke the ps5 🤣
Pretty idea if i copy it for save wizard then back to it again ..
Incredible.
I got the same one and is over the screw so I can’t screw In
So if i buy the WD - BLACK SN850X will it let me play ps4 and ps5 games because my external hard drive only allows me to play ps4 games. And will i be able to keep my external plugged in as i have the m.2 installed?
Yes, you can install PS4 and PS5 games on it. And yes you can still have the external drive connected via USB.
@@PABGamesso I just brought a brand spanking now ssd drive the second one might I add because the first one wasn’t being detected and now this one isn’t being detected but it worked the first time and when I put it in now there wiggle room for the ssd I have no I dead what to do I’ve tried everything
I can’t figure out how to remove the lid 😏
With your ps5 on it's side make sure your ps5's disk drive face up. Then hold onto the top left corner and push to the right, so that the disk drive face place is moving right.
Then it should work.
I installed it, but the ps5 is not showing it or coming up with the prompt in your video...what do i do now? Take it apart again?
restart ps5
How do I remove the cover from ps5
Will this LED do anything in a PS5? Can u see any color lights?
No you won’t see the LEDs
Mines won’t connect for some reason
Mine won't go too the format screen
Have you had any issues with ps5 being slow ?
No I haven’t
@@PABGames I jst installed it today I’m playing warzone but it might be the servers
@PAB Games it won't format it for me any help
Where do I need to have the games saved at to do this?
Your games are saved on your original SSD that is in your PS5 (as it comes from factory). If you add an additional SSD to expand your storage as I show in this video, then you can move games from your original PS5 storage to the expanded storage that you added following this guide.
By chance does it make a noise like more powerful idk how to explain the noise lol
I don’t notice a difference in noise in my console after adding this SSD.
After formatting the M.2 It showed me read speed 6534 MB/s is there something wrong with my ssd ? I was expecting 7300 as it was mentioned on amazon.. I got SN850X
You can update the drive with the WD software to get the rated speed but you need a Windows PC to do it.
It doesn’t need an update when installing in the PS5.
I just got mine from the WD store and Has any one had a problem where it stops at 13% and then says can’t format. It’s brand new ? I don’t have computer to see if it works. Any ideas.?
Might be a defective unit, may want to return it and replace
@@PABGames yea already did new one should come in today
YEP! I had the same issue I just got a new one today and it worked.
@@jakh5818 update 2 weeks later after returning the WD to the main store got my money back. Bought another one from Best Buy and it worked, week later it starting to act up. So I return it and I’m going to try different brand and see how that goes but I’m going to buy with warranty.
What about the digital version?
It’s the same process
Diego Costa 👌
Can you play games off it?

What kind of screwdriver is the small 1
Yea Because I’m having a issue for that
A computer screwdriver kit like the Ifixit, will have the correct screw bit for M.2
I can’t take my top part off the PlayStation
bro does it work on ps4
No the PS4 does not support m.2 nvme gen4 SSDs.
Im nervous when i put the ssd in i will break jt or bend it
This thing doesn’t work
What doesn’t work? Your SSD or your PS5? What’s the issue you’re having?
