It was SO convenient that my existing games carried over without any issue. Only warning was that astros playroom was located on both the M2 and the Pro internal so i had to delete one. Saved me from re-i stalling over 3TB of games.
@mystic can u make a up to date video on ur ultimate ps3 n see how the console is running n also some extra jailbreak mods you can do to keep the 90nm rsx cooler
You are right for informing others. But for this very particular Samsung M.2 SSD shown in the video, it already has heatsink attached. I know because I have the same thing.
🎵SSD, SSD, SSD, SSD...🎵; I will never not think of that from Astro's Playroom whenever I heard SSD, because it's just so fun and playful and it's just Team Asobi showing how much love they have for not just PlayStation but just video games in general❤😄💖
Thank you for this video! It’s good to know that if you have an M.2 SSD on a PS5 already, you can just remove it and place it in the PS5 Pro without having to reformat! I ordered my PS5 Pro and I should get it this week
Love seeing Ryan make these videos because of how many people it will help in the future (you're allowed to make a joke about how nobody is buying the Pro, but you know what I mean).
Did you notice the new M.2 cover is different from the Launch PS5? I was swapping my 4TB from the old one to the pro and noticed that the old Sabrent Heatsink cover will fit on the Pro. But the Pro's cover will not fit on the old PS5.
It's was seamless. I was afraid I would have to format my internal SSD before being able to use it on my new Pro, but nope. Removed it and all games in it simply worked on the new PRo, no need to redownload everything again. Same with my external ssd
What is the differencve between WD_BLACK SN850X 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD and WD_BLACK SN850P 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD ? One is made for ps5 and the other doesn't have the ps5 logo. What are the differences between them and why call one P and the the X? IS it P because it's got the playstation logo?
Dear Ryan - When Sony unlocking M2 SSD upgrade on base PS5 in fall of 2021 - they called "Standoff" - a "Spacer" in their official installation tutorials vids. 😁
Good to know if I transfer an SSD from my OG PS5 it's plug and play. Haven't decided if I want to upgrade yet but good to know if I ever see a good deal
Is the screw at 0:24 still ridiculously tight on the Pro? A few years ago I nearly stripped my OG PS5 screw because it was on way too tight (and yes I used the correct size screwdriver)
Is that why they cut the covers In half on the pro and slim for easier access because that looked a lot easier to take the pro plates off than DAY 1 ps5
Hi, could you please help me? My PS5 Pro has a problem. When I connect it to Wi-Fi, the internet is very slow. I’m not sure if the issue is with my router or my PS5 Pro. What should I do? Many thanks!
The standoff! I took my ssd out because I'm giving my PS5 to a friend when I put it all back together there was the sound of something rattling around... it's got to be the stand off I forgot to screw back down. Douh!
I installed an M.2 into my standard PS5 and used a heat sync do I not need the heat sync with the pro as its not mentioned in this or any other video I've seen
I did exactly this when I went from my slim to my pro. But my old slim console is still attached to my psn account. Everytime I use my portal I now have to choose which console to use. It's so annoying!
Fair warning to everyone since I really messed up. I was going too quick and I accidentally put the standoff on top of the ssd at first and it completely bricked my ssd and it is no longer able to format.
when I was putting in a ssd in my normal ps5 I heard the sound of the screw while moving it until I realized that its because I put it in like a flash drive instead I have to tilt it
This is crazy. I purchased the OG and then upgraded the internal storage. Bought an extra external hd because I ran out of internal memory. Bought a PlayStation portal as a companion console. Like, sony is really taking advantage of consumers. Now they want to release this😂 what do I do with the ssd I put in my old one? Not sure if I removed the one that came with it and swapped or if I just added more memory to it😒
Considering the extra storage by default. My excuse to buy the Pro is that. LITERALLY THAT! I’m not an American and the 2 TB would more or less already make the difference between the regular PS5 and the Pro. If you’re an American that can get a 2 TB SSD for the price of a McDonalds burger. Then I see why the other features such as PSSR are more important for the selling point. But enough of the American shaming… since I know many of them and how they talk big about spec but haven’t even bothered to get a 4K TV which is a must for a self proclaimed graphics addict.
I would asume so since we didn't hear anything regarding that. But 9.8TB should be enough :D And you could also just add extern drive on it for PS4 games or just storage.
I just installed and I am running with a 4TB M.2, which seems like a cost/space balance. Pretty much all my games fit in 6TB of space. Anything I don't want, I can store/backup on my Seagate 5TB game drive.
If it fits in other PS5 models, it fits here too. If it says it was designed for the PS5, it'll fit. I have a sabrent heatsink designed for PS5, from a few years ago, and it fit perfectly.
It's AMAZING you can just take out a SSD from your other PS5 & put it in another PS5 & it will work 👍 I'm sure you couldn't do that in the PS4/3 days with their Hard drives + it would be COOL if you could swap the PS5 SSD into a PS6 when that comes out to 👍 DO IT SONY!!! :D

It’s incredibly easy I transferred my firecuda from my launch model to the pro in 2 mins. The console has been incredible so far.
Melissa didn't wanna be in this one either. But I'm pretty sure she was sleeping on the floor right near this.
@mystic can u make a up to date video on ur ultimate ps3 n see how the console is running n also some extra jailbreak mods you can do to keep the 90nm rsx cooler
Why would you do this to yourself man ? Ps5 pro waste of $... At this point, just build a great gaming PC for the same price. 😂😂😂
Some people have money because they have this thing called a job? @@ajsingh4545
Transferring a M.2 SSD from another PS5 is plug and play? That's awesome!
Make sure you have a heatsink too!
why
@Kiwi_2k24 The nvme ssd gets hot, a heatsink helps to stop it overheating. If it gets too hot the speed gets throttled.
@@strangevision99 speed doesn't throttle. the console will actually shut down after displaying "Your PS5 is too hot" message.
You are right for informing others. But for this very particular Samsung M.2 SSD shown in the video, it already has heatsink attached. I know because I have the same thing.
@@gameskyjumper1721 Yes, some have heat sinks built in, others come packaged with them, but you can still easily buy one without.

This looks even easier with the smaller panels. 😮
Nice tutorial! Sony better hire you!
@oxyg3n246 I hope they do very good step by step video.
I've always thought that too.
They'd be smart to make him the official PS news reporter!
Here’s to hoping they will fingers crossed. 🤞
Mystic Ryan has 800k subscribers but smh $ony refuse to show some love, they never send our dude review units...not cool Sony
Short but clear tutorial. Thanks to ryan and melissa.
I just installed one a few weeks ago knowing I will need it for the new grand theft auto 1-10 years from now. Crazy how nice and easy it was !
Thanks for these Vids Mystic. Especially how to get those plates off.
Thank you for this video! It’s good to know that if you have an M.2 SSD on a PS5 already, you can just remove it and place it in the PS5 Pro without having to reformat! I ordered my PS5 Pro and I should get it this week
Finally a detailed video. Wasn’t sure about that screw sleeve, thank you!
Thanks for reporting on the plug-n-play aspect. Love to hear it
Love seeing Ryan make these videos because of how many people it will help in the future (you're allowed to make a joke about how nobody is buying the Pro, but you know what I mean).
Thanks for uploading this however, just a little too late as i installed mine earlier this morning 😅
Nice upgrade job!
I did not know the SSDs would retain the games saved from one console to the next. That's very handy
Did you notice the new M.2 cover is different from the Launch PS5? I was swapping my 4TB from the old one to the pro and noticed that the old Sabrent Heatsink cover will fit on the Pro. But the Pro's cover will not fit on the old PS5.
Do one for the vertical stand

How is the screw this time round, is it still made out of butter?

Make sure you get the one with heatsink

Is the screw at 0:24 still ridiculously tight on the Pro? A few years ago I nearly stripped my OG PS5 screw because it was on way too tight (and yes I used the correct size screwdriver)
I just changed the nvme from my PS5 Phat to the Pro and I didn't notice it being very tight.
Was confused to see the SSD cover slightly slanted on mine but looks to be the same on yours too, by design?
Hey. I'm going to sell my PS5 base to day. Do i need to delete all the games on the second SSD? I don't need that, I see? Going to use it on the pro.
323 platinums dam
13 plats so far.
14 imminent too 2 points campus.
Are the speeds any different?
I wonder if my Sabrent SSD heatsink will fit. It was designed for the OG fat PS5.
It will as long as it's ps5 compatible.
I tested and it does fit. However, oddly, the Pro M.2 cover will not fit in the Launch PS5.
@@MTNRanger it's shaped differently. The one on Pro looks to be same as a slim.
@@izhanshafiq324 Oh, so the slim changed the shape. I didn't know that. Honestly there is no reason for them to change the shape.
it uses the same ssd that works in the ps5's.
Thank you.
May Allah bless you
What’s the best ssd for ps5? Finally thinking of getting a 4tb or 5tb
Can you add an additional SSD to the 2tb that comes with it so for example another 2tb so you have 4tb?
Is that why they cut the covers In half on the pro and slim for easier access because that looked a lot easier to take the pro plates off than DAY 1 ps5
Hi, could you please help me?
My PS5 Pro has a problem. When I connect it to Wi-Fi, the internet is very slow. I’m not sure if the issue is with my router or my PS5 Pro. What should I do?
Many thanks!
The standoff! I took my ssd out because I'm giving my PS5 to a friend when I put it all back together there was the sound of something rattling around... it's got to be the stand off I forgot to screw back down. Douh!
Is the SSD door same size as original?
So what if your saved content along with progress % and trophies show up but the saved game won’t load
I installed an M.2 into my standard PS5 and used a heat sync do I not need the heat sync with the pro as its not mentioned in this or any other video I've seen
The most shocking thing about this video is that Mystic has the Abandoned application installed on the console...
I did exactly this when I went from my slim to my pro. But my old slim console is still attached to my psn account. Everytime I use my portal I now have to choose which console to use. It's so annoying!
Fair warning to everyone since I really messed up. I was going too quick and I accidentally put the standoff on top of the ssd at first and it completely bricked my ssd and it is no longer able to format.
Marijuana? Alcohol? Combination of both?
@ lol I wish, it was actually that I was multitasking and my potatoes were burning in the oven
is ps5 pro compatible with gen5 yet
when I was putting in a ssd in my normal ps5 I heard the sound of the screw while moving it until I realized that its because I put it in like a flash drive instead I have to tilt it
What size screwdriver works for this?

Thanks & go meows. 👍🏽👌🏾👍🏽
So it's basically the same as for the slim.
Considering the extra storage by default.
My excuse to buy the Pro is that. LITERALLY THAT!

You are making no sense. How much does a 1TB nvme cost where you are? $300 or 150?
Under 90 seconds - Microsoft, take note!
Hello, has anyone experienced a drop in frame rate when playing either Mortal kombat XL or Mortal Kombat 11 on their ps5
So i wanna know is max to expand still only 8tb plus the 2tb it comes with?
I would asume so since we didn't hear anything regarding that. But 9.8TB should be enough :D And you could also just add extern drive on it for PS4 games or just storage.
up to 12TB
I just installed and I am running with a 4TB M.2, which seems like a cost/space balance. Pretty much all my games fit in 6TB of space. Anything I don't want, I can store/backup on my Seagate 5TB game drive.
Brand new "Pro" console and you need to upgrade the SSD?
Just like buying a new car and getting accessories or tinted windows! Not needed, but nice to have.
uhmm, no?
its not an upgrade , its a 2nd additional hard drive slot. the base ps5 has this too.
I had an error and had to format my whole drive, why couldn’t it have been simple?!?!?!?
👍😇🤝😇👍
Do you know if the Saberent Custom Heatsink fits in this?
If it fits in other PS5 models, it fits here too. If it says it was designed for the PS5, it'll fit.
I have a sabrent heatsink designed for PS5, from a few years ago, and it fit perfectly.
I tested and the Sabrent heatsink does fit. However, oddly, the Pro M.2 cover will not fit in the launch PS5.
@@MTNRanger thank you for checking
@@strangevision99 awesome good to hear picking my pro up on monday
The fan shroud lines up because I read the Elecgear one doesn't?
Anyone has any ideas about transferring data from an m.2 to the new PS5 pro?
I popped my launch PS5's SSD into the Pro and it worked with no issues. As long as you have the same account on both systems, it works.
If you’re gonna buy a Pro you better do it before the tariffs kick in. Analysts are saying it could cost well over $1,000 after Trump takes over.
Tariff or no tariff, it isn’t worth it
not true , its the same as he had before when he was president , tech prices were not changed , i wouldn't be shocked if tech is still not effected.
That’s not going to happen. The US doesn’t manufacture consoles so it makes no sense for tariffs to effect console prices.

do you still have to reformat even if your SSD has already been formatted and used in another PS5?
No

I was hoping they'd put quick-resume, or something like it, on the pro.
Bro’s gonna post a tutorial on how to plug in the power cord next😂😂
🤦🏻♂️ milking the algorithm
By leaving that comment you're part of the milking process
you added to the algorithm and now spawned 2 additional comments That have added to it as well. Nice job 👍
Not making$$$ on woke games, then you have $699 without disc drive
Please read the Qur'an instead, no amount of PS5 pro could stop you from dying.
