do you need to do anything special when you boot ps5 pro for it to recognise the m.2 drive when you install a brand new m.2 drive it will ask you to format it will this also happen with a m.2 drive you have taking out of your old ps5 slim? i dont want to loose all my games on the m.2
Sorry. I don’t think I understand what was said about the SSD in terms of memory transfer. If I take what ever is in my old ps5 and transfer it to the ssd that I will be putting in the pro . Will I not be able to transfer it from the ssd to the new console once installed ?
Sorry if that's a bit confusing. Any PS5 games already on the M.2 will be readable by the PS5 Pro, and you can transfer them across to the internal storage, if you want. I was mentioning the data transfer utility in settings that runs across ethernet/WiFi. That will only move user data and games on the internal storage, and you cannot select games from an M.2 using that.
I think (think) it looks the same, so as long as it's the standard shape, it should be OK. Fire an email at Sabrent if you want an official word though.
What read and write speed do you need for the PS5 pro? I bought a power x SSD m.2 drive I don't feel like it performs quite as well as the internal drive
You should aim for 5,500Mbps read. That's the guideline from Sony, and should be more than good enough for most games. I'm wasn't familiar with PowerX until now, but it looks like their NVME drives are only up to 2,000Mbps read.
Can anyone recommend an ssd drive for the ps5 pro that does not overheat ? I’ve tried a couple different ones on my ps5 & they would overheat without the addition of a USB fan the plugs into the back of the console & I also had to have a fan blasting right in front of it . If I did not do that , it would overheat after about two hours , maybe an hour & a half give or take . Can’t remember the brand off hand but I can take a peek if anyone’s interested in the ones I’ve tried out .
What do you think we are, rocket surgeons?!
Brain scientists, the lot of you!
Great Video, I might upgrade my PS5 Slim Eventually, But i am looking forward to the release of ZX Spectrum for £89 instead of £700 for PS5 pro👍
will pulling an nvme populated with games from ps5 to a pro just work?
Brilliant - thank you. Do you need to format the drive before moving? After?
No. You will need to update the ps5 pro before though before it can use your ssd. But don’t worry it won’t reformat your ssd and wipe all your games.
So, do I update my new ps5 pro before putting in the ssd or do I put in the ssd first then update the ps5 pro?
You should update all consoles first.
Thank you very much!!!

Nothing special. The PS5 Pro will do a database rebuild, but it's pretty similar to taking a USB HDD from one console to another.

Is the cover plate the same on the pro? I have a sabrent heatsink that replaces the cover plate. Can I use this on the pro?

LOL great decision AJJJ
What is the maximum storage of SSD that I can install in PS5 Pro?
Sony supports up to 8TB, and I think that's pretty much the biggest NVMe drive you can get right now.
