With the launch of the next-gen consoles, players on PlayStation and Xbox can finally enjoy lightning-fast loading times and other benefits of an SSD. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One still used a slow HDD. Sony also announced at launch that it would later be possible to upgrade the SSD in your PS5 and since October that has become possible.
Not all SSDs only work with the PlayStation 5 – for example, you also need a heatstink to ensure that the SSD does not get too hot – and the drives are not exactly cheap. For example, for an SSD with a size of 1TB you will quickly lose more than 200 euros or even more. Fortunately, at bol.com you can now take advantage of a great promotion to upgrade your SSD cheaply.
How do you install the new PS5 SSD?
Once you’ve bought an SSD for your PS5, installing your new storage is a breeze. First, of course, it is important to remove all cables from your PlayStation 5. Next you need to remove the right plate from the console. It should release quickly if you put a little pressure on it.
Behind the plate you will see a small gray picture next to the large fan. Unscrew this and then click your new SSD with heatsink into the empty slot† You can then use the screw that you just removed to secure the loose side of the SSD in your PS5. Then put the record back on the console and enjoy your extra storage!
