In today's video, I'll be showing you how to add more storage to your PS5 console by installing an M.2 SSD! In a recent update Sony finally gave us the ability to add M.2s to expand our PS5's storage capacity. The process for installing an M.2 can look complicated but in this tutorial I'll make the process simple and easy to understand so expanding your storage is a breeze. I'll also cover which SSDs are compatible with the PS5 as well as the best M.2 to use.
