This video covers installing a compatible SSD with heatsink in a PlayStation 5. At the time of creating this video, there were only 3 confirmed compatible SSDs that I was aware of. I went with the SN850 Western Digital Black version since I'm really used to that brand. I also didn't mention it in the video, but you CAN buy one without a heatsink, if you can find a compatible 80mm heatsink to put on it. This software was also only available in Beta at the time of making this video. when the full release comes out, please use the Video Index below the video to skip right to the install section.

Here's a link to the SSD I got, you can select the "With Heatsink" option. I'm betting these are going to be very hard to come by soon, so might want to act fast if you're on the fence: https://amzn.to/3fCNYdo

The electronic opener tool kit I use: https://amzn.to/3lGUMuu (it's only $10 right now! total deal)
