What’s the protocol for upgrading your PS5’s SSD?
1) Get a compatible m.2 pcie gen 4 ssd, preferably with heatsink
2) slide the plates off
3) unscrew the ssd compartment cover
4) plug in the ssd
5) put everything back on
6) start the ps5, it'll go through some menus and format the ssd to the ps5 file system

Done, post-install you can also go into the system settings and change the default game installation location if you want.

Looks fine.
I like it way more than another boring black box. So good on that.
Original is a bit classier looking but it's ok.

Now you will be able to replace broken disc drive or add one to digital. That's good news for physical gamers.

The only downside is no usb A on the front. I use it for pulse 3d dongle which I switch often between ps5 and pc... but I've heard new pulse elite will support switching between multiple dongles

I bet they're going to use the old standard ps5 form factor for the pro console

Is there a specific SSD everyone gets or should any do?

Anything that's pcie gen 4 with the m.2 form factor, preferably read speeds > ~5500mb/s, there's a bunch of ssds with >7000mb/s read speed that should give you peace of mind.

Hmm is that to actual scale?

Cause that would be a decent drop in size for the height.

I straight away assumed the 30% would be them just taking the total shrinkage in all dimensions and height wouldn't change too much.
It is officially 32mm (3.2cm) smaller in height.

Leakers well leaked some render of what was the new PS5 Slim model.
All fake.

The only leaker that got it right was that one.



I won't give credits to fake leakers but these are the supposed Slim.

These leakers are all idiots lol. Sony is following the PS5 design with all of its products this gen. Every single product is ps5 design coded. From the console to PSVR2, they want you to know that product belongs to ps5 family, it’s smart design. They would never completely overhaul the ps5 design because of it.

Lets be honest, when has a slim version ever looked better than the default version? I can count one time (XBO) and thats only because the original was awful. Other than that its always a step ip in utility, a step down in function.

Fake edit: Okay, maybe the model 2 Genesis was prettier, though less utile.

I think PS3 Slim looked better than original Fat.
