How do I update the firmware for a ssd that I buy?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
So you advise to wait until the beta is over and Sony is 100 percent sure which ones are compatible
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I think Sony isn’t putting out a list so they won’t so preference to any brands. A lot companies are saying their SSDs are supported by the PS5 but many news outlets keep claiming these ssds, such as the firecuda are officially branded by Sony.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
By the way thank you for all your videos. It was a great help.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Do I have to let the ps5 up date first before I install it? Because at the moment it’s telling me to remove.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Hey mate. I’ve been watching a lot of your PS5 stuff and I feel like a remember you going over the Viper VP4300 but can’t find it. What is your honest opinion on it for those who can’t fork out or get a firecuda? Thanks
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
????????????????????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
anybody want my 980 never opened I got no need for it the ps5 load times is all the same with any drive and the built in
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Just to let everyone know, seating your SSD make take multiple attempts to get it installed proper. It took me 4 try’s before my PS5
recognized the M.2 drive.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
The firmware update is Live in the UK. ????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thanks to your awesome channel and testing I settled on the 530 Firecuda 2TB with the EKWB heatsink, and it arrives tomorrow just in time for the update going live , shit yeah!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Good morning friend, I’m your subscriber and with great pleasure because you have helped me a lot with your tips and reviews, I waited for today to see if the new ps5 update was available and it had , installed it now hoping to buy the Internal NVMe SSD . Hugs and wish you all the best.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Does the Aorus 7000 fit in with the cover on?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Got 2 of the 2tb SN850 after watching the reviews here. My PS5’S should be happy for a while, Cant wait! Just pre ordered deluxe edition of Kena and death stranding director’s cut to celebrate. ????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thank you for your balanced approach and fair presentation regarding this topic, Keep up the stellar work.????????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Please retest the samsung 980 pro. I haven’t cracked the seal on mine yet until I know Sony didn’t blacklist it in the final firmware.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I was waiting for that. Thank you for the podcast
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Yes!! I’ve been waiting all of your videos and waiting on this update.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I went with the 1tb WD SN850 with heat sink.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
It’s the 15th an there is No beta download an no update!!!! WTF
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Hey NAS, new to the channel so forgive me if this question has already been answered…if I have a launch ps5 disc edition are the heatsinks more suitable to newer ps5 releases? Only because I’ve heard they changed the size In the newer ones?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question I’m pretty new to this topic area in relation to the ps5…

$ony 只對自家營銷感興趣、他不想和任何牌子的SSD顆粒惹上麻煩和官司????✌️

i think updates drop around 10AM BST i might be wrong if any one was wondering
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I went also with WD SN850. Cerny’s comment as well as your tests helped
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
So glad I don’t have a ps5 yet for multiple reasons, 1. The launch model was a prototype. 2. The system will be updated and optimised when I get one. 3. I’ll be able to get ps5 games cheaper.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
you have really help us alot on the choice of ssd to buy.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I waited for this moment for like 2 months. Finally
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I purchased a 2tb Samsung 980, as well as a heat sink, 3 months ago, in anticipation.
I’ve had a lot of people make fun of me, but after the abysmal release of the PS5, I wasn’t about to pay $1,000 for an SSD.
Besides that, if Sony had dropped support for certain SSDs, and the Samsung was amongst the ones not supported, I was going to throw it in my editing desktop, which already has a 2tb Samsung 980 as the boot drive.
This is like the night before Christmas! For me anyway… LOL!!!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I bought a Samsung two weeks ago and I’m glad I did because I was not able to get a fire Cuda because the prices have already been dripping up and that was two weeks ago after some videos you have done now the prices are insane
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thanks for the comments this morning, got me excited
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Is this Thursday in Australia?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I went with the SN850. I bought it a few weeks ago. I was hoping to be invited to the Beta program so I could jump on board a bit earlier but no such luck. Looking forward to installing it tomorrow!
Side note: I’ve watched most of your videos and it really bugs me the way you pronounce Sabrent ????. Isn’t it pronounced “say-brent”?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thanks for all the videos during the beta, it’s been a massive help in deciding what SSD to get for my PS5.
I wanted a 2tb but ended up going for the WD SN850 Black 1tb because it was only £130 on Amazon.
Unfortunately I have my SSD in hand but no heatsink yet! ???? Can’t wait to get it installed.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I love how you show you read the comments but just don’t answer anyone, great job
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Got my 4tb firecuda rdy an waiting
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thanks for your thorough vids concerning the topic.
Than again, now I sit here with a firecuda 530, costing nearly the same as the ps5….
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Subscribed. I got the 980 Samsung 1TB from a Best Buy sale. Got a $15 heat sink from amazon with good reviews. Thanks for keeping us informed. ????????????????????????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Is the adata s70 blade a good option? Found 1tb for 140$ +tax which is super cheap .. I wondering why.. so,e love it some had dead on arrival or dead a month or 2 later and some not getting advertised speed or close to them I don’t know if it’s adata bait and switch stuff again or other limiting factor but it’s 60$ cheaper the the aorus 7000 … the aorus nvme 4 copper is like 159$ but has read of only 5000 but people supposedly using it and ps5 reading at 5600
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thanks for all the testing and your provided info about the compatible SSD’s.
I bought the WD 850 2TB and am eager to finally installing it tomorrow because I really need more internal storage.
Ps,maybe Sony will provide a official compatible SSD list when the firmware goes live?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I haven’t heard anything about it either and you’re the first I’m hearing this from. Thanks!

XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280 Internal Gaming SSD Up to 7,400 MB/s (AGAMMIXS70B-1T-CS)
This super fast and great for the price on Amazon on my ps5 I’m 6130 speed better speed than Samsung 980 is like 70$less
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Got the Samsung 980 pro 1tb today for 150 before the news came out, so excited
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
You did great work through the whole beta, learned so much, thank you!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Great content.
FireCuda 530 2TB no doubt. Bossing the reviews. Costs a bit more but will last the test of time. Ekwb version though need to wait on my pre-order. Super excited….for storage how times have changed.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Sooo quick question Nas. I recently got the Seagate Firecuda 350 1T and used the MHQJRH heatsink. Well….the 2T became available yesterday and I’ve been using the 1T for the past week. Is it okay to just switch the heatsink (with the thermal pads) onto the 2T now or just buy a whole new heatsink or thermal pads for the 2T? It seems to me like it would be fine to switch it but I wanted to ask a pro like yourself lol.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Which one should I settle on ? Any recommendations
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
when is out for AUS Region? 🙂
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Also this is why your channel is important. I purchased the WD SN850 today so your channel helped me a lot. ????????????????

REPLY ON YOUTUBE

REPLY ON YOUTUBE
SN850 SSDs are about to become as rare as PS5s
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Useful vid as always! I got the beta program email so have been using a 1tb Firecuda 530 W/ heat sink for a few days. Storage was definitely needed so glad it will be unlocked for everyone!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Ha I got featured ????
Thank you even more for alerting us to that Sabrent heatsink. And ALL the testing you do for us ????????????????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Finally I can install my WD SN850 and heatsink
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Copped an SN850 today
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Not surprised that Sony doesn’t have a list given that manufactures (like WD) are being sued for putting in lower spec parts in drives.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I Hope the Update does’nt kill any PS5’s
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I bought a heatsink already but idk if I should wait for the cover heatsink. ????
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
all I need now is VRR and VLLM for my X900H panel and PS5. Fingers still crossed for December release.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Wonder what time because its already 15th here in Aus.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Can u do a beta to official update change
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I’ve had good luck with Samsung storage products in the past so I went with the 1TB 980 Pro for my PC, and it works well. I recently bought the 1TB Gigabyte Aorus NVME for my PS5 since it included the heatsink for $200. Thank you for testing out multiple drives. Great content as always!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Finally my 1tb fire cuda 530 has Been waiting to be installed since release of ssd
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Thanks for all the work! You’ve really cleared up a lot of the confusion with this stuff and to be honest the fact you have to go through and find the compatibility instead of them is puzzling. Thanks nonetheless.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I got my wd black sn850 1TB with heatsink ssd ready for installation tomorrow on my PS5????????

Thanks for the hard work man can’t wait for the update to be out and I end up settling on the Viper VP3400 for its 7400 mb/s reads and 6800 mb/s write can’t wait to see how it performs in my PlayStation 5

I’ve watched all your PS5 SSD videos since you started doing them. Your videos really helped me learn which SSD’s worked best with the PS5. Using your information and benchmarks I settled on the WD SN850. Thanks again you’re da bomb!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I had just ordered an SSD and a heat sink and a few minutes later I saw the notification that the update was coming out tomorrow! I thought I should order a WD SN850 2TB before the update was officially released and they all went out of stock. I guess I just made it.

Still going for the Aorus 7000s for my PS5 as AU$600 for 2TB is best value for money & Sabrient’s outside of Amazon are rare along with Firecuda 530.

Sony won’t do an official list. There is no upside for them to do so, and plenty of potential downside when something they “approve” doesn’t work perfectly, or when somebody not on the list attacks them or even sues them.
