Anyone added another ssd to their PS5? Looks incredibly simple so I'm mostly wondering about products people chose.

I've added 2 different ones. It's not hard at all. The only tool you need is a smaller Phillips head screw driver. As for products, the biggest thing you need to look for is the speed. Make sure it's fast enough for the ps5. I ordered the Western digital with 7300mbs speed. Make sure you get a heat sink with it. If you type ps5 hd into amazon you'll find all kinds of options around $100.

I have also and don't remember it being too difficult. I think opening the case might have been the trickiest part. Reiterating Scraper's advice.

Agree - removing the plastic cover/shell is not that straightforward, look at some YouTube videos to see where to grab it and where to pull/push to.

I wanted a large SSD with 4TB (I'm a bit of a download hoarder) and bought this one (got it for around USD270 during a sale): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CHH ... =UTF8&th=1
