so would my games that i have on my ps5 be fine and not go away? because i wanna to buy a extra storage but i don’t want my other games going away?

[@TurtleBroMC]

thank you so much for the tutorial

[@joeysaad69]

would you still need to move the games back to the internal storage to play them or can you play them off the ssd you added?

[@robnob333]

My understanding is that the added ssd is internal and functions the same as the hard wired ssd, so games should run from it. The only time you have to move the games back and forward is from the external drive, because the external drive has speed restraints. I hope it helps... Just my thoughts on what I have read elsewhere.
