PS5 Pro Setup with Disc Drive + NVMe M.2 + Stand

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

If you have further questions, please post them in comments Additional Context: - I skipped PS5 to PS5 Pro transfer by maximizing usage of internal and external storage. If this isn't an option. Your setup will be mostly same except you won't skip console transfer (but that can take a VERY long time). - I had a funny blooper in video I tried to edit out as best I can but basically I forgot to put the NVMe storage plate back on for the PS5 Pro so you get to see end of that blooper at least. - That cool painting over bed was like 10 dollars at a dollar store, but it adds a lot to the room doesn't it? :D

Sony got you falling for this PS5 Pro BS

[@clintzieandromeda6216]

This is awesome to watch. Glad you also got an original but seeing you with the pro is cool and putting a disc drive is like what I recommend for people who's got the pro. Have a good day and enjoy gaming.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great hands-on video! Thank you! ☺☺☺

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

Glad you liked.

Congratulations enjoy your new toy.

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

Thanks. It's been great for some under performing games. even Unpatched ones like FF16 performance mode now actually hits target 60 far more often and usually at a higher dynamic resolution than base PS5. and PSSR has been fantastic for rebirth and other games.

Bro I really love your content 💯 much love from Here in South Africa in Johannesburg we only gonna get the ps5 pro at 13 december 2024 at $1080 which is just madness for me.

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

It's expensive but all the tech experts who were like "you can build a PC that can do what it does for same price" tried it and actually failed. PS5 pro is quite powerful for it's price point. I've already played a few games on it and it's made a difference. Only poorly optimized games can't run at 4k/60 at this point thanks to upscaling tech.

Great video. Does it matter if you swap the SSD from PS5, before turning on the pro and updating the pro, so everything moves over successful. Or doesn't matter? Because I already did the initial set up and updated the pro first without swapping the SSD yet. Also I'm assuming transferring all the games from the Base PS5 onto the SSD. Then swapping SSD to the pro. Then doing data transfer, Makes the data transferring time much more faster, of transfering the rest of the stuff. Screenshots, user settings, etc. Less stuff to move over.

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

it wouldn't let me tranfer game saves to internal or external additional storage. it seems to only let game saves exist in built in console storage. or cloud. likely a security mechenism since ps3 and ps4 both had save editors get made once decryption was cracked. therefor, ps5 doesn't allow user to ever have access to them, period. no usb drive, no external storage no nvme storage, saves are hard locked to cloud and console storage, making you unable to copy it to a PC for decrypting and hacking. so TL/DR, you can't backup your saves except cloud or console to console transfer. as for other question, it should be safe to move nvme or external USB storage at any time.

Just bought ps5 pro yesterday night but i forgot i had purchased some games in disc but now i cant find disc drive anywhere its sold out

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

yeah i ordered mine ahead of pro launch assuming that would happen.

[@nemesis8140]

@ i have ps5 slim but im giving it away to my gf grandson hes 8 he has ps4 pro he has no idea about it yet

[@pr0blumz]

​@nemesis8140 You, sir, are a simp.

[@justinlee4348]

One question...can i backup my game to external ssd..and the just transfer back into my new console?.. because transfer via connecting two console is take so much time..>

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

That's precisely why I did it the way i did it. and yes external can backup PS5 games as well, they just won't play from that until moved back to internal storage on PS5 pro. Note though that backup on an external will be slower than backup on a much faster nvme since drive speed MUCH lower. depending on number of games that may be slow too. What I did was only fast cause I went from super vast storage to super fast storage (and PS4 games were already on external storage so no movement needed). But it may still be faster than console transfer.

[@justinlee4348]

@MysticalOS_Tech thanks...I'm gonna backup smaller game on external, and bigger game like final fantasy on nvme...I save time and space...thanks for the info

no noisier than reg ps5

[@LALakers4life34]

Version 1.3 with the only positive is it being a new console with impossible noticeable differences in graphics you wasted $ big time you only get it if your system breaks shame on you on not spending 1 grand on necessities

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

Two things. 1. I'm a content creator, this is a necessity. 2. Because of number 1, it's also a tax writeoff

[@rjs7984]

Im not buying it it's too expensive im getting the slim

[@MysticalOS_Tech]

I can understand that. a lot of setup at least will be same. If you add disc drive or stand for example. Or if you want to transfer games using storage vs console to console transfer.

[@rjs7984]

@MysticalOS_Tech that's won't be necessary because I'm getting the slim digital edition

[@ALPHATANK24]

I still have the og ps5

This graphics card is $4000 alone for pc so ps5 is a bargain relating to fun vs value, ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC 24GB
