Samsung 990 Pro SSD Overview and PS5 Installation Guide

[@venomjr]

Sony stated that it definetly need a heatsink

[@mikeregan3174]

ok... Making a video and NOT installing a Heatsink, but saying you should is bloody ridiculous. Your Best Buy for god's sake - FIND A HEATSINK WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A VIDEO ON INSTALLING AN SSD INTO A PS5. Take the extra 4 minutes...? to go grab one.

[@JustJoshinYouBro]

Glad you said it.

[@ronnie.b31]

Exactly where’s the heat sink

[@jaywalia1535]

Legend only in-depth installation I love u bro 💯

[@r.t4130]

I bought this exact one without the Heatsink, can i buy the Heatsink separately later? And Where?

[@amisanati]

Thank you for the great review :)

[@av_rob79]

I see your read speed is around 6500, I just installed this same SSD and getting the same read speed. I thought the 990 pro should be closer to 7400?

[@ReisDiggerboy1st]

That's what I was thinking, Plus I tested fortnite and it took 48 seconds where before it took 42, I'm very confused and I'm even using an ethernet cable now?

[@JustJoshinYouBro]

So no software install or anything like that?

[@animegamesmoviesandotherst3037]

Can I set the SSD as my new save area? So I sabe thier once the Console is save area is used up.

[@Tomsinner151]

It is functional for PS5 Slim?

[@kendallmarin1010]

It takes seconds for it to over heat

[@primexyz1]

mine is only running at 1808 mb/s when in my ps5 i don’t have a pc to plug it into what should i do

[@weeku99]

Why would you not explain how to take the top off the ps5

[@e-rix1792]

Its not difficult it slides down very early.

[@weeku99]

@@e-rix1792 you’re right I was just in a grumpy mood that day, I figured it out eventually

[@asakurawhyte4320]

NO HEATSINK!?

[@fightthebully3331]

Do I got to update this thing before I install it in my PS5?

[@ascendantMethEnjoyer]

In February of 2023 Samsung put out update firmware I presume could be installed onto the SSD through the Samsung magician software. Is this the software update you're referring to? I can't confirm, but some online say the more recent run of units come with the updated firmware, perhaps since some time in 2023. So if you bought the SSD in 2024 you may be good without a firmware update. You'd have to install it in a PC to both check the firmware version and to update the firmware through Samsung's software

[@HAV0CGAM1NGTTV]

I got the ssd but it’s not fitting for some reason I can’t tighten the screw down it hits the ssd

[@steinvynck774]

The inside doesnt look like this on mine. Its just a Grey Iron plate and its up side down to place it😂

[@croniq4]

guys important question, will my saved data from other games be lost when i install and reboot the ssd or everything is going to stay the same??

[@croniq4]

also nice vid thank you for explaining!!

[@JustJoshinYouBro]

Should have to reinstall all games but your profiles should be saved on psplus if you have it.

[@HAV0CGAM1NGTTV]

And when I put it in the best I can it doesn’t pop up

[@nemerix75]

i've buyd it with heatsink. Can I install it with heatsink?

[@AlonzoGarcia-k8h]

No heatsink is it not required

[@BestBuyBlog]

Hi, a heatsink for your SSD is highly recommended. The purpose of this video is to show the install of the SSD as is.

[@2015gtbass]

He put the non heatsink included version. You can get it with or without.

[@Oasisaasil]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ without a radiator it won't work properly.

[@rowleybrown2219]

My PlayStation didn’t have that 80 screw on it so I don’t know how well it’s gonna work

[@jollama]

That’s a you problem

[@philiipromero6153]

That’s what happens when you buy a used ps5

[@Screwheaderick]

My screw was not on the 80 but the 110. Is this an issue ?

[@KRAWofficial]

Yes, the SSD will probably start flopping around in your console if the screw/spacer is in the “110” slot instead of the “80”. This particular SSD is 80 mm tall.
