Elite Game Drive 2TB

PlayStation 5 games are massive and you’ll quickly find that the included 825GB or 1TB drive is suffocating when just 5 games like FF7 Rebirth, Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Forbidden West, and God of War Ragnarok can completely clog up your console.

The Elite Game Drive gives you a lot more breathing room by giving you 2TB of space - kind of like when you find that epic inventory upgrade in a game that doubles your storage - yeah that's what this is.

In technical terms, this is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe 2TB 2280 SSD which just means its blazing fast and it fits into your PlayStation 5 (not your Steam Deck). It also works on your gaming PC or Portable PC like the Legion Go or ROG Ally X.

• Massive Storage: A 2TB capacity to install over 50 games, ensuring plenty of space for your library.
• Thermal Management: Equipped with a heatsink for optimal thermal protection, keeping the drive cool during intense gaming sessions.
• Lightning-Fast Speed: PCIe Gen4 NVMe technology delivers blazing-fast read speeds of up to 7000MB/s.
• Gaming Focused: Specifically optimized for use with PS5 and (portable) PC gaming platforms for seamless performance.
• Convenient Access: Play your games directly from the drive with no need for transferring, deleting, or re-downloading.

1. First we generally just recommend watching the official Sony video at https://youtu.be/b1vF42QfmTk on this, but if you prefer reading continue below.
2. To install Elite Game Drive into the PlayStation 5, turn off your console and remove all cables - wait for your console to cool down.
3. Place your PS5 console on a flat surface with a protective covering and remove the base. Position your PS5 console so that the PlayStation logo is facing down and the power button is facing towards you. Grip the top left corner of the cover and remove it by slightly pulling up and to your right. The cover lifts away. (search for this on YouTube if its not jiving)
4. There is a long rectangular cover over the expansion slot, secured with one screw at the top. Remove the screw from the expansion slot cover and then remove the cover.
5. Carefully remove the screw holding the existing SSD down. Move the spacer spacer to the groove corresponding to the size of your M.2 SSD. Hold the edge of your M.2 SSD, align it with the notch on the expansion connector, and then starting from diagonally upward firmly insert it all the way in.
6. Ensure the M.2 SSD circuit board is resting flush on the spacer, without obstruction from your cooling structure. If you proceed to the next step while your M.2 SSD is incorrectly inserted or not firmly inserted all the way into the expansion connector, it may cause damage to the terminal and your PS5 console.
7. Tilt your M.2 SSD down and fasten it to the spacer with the screw. Make sure your cooling structure is not obstructing the screw
8. Attach the expansion slot cover and fasten the screw. If the slot cover does not close properly, your cooling structure likely exceeds size requirements.
9. Replace the cover by positioning it slightly away (about 2 cm or 3/4 inch) from the top edge and sliding it back into place. You’ll hear a click when the cover is secured.
10. Connect the AC power cord, cables, and base, and then turn on the power.When your PS5 console turns on, the formatting guide appears. Follow the on-screen instructions and format your M.2 SSD.
