How to: Install a CORSAIR MP600 ELITE SSD into your PlayStation 5 Slim

The MP600 ELITE is a high-performance PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD that includes a pre-installed low-profile aluminum heatsink which allows you to directly upgrade the storage of game consoles such as the PS5. The following instructions show the installation steps for a PS5 Slim console, for a standard PS5 console you can follow our guide for the MP600 PRO LPX.

With the console powered off, lay it on a smooth, flat surface and remove the side panel marked with a triangle.

A single screw secures the expansion slot cover in place, remove this to access the M.2 drive bay

In the M.2 drive bay is a single screw and spacer, remove these and adjust the spacer to the desired size, for the MP600 ELITE this will be 2280.

Install the MP600 ELITE by aligning the notch on the SSD with the M.2 slot, once aligned, firmly insert the SSD into the M.2 slot and secure the SSD using the screw.
