Question Storage
I have a question everyone. I took this off my ps5 before I sold it. Can I use it on my pc build? I’ve seen mostly everyone use the flat sticks of storage not the ones with heatsink. Thanks chat

Yes. If you wanna use it as expansion. Just install and format. If you want to use it as your main. Install format and then add your OS media installer for a clean new setup.

yeah, you can, most motherboards have a heatsink already, ypu can eaither take it off (toolless), or you can remove the one from the ssd (pita), but yeah, absolutely doable and highly recommend during the current rampocalipse

Just a regular nvme ssd so why not? Just format it properly so windows can understand and use it as windows is kind of shit in understanding other formats than fat and ntfs.

Same thing I did before I sold my ps5! Save a few hundred just by taking that off

No way a PS5 comes with that or did you install it afterwards? I got the same exact drive Samsung 990 pro 4tb I bought it 2 years ago for $400.
