Console HDD and SSD upgrade in Dublin

Common questions
Will I lose my games?
I transfer system and game data to the new drive where possible. Some setups may need games re-downloaded, but saves are preserved.
Can you upgrade a PS5 internal SSD?
Yes — PS5 has an internal M.2 slot for a compatible NVMe SSD. I fit and test a suitable drive for your console.
