How to Attach Disc Drive to PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition
Sony launched the PlayStation 5 slim version last year. It is the default and only model on sale now unless you can find the older version somewhere. This is a slimmer version featuring 1TB SSD storage.
The new PlayStation 5 Slim is also available in a digital edition similar to the original version. The difference this time around is that it supports attaching a physical disc drive. It allows users to pair a disc drive if they want to play physical PlayStation game discs.
The overall PlayStation 5 disc installment process is easy to follow. Let’s have a step-by-step look at what you need to do.

- Take the disc drive and align its clips with the two holes on the console, marked with an upside-down triangle.
