PlayStation 5 Internal M.2 SSD Expansion Slot Cover & Screw

The PlayStation 5 internal expansion slot cover is a small but important metal shield that sits over the M.2 SSD expansion bay inside the console. Whether you are installing an M.2 SSD to expand your PS5 storage, or reassembling a console following a repair, this cover is required to correctly secure the drive and protect it from heat and movement inside the chassis. It is a commonly lost or misplaced component during teardowns and repairs — and Sony does not supply it separately as a retail part, making genuine used pulls like this the only practical source.

The cover is secured by a single screw, which is included. Without this cover and screw correctly fitted, an installed M.2 SSD is left unsecured and exposed, which can cause drive movement, poor contact, and in some cases thermal issues with the expansion drive.

This is a genuine PlayStation 5 expansion slot cover with screw, removed from a known working console, fully tested and cleaned before shipping.

Please check your model number before ordering — this part is compatible with PS5 Disk and Digital Edition models CFI-1016A, CFI-1016B, CFI-1116A, CFI-1116B, CFI-1216A, and CFI-1216B. It is not compatible with later PS5 revisions including the CFI-1316 series or the PS5 Slim. Your PS5 model number can be found on the label on the base of the console.

What it fits:

• PlayStation 5 Disk Edition – CFI-1016A, CFI-1116A, CFI-1216A
• PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – CFI-1016B, CFI-1116B, CFI-1216B
• Resolves: missing M.2 expansion slot cover, lost or stripped expansion slot screw, unsecured M.2 SSD following installation, incomplete PS5 reassembly after repair or teardown

Fitting notes:
The expansion slot cover sits inside the PS5 M.2 SSD bay and is secured with the included screw. Access requires partial disassembly of the PlayStation 5, including removal of the outer panels and the M.2 expansion bay cover plate. This is a straightforward fit for anyone comfortable with PS5 disassembly — Sony’s own official guidance for M.2 SSD installation covers this exact process.
